Dr. Stoney and Dr. McAuliffe both teach statistics at Shochoe Bottom University. Of interest is the difference in the mean score earned by all of Dr. Stoney’s students on the test and the mean score earned by all of Dr. McAuliffe’s students on the test. A simple random sample of 72 students who took Dr. Stoney’s test was selected, the mean score on the test for this sample of 72 students was 78.3 with a standard deviation of 11.2. An independent simple random sample of 61 students who took Dr. McAuliffe’s test was selected, the mean score on the test for this sample of 61 students was 80.2 with a standard deviation of 9.7. It is conjectured that the mean score of all students who took Dr. Stoney’s test is different from the mean score of all students who took Dr. McAuliffe’s test. If appropriate, use this information to test (BY HAND) the hypotheses at the ?? = .10 level of significance.

Descriptive analysis revealed that the mean Test 3 score of all 63 students in Dr. Kilman’s statistics courses was an 80. Similarly, the standard deviation for all students’ Test 3 scores was found to be 16. Assume the Test 3 scores are approximately normally distributed. Next, suppose a random sample of 36 students is drawn. Let  be the mean Test 3 score of such a sample. 12. Since the standard deviation of the sampling distribution () is ______ than the population...

In a study of how external clues influence performance, university professors gave two different forms of a midterm tests to a large group of introductory students. The questions on the test were identical and in the same order, but one test was printed on blue paper and the other on red paper (Teaching Psychology, May 1998). Grading only the difficult questions on the test, the researchers found that scores on the blue test had a distribution with a mean of...

1. LSAT is an exam that university students take if they are interested in applying to med school. A professor said, "Because only a minority of university students take the LSAT, the scores overestimate the ability of a typical university student. The mean LSAT score is about 508, but I think that if all the students took the test, the mean score would be no more than 450". This professor gave the test to a random sample of 500 students...

A local university requires that all first year students complete a math course during first semester. This year the university is evaluating a new online version of the course. A random sample of n = 20 students is selected and the students are placed in the online course. At the end of the semester, all students take the same math exam. The average score for the sample of n = 20 students is M = 85. For the general population...

The president of a university claimed that the entering class this year appeared to have a mean SAT score lower than previous years. He took a sample of 20 of this year's entering students and found that their mean SAT score is 1,501 with a standard deviation of 53. The university's record indicates that the mean SAT score for entering students from previous years is 1,520. He wants to find out if his claim is supported by the evidence at...
