Chapter 10: Q. 10.12 (page 588)

A new prep class was designed to improve SAT test scores. Five students were selected at random. Their scores on two practice exams were recorded, one before the class and one after. The data recorded in the table given below. Are the scores, on average, higher after the class? Test at a 5%level.

Short Answer

Expert verified

No sufficient evidence is obtained to conclude that the class improves SAT scores significantly at a level of 5%.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Give the scores on two practice tests of five students, one before and after the class.

02

Calculation

The null and alternative hypothesis is

H0:渭d=0Ha:渭d>0

The significant level, 伪=5%=0.05.

p-value=0.0874

The p-value>0.05, therefore we do not reject the null hypothesis. As a result, there is insufficient data to infer that the class significantly increases SAT scores at 5%significant level.

93. A study is done to determine if students in the California state university system take longer to graduate, on average, than students enrolled in private universities. One hundred students from both the California state university system and private universities are surveyed. Suppose that from years of research, it is known that the population standard deviations are 1.5811 years and 1 year, respectively. The following data are collected. The California state university system students took on average 4.5 years with a standard deviation of 0.8. The private university students took on average 4.1 years with a standard deviation of 0.3.

At Rachel鈥檚 \(11th\) birthday party, eight girls were timed to see how long (in seconds) they could hold their breath in a relaxed position. After a two-minute rest, they timed themselves while jumping. The girls thought that the mean difference between their jumping and relaxed times would be zero. Test their hypothesis.

It is believed that 70%of males pass their drivers test in the first attempt, while 65%of females pass the test in the first attempt. Of interest is whether the proportions are in fact equal.

Indicate if the hypothesis test is for :

a. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances known

b. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances unknown

c. matched or paired samples

d. single mean

e. two proportions

f. single proportion

Use the data sets found in Appendix C to answer this exercise. Is the proportion of race laps Terri completes slower than 130 seconds less than the proportion of practice laps she completes slower than 135 seconds?

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. A researcher is testing the effects of plant food on plant growth. Nine plants have been given the plant food. Another nine plants have not been given the plant food. The heights of the plants are recorded after eight weeks. The populations have normal distributions. The following table is the result. The researcher thinks the food makes the plants grow taller.
