National average ACT score for high school students stands at 25. A teacher thinks that her students perform better than average. So she collects data for 32 students and finds out that their average is 26.5 with standard deviation 3.7.
(a) Set up a hypothesis test to see whether the teacher is right
(b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean ACT score. Explain your choice of distribution in constructing the confidence interval (normal or t-distribution).
(c) Find the p-value for the test. What is your decision on the teacher’s claim?

The school physical education teacher thinks the average weight of 10th graders has decreased. The average weight of a 10th grader five years ago was 145 pounds with a standard deviation of 20 pounds. The teacher takes a random sample of 200 students and finds that the average weight of her sample is 143 pounds. Are 10th graders now weigh less than they were before? Conduct a hypothesis test with .05 significance level.

In 1990, the average math SAT score for students at one school was 475. Five years later, a teacher wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average math SAT score of students at the school has changed. He picks a random sample of 49 students and obtains their mean math SAT score, which is 490 and standard deviation is 25. Test whether the claim that the average math SAT score at the school has increased from 475...

A recent national survey found that high school students watched an average (mean) of 6.5 movies per month with a population standard deviation of 0.6. The distribution of number of movies watched per month follows the normal distribution. A random sample of 33 college students revealed that the mean number of movies watched last month was 5.8. At the 0.05 significance level, can we conclude that college students watch fewer movies a month than high school students? State the null...

A guidance counselor claims that the high school students in a college preparation program have higher ACT scores than those in a general program. The sample mean ACT scores for 37 high school students in a college prep program is 22.7 and assume the population standard deviation is 3.5. The sample mean ACT scores for 35 high school students in a general prep program is 21.1. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.9. At = 0.02 , test the...
