As a bonus assignment a former student checked if your professor gave a statisticallysignificant difference in grades between his male and female students. She based herstudy based on grades assigned in intermediate Econ courses (Econ 303, 305 and 317)and her sample included nm = 485 male students and nf = 264 female students. Theaverage grades received were xm = 84.6 and xf = 85.8 The population standad deviation were σ m = 12.0 and σ f = 11.4 8. From the same extra-credit study as in question 7 see above, this former student found that the proportion of female students in principle courses (Econ 203, 205) was ?̅? = 0.380, while the proportion of female students in intermediate courses (Econ 303, 305, 317)
