Abstract:
Kellen, Klauer, and Singmann (2012) questioned whether possible criterion noise would contribute significantly to modeling recognition memory. Our arguments were based on a reanalysis of the data by Benjamin, Diaz, and Wee (2009) as well as on new experimental data. In a comment, Benjamin (2013) questioned some of Kellen et al.'s conclusions and raised important issues regarding the new experimental data. In this reply, we revisit our arguments and provide new analyses in response to Benjamin's questions and issues.

Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation
The hypothesis testing for the claim of population standard deviation (or variance) requires the data and samples to be random and unbiased. The population distribution also must be normal. There is no specific requirement on the sample size as the estimation is based on the chi-square distribution.
As a first step, the hypothesis (null and alternative) concerning the claim about...
