    The document presents the results of a study comparing the effectiveness of hypnosis treatment versus standard treatment for reducing test anxiety in students. The alternative hypothesis is that hypnosis is more effective. The null hypothesis is that hypnosis is not more effective. Mann-Whitney U test results show Uobt is less than Ucrit, so the null hypothesis is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis. It is concluded that hypnosis is more effective than standard treatment in reducing test anxiety.

    A) What is the alternative hypothesis? Assume there is sufficient basis for a directional hypothesis.

    B) What is the null hypothesis?

    C) Using the Mann-Whitney U Test and a = 0.051 tail, what do you conclude?

    Solution:

    Hypnosis Treatment Standard Treatment

    20 42

    21 35

    33 30

    40 53

    24 57

    43 26

    A university counselor believes that hypnosis is more effective than the standard treatment given to
    students who have high test anxiety.

    • The alternative hypothesis is Ha is more effective than the standard treatment in reducing test anxiety.

    • The null hypothesis is Ho is not more effective than the standard treatment in reducing test anxiety.
    For computing, I used the Mann-Whitney U Test. The scores are grouped together and ranked. These
    procedures have been carried out for the data and are entered in the table below:

    Hypnosis Rank Standard Rank


    Treatment Treatment

    20 1 42 14

    21 2 35 11

    33 10 30 7

    40 13 53 19

    24 4 57 20

    43 15 26 5

    48 17 37 12

    31 9 30 7

    22 3 51 18

    44 16 62 22

    30 7 59 21

    n1 = 11 R1 = 97 n2 = 11 R2 = 157

    Equation:
    n1 (n1+1)
    Uobt = 11 n1 n2 + – R1
    2

    n2 (n2+1)
    Uobt = 11 n1 n2 + – R1
    2

    11 (11+1)
    a = 11 x 11 + – 97 = 90
    2

    11 (11+1)
    b = 11 x 11 + – 156 = 31
    2

    • Uobt = min (90,30) =31 and Uobt max (90,30) =90.

    • Evaluating Uobt (31) < Ucrit (34) and Uobt (90) > U crit (87). Reject Ho and accept H1.

    • I conclude that the hypnosis is more effective than the standard treatment in reducing test anxiety.
