Suppose that Rachel studied for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) using a well-known preparation class and was thrilled to receive a total score of 760. Her friend Eric, however, thinks she would have scored just as well without the class.
To test the efficacy of the class, they obtain a small but random sample of 15 test results from other students using the same class. This sample's average is 567.23 with a standard deviation of 182.05. In comparison, the national average was 550.12. Assume the population's results are
Rachel and Eric decide to perform a two-tailed ?‑test at a significance level of ?=0.05. How many degrees of freedom should they use in their calculations?

- Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. The students in group 1 were asked to spend 5 minutes thinking about what it would mean to be a professor, while the students in group 2 were asked to think about soccer hooligans. These pretest thoughts are a form of priming. The 200 students in group 1 had a mean score of 23.5 with a standard deviation of 4.3, while the 200 students in group 2 had a mean score of 17.7 with a standard deviation of 4.1. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) Determine the 95% confidence interval for the difference in scores, μ1−μ2. Interpret the interval. The lower bound is __. The upper bound is ___ (Round to three decimal places as needed.) B Interpret the interval. Choose the correct answer below. A. The researchers are 95% confident that the difference of the means is in the interval. B. There is a 95% probability that the difference of the means is…Ann recently switched her primary doctor to one specializing in caring for elderly patients. On her new doctor's website, it says that the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females is 120 millimeters of mercury ( mmHg ). Ann believes the value is actually higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 10 randomly selected, elderly females. The sample mean systolic blood pressure was 128 mmHg , and the sample standard deviation was 25 mmHg . Assume that the systolic blood pressures of elderly females are approximately normally distributed. Based on the study, at the 0.10 level of significance, can it be concluded that μ , the population mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females, is greater than 120 mmHg ? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H0 and the…A local business offers test-taking courses for students who are planning to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) as part of their graduate school applications. The business promises to produce student test scores that are above the national average. You collect a random sample of 75 local students who have taken the course and calculate that their average GRE score is 1630 with a standard deviation of 320. The average GRE score for all students in the nation is 1590. Conduct a significance test at a=.05 to answer the research question: Does the course significantly improve local student GRE scores? What are the test requirements/assumptions for this significance test? Check all that apply. Random Sample Normal Sampling Distribution Interval-ratio variable of GRE scores With an alpha of .05, what is your critical score?
- Amanda recently switched her primary doctor to one specializing in caring for elderly patients. On her new doctor's website, it says that the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females is 115 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Amanda believes the value is actually higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 17 randomly selected, elderly females. The sample mean systolic blood pressure was 123 mmHg, and the sample standard deviation was 23 mmHg. Assume that the systolic blood pressures of elderly females are approximately normally distributed. Based on the study, at the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that μ, the population mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females, is greater than 115 mmHg? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. A.

The survey yields several scores, one of which measures student attitudes toward studying. The mean student attitude score for college students is about 30, and standard deviation is about 12. A researcher in the Philippines is concerned about the declining performance of college graduates on professional licensure and board exams. She suspects that poor attitudes of students are partly responsible for the decline and that the mean for college seniors who plan to take professional licensure or board exams is less than 30. She gives the SSHA to an SRS of 144 college seniors in the Philippines who plan to take professional licensure or board exams. Suppose we know that the student attitude scores in the population of such students are Normally distributed with standard deviation σ = 12. (a) We seek evidence against the claim that μ = 30. What is the…
- A pharmaceutical company needs to know if its new cholesterol drug, Praxor, is effective at lowering cholesterol levels. It believes that people who take Praxor will average a greater decrease in cholesterol level than people taking a placebo. After the experiment is complete, the researchers find that the 4848 participants in the treatment group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 21.521.5 points with a standard deviation of 2.52.5 points. The 4040 participants in the control group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 20.920.9 points with a standard deviation of 4.14.1 points. Assume that the population variances are not equal and test the company’s claim at the 0.100.10 level. Let the treatment group be Population 1 and let the control group be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. step 3 of 3 : Conclusion- fail to reject/reject...insufficient/sufficientA newly hired basketball coach promised a high- paced attack that will put more points on the board than the team's previously tepid offense historically managed. After a few months, the team owner looks at the data to test the coach's claim. He takes a sample of 36 of the team's games under the new coach and finds that they scored an average of 101 points with a standard deviation of 6 points. Over the past 10 years, the team had averaged 99 points.

- According to the Insurance Association in US, the average annual expenditure for automobile insurance is $605. Suppose that in a simple random sample of 80 residents of New York, for most recent year their average expenditure was $638.62 with the standard deviation of $106.05. Based on these data, examine whether the average annual insurance for motorists in New York might be different from that in national level. Using the 0.05 level of significance, what conclusion do you reach? Also, construct and interpret 95% confidence interval for the population mean. Is the hypothesized mean within the interval? Is this consistent with the findings of the hypothesis test conducted?Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. The students in group 1 were asked to spend 5 minutes thinking about what it would mean to be a professor, while the students in group 2 were asked to think about soccer hooligans. These pretest thoughts are a form of priming.
