A researcher is testing the hypothesis that consuming sports drinks 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 of male college students, without any sports drink, the scores for this task average = 50 and = 12. Can the researcher conclude that endurance scores with the sports drink are significantly higher than scores without the drink?
