The average age at which adolescent girls reach their adult height is 16 years. Suppose you have a sample of 29 adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed, and who have an average age at which they reached their adult height of 17.8 years and a sample variance of 77.4 years. You want to test the hypothesis that adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed have a different age at which they reached their adult height than all adolescent girls. In order to calculate the t statistic, you first need to calculate the estimated standard error. The estimated standard error SM = (round to four decimals)

A certain IQ test is known to have a population mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15 in the general population. You want to test whether psychology majors have a different average IQ than the population as a whole. Assume the variance of IQ is the same for Psych majors as it is in the general population. Suppose that Psychology majors actually have an average IQ of 108. If you do a 2-tailed test at α= .05 with a sample of 56 Psychology majors, you will be able to reject the null hypothesis if the mean IQ of your sample is below [L] or above [H]. Find L and H values. Options listed below. [L] answer choices: 96.08, 98.00, 103.92, 104.08, 110.00, 111.92. [H] Answer choices: 96.08, 98.00, 103.92, 104.08, 110.00, 111.92.
