Imagine that you wish to compare a sample mean to a population mean to decide if you can reject the hypothesis that µ1= µ2. Assume that you have the following information: N = 45, M = 10, σ (sigma) = 2, µ = µM= 8. Which of the following types of tests should you use?
Group of answer choices
A) A z test
B) A one-sample t test
C)A paired-samples t test
D) An independent-samples t test
E) None of the tests listed above could be appropriate.
Here,
Population standard deviation( σ (sigma) ) is given,
Hence, we have to use z-test here.
i.e., Option A. is correct.
Thank you.

Imagine that you wish to examine two sample means to decide if you can reject the hypothesis that µ1= µ2. The sample means are comprised of GPAs (grade point averages) that were collected from different, randomly chosen, students at two different universities. Which of the following types of tests should you use? Group of answer choices A z test A one-sample t test A paired-samples t test An independent-samples t test None of the tests listed above could be appropriate.
Suppose a sample of 49 paired differences that have been randomly selected from a normally distributed population of paired differences yields a sample mean d⎯⎯ =4.6d¯ =4.6 of and a sample standard deviation of sd = 7.6.

Scenario 3. A 5th grade school teacher believes that she has an exceptionally gifted group of students in her class this year. She learns that the national average score on the 5th grade annual test is 150, with a standard deviation of 30. She wants to compare her student’s scores to the national average. 1. What is the null hypothesis for scenario 3? a. HO: µ1 = µ2 b. HO: µ1 = µ2 =µ3 c. r = 0 d. H0:...
Suppose that you wish to test a claim about a population mean. Which distribution should be used given that the sample is a simple random sample, σ is not known, n = 15 and the population is normally distributed?

Imagine that a researcher is conducting a paired-samples t test. She finds that the sample mean difference is 5, the standard deviation of the difference scores is 15, and the sample size is 85. The researcher is also using a typical null hypothesis that proposes no differences between the relevant population means. Under these circumstances, what is the value of the paired-samples t statistic? Please retain a minimum of three decimal places for all steps (if relevant) and provide a...
