Reducing Errors in Spelling A ninth-grade teacher wishes to see if a new spelling program will reduce the spelling errors in his students writing. The number of spelling errors made by the students in a five-page report before the program is shown. Then the number of spelling errors made by students in a five-page report after the program is shown. At alpha = 0.05 (a=0.05) did the program work?
Before. 8---3---10---5---9---11---12
After. 6---4----8----1---4---7---11---
as test statistics is in rejection region we reject null hypothesis
we have sufficient evidence at 0.05 level to conclude that new spelling program will reduce the spelling errors in his students writing.
