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.

Marketing companies have collected data implying that teenage girls use more ring tones on their cellular phones than

teenage boys do. In one particular study of 40 randomly chosen teenage girls and boys (20 of each) with cellular phones,

the mean number of ring tones for the girls was 3.2 with a standard deviation of 1.5. The mean for the boys was 1.7 with

a standard deviation of 0.8. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the means are approximately the same or if the girls鈥�

mean is higher than the boys鈥� mean.

Use the following information to answer next five exercises. A study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a juggling class. Before the class started, six subjects juggled as many balls as they could at once. After the class, the same six subjects juggled as many balls as they could. The differences in the number of balls are calculated. The differences have a normal distribution. Test at the 1% significance level.

What conclusion can you draw about the juggling class?
