To evaluate the effect of a treatment, a sample is obtained from a population with a mean of μ = 25, and the treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample. After treatment, the sample mean is found to be M= 27.4 with SS = 64. If the sample consists of 9 individuals, what is the t statistic, and are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect using a two-tailed test with α = .05?
