Question

Researchers believe that students who study from a screen (e.g., phone, computer) have different grades than students who study from physical pages (e.g., notes). To test this hypothesis, one professor identifies a sample of n = 16 students who study from a screen. They had an average score of M = 72.5 on the final exam. The average for the population of students for the final exam is Mu = 77, σ = 8 and forms a normal distribution. Based on this sample, does the professor have enough evidence to support the researcher’s belief at an α = .05 level? The researcher will use a one-sample z-test. All assumptions have been met.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
