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...

A state's standardized physical education exam indicate that students average Mx = 10 push up s with a standard deviation of ox = 3. A school thinks that their students are better than this. They collect a random sample of n = 25 PE students and calculate a mean of ī= 11.5. A. What type of hypothesis test is this? B. What is the null and alternative hypothesis? C. What is the value...
According to district education office the average weight of higher primary students in that district is 48kg. However, a researcher claims that the average weight of the students is less than 48kg and to verify this, the researcher takes a sample 8 Students and records their weights links). The average weight of eight students is 46 kg with standard deviation of 4.8 kg. Test the claim of the researcher at d = 0.05 level by Setting up null and alternative...
QUESTION 13 A middle school art teacher knows that the average on a creativity test is µ = 200 with a standard deviation ofσ = 50. She wants to know if the average of M = 215 for a sample of 49 students from her classes is higher than 200. Compute the z score (the test statistic) for the sample mean. a. +0.30 b. +0.31 c. +2.10 d. +14.70 QUESTION 14 A middle school art teacher knows that the average...
Airlines compute the weight of outbound flights using either standard average weights provided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or weights obtained from their own sample surveys. The FAA standard average weight for a passenger's carry-on items (personal items plus carry-on bags) is 16 pounds. Many airline companies have begun implementing fees for checked bags. Economic theory predicts that passengens will respond to the increase in the price of a checked bag by substituting carry-on bags for checked bags. As...

health-related physical fitness battery of tests for students in K
- 12. One fitness area is Aerobic Capacity and is tested by having
students run one mile. In a particular county in Virginia, a sample

Amath teacher claims that she has developed a review course that increases the scores of students on the math portion of a college entrance exam. Based on data from the administrator of the exam, scores are normally distributed with p=512. The teacher obtains a random sample of 2200 students, puts them through the review class, and finds that the mean math score of the 2200 students is 518 with a...

A graduate student in education has developed an mathematical intervention program for under-performing school children. To test the effectiveness of his intervention he administers a math skills assessment at the beginning of the school year to a sample of n-25 students. He then implements the program throughout the year and re-assess the students again at the end of the school year. On average there was a 3 point difference between time 1 and time 2, with a variance value of...
