In an experiment on magazine advertisements, a researcher is examining visual displays to determine if one is more memorable. Only a small number of subjects will be avaliable for study. Should the
Although you can compute a z-score for a single score (a sample of n=1) it is impossible to compute a t statistic for a sample that has only one score. Explain why.
