A researcher wanted to determine whether language makes a difference in recalling sequences of numbers. Each test involved briefly displaying a random sequence of digits and then asking the participant to recall as much of the sequence as they could. The data collected for a sample of English speakers and a sample of Chinese speakers are given below. The means given are the average number of digits that could be remembered from the sequence. English Chinese Count 46 34 Mean 7.18 8.54 Median 7 8 StDev 1.439 2.567 If conducting a hypothesis test to see whether English and Chinese speakers significantly differ in terms of their mean recall, what is the magnitude of t, the test statistic? (answer to 3 decimal places) [If you have a negative value then just choose the correct magnitude - i.e. the value as a positive number]
