1. For a and b, conduct every step of the Hypothesis testing process (1-5). The distribution of SAT scores is normal with M = 500, with a standard deviation alpha = 100. Mable believes that she scored significantly higher than average, at x = 643. Did Mable scores significantly higher than the average SAT score? A sample of n = 30 adults is taken from the above population and their average SAT score is measured to be M = 507. Does this sample differ from the population?

Question

1. For a and b, conduct every step of the Hypothesis testing process (1-5).

  1. The distribution of SAT scores is normal with M = 500, with a standard deviation alpha = 100. Mable believes that she scored significantly higher than average, at x = 643. Did Mable scores significantly higher than the average SAT score?

  2. A sample of n = 30 adults is taken from the above population and their average SAT score is measured to be M = 507. Does this sample differ from the population?

Expert Solution
Step 1

1. The null and alternative hypothesis is given by;

H0: μ=500Ha: μ>500Let the level of significance be α=0.05Given;x=643n=1σ=100The test statistic is given by;z=n(x-μ)σ=1(643-500)100=1.43The critical value is given by;zα=z0.05We use Excel to find the critical value;

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Hence the critical value is;

z0.05 = 1.645 [Since Normal Distribution is symmetric]

Here;

z < z0.05

We accept the null hypothesis. Hence Mable did not score significantly higher than the average SAT score.
