OL Teacher Salaries A researcher claims that the mean of the salaries of elementary school teachers is greater than the mean of the salaries of secondary school teachers in a large school district. The mean of the salaries of a random sample of 27 elementary school teachers is $48,500, and the sample standard deviation is $3912.40. The mean of the salaries of a random sample of 25 secondary school teachers is $45,400. The sample standard deviation is $5533. At a=0.10,...
A researcher claimed that a higher proportion of women than men exercise regularly. A random sample of 150 men found that 88 of the men exercise regularly, while a random sample of 200 women found that 130 of the women exercise regularly. Test this claim using a significance level of 0.01. What is the z-stat? What is the p-value? What is your decision for the hypothesis test above? Retain or reject Ho? Please write a statement that summarizes your findings...
A researcher was studying teachers' uses of technology in instruction. She drew four samples of high school teachers, one each from teachers of mathematics, English, science and history. She made certain that all teacher participants in the study were teaching in their field of certification and that all had between five and ten years of experience in that subject area. Each teacher completed the Teach with Tech scale (Nerdy & Frump, 2008) a self-report instrument that measures the use of...
