100%
the scores of students on the math portion of a college entrance exam. Based on data from the administrator of the​ exam, scores are normally distributed with
μ=525.
The teacher obtains a random sample of
2200
​students, puts them through the review​class, and finds that the mean math score of the
2200
students is
530
with a standard deviation of
112.
Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below.
 
LOADING...
Click the icon to view the​ t-Distribution Area in the Right Tail.
​(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Let
μ
be the mean score. Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
H0: μ<525​,
H1: μ>525
 
B.
H0: μ=525​,
H1: μ>525
 
C.
H0: μ>525​,
H1: μ≠525
 
D.
H0: μ=525​,
H1: μ≠525
​(b) Test the hypothesis at the
α=0.10
level of significance. Is a mean math score of
530
statistically significantly higher than
525​?
Conduct a hypothesis test using the​ P-value approach.
 
Find the test statistic.
 
t0=
 
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
Approximate the​ P-value corresponding to the critical value of t.
 
The​ P-value is
   
.
Is the sample mean statistically significantly​ higher?
 
 
Yes
 
No
​(c) Do you think that a mean math score of
530
versus
525
will affect the decision of a school admissions​ administrator? In other​ words, does the increase in the score have any practical​ significance?
 
 
​No, because the score became only
0.95​%
greater.
 
​Yes, because every increase in score is practically significant.
​(d) Test the hypothesis at the
α=0.10
level of significance with
n=350
students. Assume that the sample mean is still
530
and the sample standard deviation is still
112.
Is a sample mean of
530
significantly more than
525​?
Conduct a hypothesis test using the​ P-value approach.
 
Find the test statistic.
 
t0=
 
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
Approximate the​ P-value corresponding to the critical value of t.
 
The​ P-value is
   
Is the sample mean statistically significantly​ higher?
 
 
Yes
 
No
What do you conclude about the impact of large samples on the​ P-value?
 
 
A.
As n​ increases, the likelihood of rejecting the null hypothesis increases.​ However, large samples tend to overemphasize practically significant differences.
 
B.
As n​ increases, the likelihood of rejecting the null hypothesis increases.​ However, large samples tend to overemphasize practically insignificant differences.
 
C.
As n​ increases, the likelihood of not rejecting the null hypothesis increases.​ However, large samples tend to overemphasize practically significant differences.
 
D.
As n​ increases, the likelihood of not rejecting the null hypothesis increases.​ However, large samples tend to overemphasize practically insignificant difference
