4. A psychologist is evaluating different therapies for treating
depression. The psychologist selects 100 clients and randomly
assigns 25 to each group. After 8 weeks of treatment a
depression inventory is administered. Which statistical approach
should be used?

5. BGE has electricity savings days where it gives back to its
customers a percentage of its savings for using less electricity
than normal. Before going with this program for the entire state
of Maryland, BGE tested this concept using 100 single family
households during the month of July when the temperature was
predicted to exceed 90 degrees. 50 families were asked to
conserve energy but got no monetary incentives. The other 50
families were asked to conserve energy but were offered
additional menetary incentives. At the end of July the total
energy usage was measured. What would be the appropriate
hypothesis test to use to see if monetary incentives would
reduce energy consumption?
a. t-test for two independent variable
4. b. t-test for dependent samples
c. z-test for population mean
d. correlation
e. none of the above
