Students at a local middle school were randomly selected to participate in a reading comprehension program. The program is designed to increase their reading comprehension. A total of 21 students each took a pretest before the program and posttest after the program. The mean differences in the posttest and pretest is 24. The administration decided that all students in the school would participate in the program next school year. Let µA denote the mean score of the posttest and µB denote the mean score of the pretest for all students in the school. The 98 percent confidence interval estimate of the difference between the means for all students is (17, 31). What is an appropriate interpretation of the confidence interval?
|
a |
For any µA and µB with (µA µB) ≥ 23, the sample result is quite likely. |
|
b |
µA is greater than µB, with a probability of 0.98. |
|
c |
µA is less than µB, with a probability of 0.98. |
|
d |
For any µA and µB with 17 < (µA − µB) < 31, the sample result is quite likely. |
|
e |
µA is approximately 31 and µB is approximately 17. |

Thirty-six students at a local middle school were randomly selected to participate in a taste test to select a new menu item for a cafeteria. Each student was given a choice between the macaroni and cheese and the Cajun potato barrels. From the sample, 20 students selected macaroni and cheese and 16 students chose the Cajun potato barrels. Each student was asked to rate the item they chose on a scale from 1 (extremely dislike) to 9 (extremely like). Which...

A new program designed to improve high school student reading comprehension has been launched in a major school district. Students can choose how many hours they spend participating in the program, as an alternative to some other elective courses. A researcher is interested in a possible linear relationship between the number of hours a student spends taking part in the program (X) and standardized reading test scores (Y). 100 students were...

A school district is implementing a reading program targeted to the lower 5% of students based on a standardized reading test. If the average score for all students is 122.6, and the standard deviation is 18, find the cutoff score for those qualifying for the new reading program. Find the percent below the desired data point, z-core for that percentage and the final answer.

The Reading Company (TRC) develops educational products that it tries to sell to school districts all across the United States. TRC prides itself on only marketing products that have been empirically supported by research. It has developed a new product that is designed to improve the reading comprehension ability of 3rd through 6th graders. The product costs US$20,000 a year. Obviously, it will be easier to sell this product if TRC can provide potential buyers with empirical evidence that the...
