Question 12
A random sample of 64 second-graders in a certain school
district are given a standardized mathematics skills test. The
sample mean score is 51.12 . Assume the standard deviation for the
population of test scores is 15. The nationwide average score on
this test is 50. The school superintendent wants to know whether
the second-graders in her school district have greater math skills
than the nationwide average. Perform the hypothesis test and
compute the P-value.
Write down your P-value. You will need it for the next
question.
Round your answer to four decimal places (for example:
0.2305). Write only a number as your answer.
Question 13
Recall the previous question where the school superintendent
wanted to know whether second-graders in her school district have
greater math skills than the nationwide average. Based on your
P-value, what is the conclusion if we test at the 0.05 level of
significance?
Question 13 options:
There is evidence to conclude that the second-graders in her
district do not have greater math skills.
There is evidence to conclude that the second-graders in her
district have greater math skills.
This is not enough evidence to conclude that the
second-graders in her district have greater math skills.
There is not enough evidence to conclude that the
second-graders in her district do not have greater math
skills.
