  1. Indicate the sample size (n = ), and describe what consequence this sample size will have on your analyses and on your reporting of results. I know that the sample size is (n=40) but don't know the consequences.

2.Choose a statistical procedure and explain how the statistical procedure you choose will help to answer your research question. I know that a two sample t-test is the procedure is the one that best fits my scenario chosen but need help on how it will help me answer my research question.

This is the scenario these questions are based off: The efficacy of two kinds of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in relation to a clinical population were compared. The therapies differed on the dimension of how wedded they were to the rational-emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), a subtype of CBT that emphasizes a directive, confrontational approach to encourage a patient to recognize the irrationality of specific thought patterns. Forty adolescents at an inpatient clinic for treatment of self-destructive behaviors were randomly divided into two groups of equal size, one of which received the less challenging type of CBT (Treatment A) and one of which received the more challenging kind of CBT (Treatment B). All patients were treated by trained therapists in one-on-one sessions for 1.5 hours per day (broken down into 45-minute sessions) for six weeks. All participants were apprised that they were part of a study, all participants signed consent forms, and all were told they would be informed of the results at its conclusion; participants exhibiting any behaviors that required critical intervention were promptly treated outside the plan of the study.
