Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.

Hypothesis Testing for College Tuition Cost
D) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of your data set. You may use technology
such as Google Sheets, Excel, or a TI-83/TI-84. Round to the nearest hundredth.
In this assignment, you will be using inferential statistics to determine if a claim about college
tuition cost is accurate.
Standard Deviation
According to the College Boarď's website, the average tuition cost per year for a public four-
year college (in-state cost) is $10,230.
Mean &
A) Assume that you disagree with the claim. Do you think the average tuition cost is
higher? Or lower?
E) Using a significance level a = 0.05, find the critical value using the following steps.
1. What are the degrees of freedom?
B) Using your answer in part A, write a set of hypotheses (null hypothesis and alternative
hypothesis) to represent that claim and its complement. Replace the ?s below with the
appropriate inequality signs (<, s,>,2). Highlight the hypothesis that represents your
d. f.=n-1
claim.
2. Will this be a one-tailed or two tailed test?
Ho:µ ? $10,230
Ha: µ ? $10,230
C) Gather data for tuition cost of 20 different universities. Assume the data you gather is
normally distributed.
3. Using table 5 from the back of your textbook (page A18 in Appendix B), what is
the critical value?
How to Create your data set:
Follow the directions to fill in the table below with 20 college's tuition costs.
Navigate to https /hwww.collegetuitioncompare.com/compare/tables/
In the drop down menus, ONLY select School Type as "Public School and School
Level as *4 year or higher." Leave the rest of the drop down menus as is. Then select
"update."
• Scroll down to the bottom of the list and for "Number of schools to show," select "All."
The list given will be in alphabetical order. You will be selecting 20 college tuition
costs from this list. Do NOT just use the first 20 entries or even 20 consecutive
entries. You will need to randomly select 20 entries from the entire list. Try to make
sure you have a good range of tuition costs as well.
Write the tuition cost from the first column, "Tuition & Fees / In-State" for that college
in the table below.
F) Add the critical values to the graph below and shade the rejection region.
(Special Instruction: For this part, it is recommended that you do this by hand. You can print out
this page and use the image below as a template to write on or you can create a handwritten
normal curve. Take a photo of your graph and replace the image below with it. If you need any

) Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis using either the test
statistic or the P-value. Note that the same conclusion will be reached using either
method.
K) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
G) Calculate the test statistic. Replace the ?s in the formula with the appropriate values.
Round to the nearest hundredth.
