Solve the following:
Q: Numerous studies have found that males report higher self-esteem than females, especially for adolescents (Kling, Hyde, Showers, & Buswell, 1999). Typical results show a mean self-esteem score of M=39.0 with SS=60.2 for a sample of n=10 male adolescents and a mean of M=35.4 with SS=69.4 for a sample of n=10 female adolescents.
a. Do the results indicate that self-esteem is significantly higher for male? Use a one-tailed with an alpha =.01
b. Use the data to make a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean difference in self-esteem between male and female
c. Write a sentence demonstrating how the results from the hypothesis test and the confidence interval would appear in a research report
