Question

You are testing the claim that the mean GPA of night students is different from the mean GPA of day students. You sample 20 night students, and the sample mean GPA is 2.85 with a standard deviation of 0.86. You sample 30 day students, and the sample mean GPA is 3.02 with a standard deviation of 0.4. Test the claim using a 5% level of significance. Assume the population standard deviations are unequal and that GPAs are normally distributed. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places.

What are the correct hypotheses?

H₀:           =

H₁:

Based on the hypotheses, find the following:

Test Statistic =

p− value =

The correct decision is to

The correct summary would be:       that the mean GPA of night students is different from the mean GPA of day students.

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.
