While researching lifestyle changes to improve heart health, you come across a research article reporting that the average American consumes about 2,700 calories per day (μ = 2,700).
You come across another article that refutes this, stating that a sample of Americans consumed significantly less than this mean standard on average, t(50) = 2.965, p < 0.05 (η2 = 0.15).
Assuming this test was a one-independent sample t-test, answer the following questions.
(a) Is this a significant effect? Yes, the effect is significant. No, the effect is not significant.
(b) What is the proportion of variance for this effect? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
