16. A researcher is testing the hypothesis that consuming a sports drink during exercise improves endurance. A sample of n 50 male college students is obtained and each student is given a series of three endurance tasks and asked to consume 4 ounces of the drink during each break between tasks. The overall endurance score for this sample is M 53. For the general population, without any sports drink, the scores for this task average 50 with a standard deviation of  12.

a. Can the researcher conclude that endurance scores with the sports drink are significantly higher than scores without the drink? Use a one-tailed test with  .05.

b. Can the researcher conclude that endurance scores with the sports drink are significantly different than scores without the drink? Use a two-tailed test with

 .05.

c. You should find that the two tests lead to different conclusions. Explain why.
