It is known that the average time an adult can read a 1000-word passage is 4.5 minutes. A psychologist is interested in whether exercising eye muscles would make this process faster. 25 adults voluntarily participate in the research, and they do eye exercises for 5 minutes every day for 2 weeks. After the training session, they come to the researcher's lab and read a 1000-word passage while being timed. The dataset is provided in the Excel file.
Based on the study results, which of the following would be a correct reporting in APA format?
- A. A one-sample t-test was used to analyze data. Results showed that adults who exercised their eye muscles for 2 weeks read faster (M = 3.34, SD = 0.73) compared to the adults in general (M = 4.50; t(24) = -7.90, p < .05, d = -1.58).
- B. A one-sample t-test was used to analyze data. Results showed that adults who exercised their eye muscles for 2 weeks read faster (M = 3.34, SD = 0.73) compared to the adults in general (M = 4.50; t(24) = -7.90, p < .05, d = -1.58).
- C. A one-sample t-test was used to analyze data. Results showed that adults who exercised their eye muscles for 2 weeks read faster (M = 3.34, SD = 0.73) compared to the adults in general (M = 4.50; t(24) = -7.90).
- D. A one-sample t-test was used to analyze data. Results showed that adults who exercised their eye muscles for 2 weeks read faster (M = 3.34, SD = 0.73) compared to the adults in general (t(25) = -7.90, p < .05, d = -1.58).
- E. A z t-test was used to analyze data. Results showed that adults who exercised their eye muscles for 2 weeks read faster (M = 3.34, SD = 0.73) compared to the adults in general (M = 4.50; t(24) = -7.90, p < .05, d = -1.58).
