A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in Utah and Oregon. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the mean annual income of childcare workers in Utah is less than the mean annual income of childcare workers in Oregon. To see if this is true, the firm selected a random sample of 20 childcare workers from Utah and an independent random sample of 20 childcare workers from Oregon and asked them to report their mean annual income. The data obtained were as follows. Annual income in dollars 27060 , 42320 , 36445 , 37895, 44564 , 35325 , 30313 , 28698, 33706 , 48365 , 26946 , 25063 , 28339 , 29265 , 40051 , 37026 , 40150 , 42753 , 27820, 39471 Utah 29769 , 48859 , 32480 , 36288,45102 , 46219 ,51098 , 45516 , 38834 , 44659 , 40755 , 38006 , 39947 , 29801 , 32200, 38731 , 41370 , 28059 , 33753 , 35271 Oregon Send data to calc... v Send data to Excel The population standard deviation for the annual incomes of…

A high school teacher would like to examine his students’ exam scores based on seating arrangements. He assigned n = 15 students to sit in the last three rows of his class and n = 15 students to sit in the first three rows. Each student received a 45-minute lecture for one week and were given the same exam the following school day. The front row students had a mean of M = 78 with SS = 10.50 on their exam. And the back row students had a mean of M = 72 with SS = 8.90. Is there a significant difference in exam scores? Test with = .05.

The Coca-Cola Company reported that the mean per capita annual sales of its beverages in the United States was 423 eight-ounce servings (Coca-Cola Company website, February 3, 2009).

A psychologist wanted to know if students in her class were more likely to cheat if they were low achievers. She divided her 60 students into three groups (low, middle, and high) based on their mean exam score on the previous three tests. She then asked them to rate how likely they were to cheat on an exam if the opportunity presented itself with a very limited chance for consequences. The students rated their desire to cheat on a scale ranging from 1-100, with lower numbers indicating less desire to cheat. The data: Achievement_Group Cheat 1 20 1 40 1 49 1 50 1 51 1 51 1 52 1 53 1 58 1 42 1 48 1 48 1 52 1 55 1 55 1 56 1 59 1 67 1 80 1 79 2 19 2 25 2 20 2 29 2 24 2 32 2 25 2 27 2 30 2 55 2 40 2 25 2 27 2 35 2 42 2 30 2 30 2 34 2 40 2 27 3 60 3 65 3 69 3 78 3 79 3 80 3 80 3 90 3 95 3 50 3 55 3 55 3 60 3 69 3 70 3 70 3 88 3 90 3 90 3 91 Before opening the data,…
As part of a dissertation at Oklahoma State University, Ota Lutz investigated the effect of teaching science to children using NASA materials versus traditional science instructions. Here are the final exam scores for the students in the two :groups Traditional: 64, 75, 72, 65, 53, 54, 71, 95, 73, 71 NASA :55, 80, 77, 76, 70, 61, 85, 67, 70, 84, 70 Is there a difference in the mean test scores for the ?two groups The null hypothesis, the alternative hypothesis and the kind of it (right- tailed, left- tailed or two- tailed), are Ho : Hirad = UNASA H: Hirad # HN ASA .The alternative hypothesis is two-tailed Ho : Hırad = HNASA H1: Hirad # HNASA .The null hypothesis is two-tailed Ho : Hirad = HNASA H: Hirad HNASA .The alternative hypothesis is right-tailed
