4. An experimental study was conducted in the effect of programmed materials in English on the performance of 20 selected college students. Before the program was implemented the pretest was administered and after 5 months the same instrument was used to get the test result. The following is the result of the experiment. Pretest Posttest X1 X2 20 25 30 35 10 25 15 25 20 20 10 20 18 22 14 20 15 20 20 15 18 30 15 10 15 16 20 25 18 10 40 45 10 15 10 10 12 18 20 25

You are a sales manager for a grocery store, and you want to see if the introduction of a new sales promotion will increase the sales in your store. To do so, you decided to create an experiment by giving a small sample of customers the promotion before expanding it to a larger customer base. You gave 18 people the promotion, and also observed the sales of 27 people who did not get the promotion as a control group. You found those who received the promotion to have an average monthly sales of $456.60, with a sample standard deviation of $52.23. You found those who did not receive the promotion had an average monthly sales of $361.46, with a sample standard deviation of $56.11. Suppose you want to use hypothesis testing (two-sample test) to investigate if the promotion has increased the sales of your store. Using the order promotion no promotion in your hypothesis test, what is the value of the test statistic for your analysis? Note: 1- Only round your final answer. Round your final…
st is 22. Oishi and Shigehiro (2010) report that people who move from home to home frequently as children tend to have lower than average levels of well-being as adults. To further examine this relationship, a psychologist obtains a sample of n = 12 young adults who each experienced 5 or more different homes before they were 16 years old. These participants were given a standardized well-being questionnaire for which the general population has a
Julius has conducted a very small study of the amount of sleep his dorm mates get each night. He believes that those who are on one of the school’s sports teams will get more sleep (measured in hours per night) than those who are not. Julius surveyed 12 people. Of these, 6 played on a sports team and 6 did not. The descriptive statistics from his survey are given below. PLAYS SPORTS (Sample 1) DOES NOT PLAY SPORTS (Sample 2) 8 6 9 6 8 5 7 7 8 7 7 6 What is the critical value for this test? what is the t-obtain value for this t-test? Based on your t-obtained value, what should you conclude about the null hypothesis for this test?

There are many ways to measure the reading ability of children. Research designed toimprove reading performance is dependent on good measures of the outcome. Onefrequently used test is the DRP, or Degree of Reading Power. A researcher suspects that themean score µ of all third- graders in Henrico County Schools is different from the nationalmean, which is 32. To test her suspicion, she administers the DRP to an SRS of 44 HenricoCounty third-grade students. The distribution of scores is summarized in the Minitab outputbelow: MEAN STDEV SEMEAN MIN Q1 MEDIAN Q3MAXDRP 35.09 11.19 1.69 14.00 26.00 35.00 44.0054.00 Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the mean DRP score in Henrico CountySchools.
Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.

5. Use the data set 1. This is the result of a randomized trial in Uganda where 10 students in the same village were selected and given a solar-powered reading lamp. The second group was not given any lamp. The number of students out of 10 who improved their school grades for both groups were recorded. The experiment was repeated in 50 villages. Test the hypothesis that solar-powered reading lamps are effective in improving school grades in Uganda.
