- The same final exam of the astronomy course was given to two groups of students. The maximum number of points that a student can score is 100. The first group consisted of a random sample of 10 students who were taught by Professor A. Students from the first group obtained the following results: 87 88 91 88 86 92 81 93 73 99 The second group consisted of a random sample of 9 students who were taught by Professor B. Students from the second group obtained the following results: 74 74 79 97 67 88 86 83 78 Compute the mean squares of between-group variability, MSBET.

- To compare two elementary schools regarding teaching of reading skills, 12 sets of identical twins were used. In each case, one child was selected at random and sent to school A, and his or her twin was sent to school B. Near the end of fifth grade, an achievement test was given to each child. The results follow: Twin Pair 1 2 3 4 5 6 School A 169 157 115 99 119 113 School B 123 157 112 99 121 122 Twin Pair 7 8 9 10 11 12 School A 120 121 124 145 138 117 School B 153 90 124 140 142 102 Suppose a sign test for matched pairs with a 1% level of significance is used to test the hypothesis that the schools have the same effectiveness in teaching reading skills against the alternate hypothesis that the schools have different levels of effectiveness in teaching reading skills. Let p denote portion of positive signs when the scores of school B are subtracted from the corresponding scores of school…arrow_forwardA horse trainer teaches horses to jump by using two methods of instruction.

If the value of the sample test statistic R, the rank-sum, is 150, calculate the P-value. Round your answer to four decimal places.arrow_forwardA data processing company has a training program for new salespeople. After completing the training program, each trainee is ranked by his or her instructor. After a year of sales, the same class of trainees is again ranked by a company supervisor according to net value of the contracts they have acquired for the company. The results for a random sample of 11 salespeople trained in the last year follow, where x is rank in training class and y is rank in sales after 1 year. Lower ranks mean higher standing in class and higher net sales.
