Does ginkgo biloba enhance memory? In a study to find out, 100 adult subjects who take ginkgo biloba once a day were randomly selected and 100 adults who do not take ginkgo biloba were randomly selected.

The average score for the ginkgo biloba group was 82.78 and for the no-ginkgo group the average score was 73.46 Is the claim "ginkgo biloba causes memory improvement" supported by this study?
Answer
  • Yes, because random samples were obtained and the average scores for the no-ginkgo group were lower
  • No, because memory test scores can only be recorded as a categorical variable
  • Yes, because there is evidence that the average memory test score for the population of ginkgo taking adults is higher than the average memory test score for the population of no-ginkgo taking adults
  • No, because this is an observational study with possible confounding factors, such as genetics

  • x̄ ~ N (3, 70) by CLT
  • x̄ ~ N (70, 3/8) because the sampled population is normal
  • x̄ ~ N (70, 3/8) by CLT
