when the sample size is large enough n>30, the population standard deviation is known, and population is normally distributed. Example: Is the mean of systolic blood pressure level for women use of oral contraceptives is identical with women does not use of oral contraceptives, the sample mean > 30, we known the population standard deviation and it is normally distributed. H0: µ1=µ2 H1: µ1≠µ2 2. t- test is used when the population standard deviation is not known, the sample…

All of this makes it difficult to compare and generalise findings across the reviewed studies, as well as, to other studies, making it difficult to identify…

some of these studies attempt to prove causation, it is impossible with a correlational design method. Regardless of a positive or negative correlation, it cannot be used to prove causation. In several of the studies there is a small sample size, or even a sample size that is not indicative of the entire population. Additionally there is no knowledge of whether or not the studies used a double blind technique. If a double blind technique is used there is no researcher bias. Without this…
