Robert thinks he and his brother Jack play a certain level on a video game at different speeds. He decides to test this hypothesis. They each play the level 15 times and compute their averages and sample standard deviations. Let μ 1 be Robert's average speed and μ 2 be Jack's average speed. P-value = 0.028 Will he use t or z as their test statistic? Is the test left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed? What can he conclude at the 5% significance level?

A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 1457 and the standard deviation was 315. The test scores of four students selected at random are 1900, 1200, 2180, and 1350. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual. The is the z-score for 1900?

Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 225 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 104.3 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 173.55 cm and a standard deviation of 5.15 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? Since the z score for the tallest man is z= and the z score for the shortest man is z= the V man had the height that was more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.)
