(4)Five hundred students from a local high school took a college entrance examination. Historical data from the school record show that the standard deviation of test scores is 40. A random sample of thirty- six students is taken from the entire population of 500 students. The mean test score for the sample is three hundred eighty. Find (a) 95% confidence interval for the unknown population mean test score. (b) 95% confidence interval for the unknown population mean test score if...
2. In a large class, an in-person exam, where the lazy students couldn't do cheating, in a random sample of 8 lazy students, average exam score was 42.6 with sample standard deviation 4.4, while in a random sample of 10 non-lazy students, the average exam score was 49.8 with sample standard deviation 3.1. Assume that the two populations (Exam scores for the students who do not cheat) are normally distributed. Exam was out of 60points. (a) Assume that the two...

Suppose that a researcher, using data on class size (CS) and average test scores from 100 third-grade classes, estimates the OLS regression: 1. Test-Score = 520.4-5.82 × CS (20.4) (2.21) A classroom has 22 students. What is the regression's prediction for that classroom's average test score? Last year a classroom had 19 students, and this year it has 23 students. What is the regression's prediction for the change in average test score? The sample...

Researchers are concerned about the impact of students working while they are enrolled in classes, and they’d like to know if students work too much and therefore are spending less time on their classes than they should be. First, the researchers need to find out, on average, how many hours per week students are working. They know from previous studies that the standard deviation of this variable is about 5 hours. A survey of 200 students provided the following 95%...
A researcher wants to determine whether high school students who attend an SAT preparation course score significantly different on the SAT than students who do not attend the preparation course. For those who do not attend the course, the population mean is 1050 (? = 1050). The 16 students who attend the preparation course average 1200on the SAT, with a sample standard deviation of 100. On the basis of these data, can the researcher conclude that the preparation course has...
A sample of 10 students record their scores on the final exam for their statistics class. The mean of the sample is 81 with sample standard deviation 7 points. Analysis of the 10 sample values indicated that the population is approximately normal. We wish to find the 95% confidence interval for the population mean test scores. What is the confidence level, c? Which of the following is correct? To find the confidence interval, a z-critical value should be used because...
1. A college admissions director wishes to estimate the mean age of all students currently enrolled. In a random sample of 81 students, the mean age is found to be 20.51 years. From past studies, the standard deviation of the population is known to be 2 years, and the population is normally distributed. Construct a 99% confidence interval of the population mean age. (10 p) (Round off final answers to two decimal places, if appropriate. Do not round off numbers...
I. The data below set represents the scores of 12 randomly selected students on the SAT Physics Subject Test. Assume the population test scores are normally distributed and the population standard deviation is 104. 590 450 490 680 380 500 570 620 640 530 780 720 /2 (a) Find the point estimate of the population mean. (b) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. Interpret the results. (c) Does it seem possible that the population mean could equal...
9points) High School and Beyond, Part I. The National Center of Education Statistics conducted a survey of high school seniors, collecting test data on reading, writing, and several other subjects. Here we examine a simple random sample of 200 students from this survey. A histogram of the difference in the reading and writing score of each student is shown below 1. Which set of hypotheses is appropriate for the following research question: is there an significant difference in the average...
