For each excerpt, identify the descriptive statistic and identify the inferential statistic. Also, decide which value is the test statistic and which value is the p-value. Then, decide what decision the author should make about the null and alternative hypothesis.

A.Participants in the wronging condition reported a higher mean entitlement score (M = 4.34, SD = 1.23) than did control participants (M = 3.85, SD = 1.19), t(92) = 1.96, p = .05.

4.What are two possible interpretations of the data?

B.People who wrote about a time when their lives were unfair were more frustrated (M = 2.45, SD = 1.21) than were people who wrote about a time when they were bored (M = 1.94, SD = 1.11), t(103) = 2.25, p = .03.
