Question: A company sent its employees to attend two different English courses. The company is interested in knowing if there is any difference between the two courses attended by its employees. When the employees returned from the courses, the company asked them to take a common test. The summary statistics of the test results of each of the two English courses are recorded in the following table:

a. Identify the parameter(s) that would help the company determine the difference between the two courses.
b. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses that the company would like to test.
c. After conducting the hypothesis test at thesignificance level, the company found the p-value. Interpret this result for the company.
Optimal goal target in soccer. When attempting to score a goal in soccer, where should you aim your shot? Should you aim for a goalpost (as some soccer coaches teach), the middle of the goal, or some other target? To answer these questions, Chance (Fall 2009) utilized the normal probability distribution. Suppose the accuracy x of a professional soccer player鈥檚 shots follows a normal distribution with a mean of 0 feet and a standard deviation of 3 feet. (For example, if the player hits his target,x=0; if he misses his target 2 feet to the right, x=2; and if he misses 1 foot to the left,x=-1.) Now, a regulation soccer goal is 24 feet wide. Assume that a goalkeeper will stop (save) all shots within 9 feet of where he is standing; all other shots on goal will score. Consider a goalkeeper who stands in the middle of the goal.
a. If the player aims for the right goalpost, what is the probability that he will score?
b. If the player aims for the center of the goal, what is the probability that he will score?
c. If the player aims for halfway between the right goal post and the outer limit of the goalkeeper鈥檚 reach, what is the probability that he will score?
Angioplasty鈥檚 benefits are challenged. Further, more than 1 million heart cases each time suffer an angioplasty. The benefits of an angioplasty were challenged in a study of cases (2007 Annual Conference of the American. College of Cardiology, New Orleans). All the cases had substantial blockage of the highways but were medically stable. All were treated with drugs similar to aspirin and beta-blockers. Still, half the cases were aimlessly assigned to get an angioplasty, and half were not. After five years, the experimenter planted 211 of the. Cases in the angioplasty group had posterior heart attacks compared with 202 cases in the drug-only group. Do you agree with the study鈥檚 conclusion? 鈥淭here was no significant difference in the rate of heart attacks for the two groups鈥? Support your answer with a 95-confidence interval.
