#1. (15 points) Researchers decided to test which method is more beneficial in improving mood: drug or exercise. Having only a limited number of participants, researchers decided to test each subject in both conditions (1 week per each condition). The dataset HW_Dataset6 lists moods (0-35 scale; lower score = lower mood) for each subject tested in the “drug” and then in the “exercise” condition. Conduct a two-tailed paired-samples t-test using the Data Analysis Toolkit in Excel to compare mood between the two conditions. Include a screenshot of the resulting output. Report the appropriate t critical. Write an apa-style report for a paired-samples t-test you conducted. Follow the apa-style report template provided in Lecture 12. Note that all statistical parameters should be reported in italic.

#2. (15 points) Same as #1, but assume that the researchers had a unidirectional hypothesis that exercise would be better for mood than the drug. Conduct a one-tailed paired-samples t-test using the Data Analysis Toolkit in Excel to compare mood between the two conditions. Include a screenshot of the resulting output. Report the appropriate t critical. Write an apa-style report for a paired-samples t-test you conducted.
