Non-Computer Problems 1. College financial aid offices expect students to use summer earnings to help pay for college. But how large are these earnings? One college studied this question by asking a sample of students how much they earned. Omitting students who were not employed, 1296 responses were received. (dollar figures are expressed in thousands) Group nX Males 675 $18.85 $13.68 Females 621 $13.60 $10.37 Were the mean summer earnings significantly higher for males than they were for females? Use a 5% significance level. Show your work for all 4 steps in hypothesis testing. Be sure to include diagrams and to determine and interpret the p-value for your test-statistic. State in words what the conclusion you reach from the hypothesis test suggests about the answer to the italicized question.
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

2. FIU is interested in the effectiveness of teacher training classes on
the quality of instruction in discussion sections. The
administrators have decided to use a study with a matched,
experimental design to explore this problem. Thirty professors
took an intensive teacher-training class before the Fall '14
semester began and they were paired with professors teaching the
same courses who did not take the intensive training class.
Course evaluations were compared at the end of the semester,
and the mean advantage for those who took the course compared
to their matched counterparts was 1 point on ratings of the
question "The instructor is an excellent teacher." The standard
deviation of this difference was 2.5. Do teacher training classes
improve teaching evaluations? Use a 1% significance level. Show
your work for all 4 steps in hypothesis testing. Be sure to include
diagrams and to determine and interpret the p-value for your test-
statistic. State in words what the conclusion you reach from the
hypothesis test suggests about the answer to the italicized
