Coaching and SAT scores Let鈥檚 first ask if students who are coached increased their scores significantly, on average.

a. You could use the information on the Coached line to carry out either a two-sample t test comparing Try 1 with Try 2 or a paired t test using Gain. Which is the correct test? Why?

b. Carry out the proper test. What do you conclude?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part(a) We will use paired t test.

Part(b) There are proper evidience that crores of students who are coached increased their scores significantly

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : Given information

We need to find which test to carry out either a two-sample t test comparing Try 1 with Try 2 or a paired t test using Gain.

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Simplify

The researcher wants to know if the students are coached and if so, whether their scores will improve.

To use the paired t test if every value in one sample has a corresponding value in the other sample; otherwise, use the two-sample t test.
As each subject is dependent, we will use the paired t test in this scenario.

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

We need to draw conclusion from test.

04

Part(b) Step 2 : Simplify

As given,

=0.05n=427xD=29sD=59

Now, all conditions Random, Independent and Normal are fulfilled then it is right to take hypothesis test.

Mean difference is positive. So, it is either null hypothesis or alternative hypothesis.

H0:D=0Ha:D>0

Statistics of test :

t=xD-DsDn=29-059427=10.157

Now,

df=n-1=427-1=426

Check df=100, P-value will be :

P<0.0005

P-value is less than significance level then reject null hypothesis,

Then P<0.05RejectH0

Therefore, there is convincing evidence that students who are coached increased their scores significantly.

Digital video disks A company that records and sells rewritable DVDs wants to compare the reliability of DVD fabricating machines produced by two different manufacturers. They randomly select 500DVDs produced by each fabricator and find that 484of the disks produced by the first machine are acceptable and 480of the disks produced by the second machine are acceptable. If p1,p2are the proportions of acceptable DVDs produced by the first and second machines, respectively, check if the conditions for calculating a confidence interval for p1-p2are met.

Does music help or hinder memory? Many students at Matt鈥檚 school claim they can think more clearly while listening to their favorite kind of music. Matt believes that music interferes with thinking clearly. To find out which is true, Matt recruits 84 volunteers and randomly assigns them to two groups. The 鈥淢usic鈥 group listens to their favorite music while playing a 鈥渕atch the animals鈥 memory game. The 鈥淣o Music鈥 group plays the same game in silence. Here are some descriptive statistics for the number of turns it took

the subjects in each group to complete the game (fewer turns indicate better performance):

Matt wants to know if listening to music affects the average number of turns required to finish the memory game for students like these.

a. State appropriate hypotheses for performing a significance test. Be sure to define the parameters of interest.

b. Check if the conditions for performing the test are met.

Starting in the 1970s, medical technology has enabled babies with very low birth weight (VLBW, less than1500grams, or about 3.3 pounds) to survive without major handicaps. It was noticed that these children nonetheless had difficulties in school and as adults. A long-term study has followed 242 randomly selected VLBW babies to age 20years, along with a control group of 233 randomly selected babies from the same population who had normal birth weight. 50

a. Is this an experiment or an observational study? Why?

b. At age20,179 of the VLBW group and 193 of the control group had graduated from high school. Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.05 significance level that the graduation rate among VLBW babies is less than for normal-birth-weight babies?

Who talks more鈥攎en or women? Researchers equipped random samples of 56 male and 56 female students from a large university with a small device that secretly records sound for a random 30 seconds during each 12.5-minute period over 2 days. Then they counted the number of words spoken by each subject during each recording period and, from this, estimated how many words per day each subject speaks. The female estimates had a mean of 16,177 words per day with a standard deviation of 7520 words per day. For

the male estimates, the mean was 16,569 and the standard deviation was 9108. Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.053051526=0.200=20.0%=0.05significance level of a difference in the average number of words spoken in a day by all male and all female students at this university?

A study of the impact of caffeine consumption on reaction time was designed to correct for the impact of subjects鈥 prior sleep deprivation by dividing the 24subjects into 12pairs on the basis of the average hours of sleep they had had for the previous 5 nights. That is, the two with the highest average sleep were a pair, then the two with the next highest average sleep, and so on. One randomly assigned member of each pair drank 2cups of caffeinated coffee, and the other drank 2cups of decaf. Each subject鈥檚 performance on a Page Number: 690standard reaction-time test was recorded. Which of the following is the correct check of the 鈥淣ormal/Large Sample鈥 condition for this significance test?

I. Confirm graphically that the scores of the caffeine drinkers could have come from a Normal distribution.

II. Confirm graphically that the scores of the decaf drinkers could have come from a Normal distribution.

III. Confirm graphically that the differences in scores within each pair of subjects could have come from a Normal distribution.

a. I only

b. II only

c. III only

d. I and II only

e. I, I, and III
