(4) 114 pts] Grades on a standardized test are known to have a mean of 1000 for students in Canada. The test is administered to 453 randomly selected students in Alberta; in this sample, the mean is 1013 and the sample standard deviation is 108 (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average test score for Alberta students. (b) Is there statistically significant evidence (at the 5% level) that Alberta students per- form differently than other students in Canada?...

Grades on a standardized test are known to have a mean of 1020 for students in the United States. The test is administered to 473 randomly selected students in Florida; in this sample, the mean is 1033.26 and the standard deviation (s) is 110.16. The 95% confidence interval for the average test score for Florida students is ( 1023.33, 1043.19 ). (Round your responses to two decimal places.) Is there statistically significant evidence that Florida students perform differently than other...
Grades on a standardized test are known to have a mean of 920 for students in the United States. The test is administered to 445 randomly selected students in Florida; in this sample, the mean is 931.96 and the standard deviation (s) is 99.36. (a) The 95% confidence interval for the average test score for Florida students is: Lower limit (Round your responses to two decimal places.) Upper limit Round your responses to two decimal places.)

18. Scores this year on the SAT mathematics test (SAT-M) for students taking the test for the first time are believed to be Normally distributed with mean 4. For students taking the test for the second time, this year's scores are also believed to be Normally distributed but with a possibly different mean 42. We wish to estimate the difference - A random sample of the SAT-M scores of 100 students who took the test for the first time this...
An SAT prep course claims to improve the test score of students. The table below shows the scores for seven students the first two times they took the verbal SAT. Before taking the SAT for the second time, each student took a course to try to improve his or her verbal SAT scores. Do these results support the claim that the SAT prep course improves the students' verbal SAT scores? Let d=(verbal SAT scores prior to taking the prep course)−(verbal...

Scores on the SAT mathematics section have a normal distribution with mean 4-500 and standard deviation o=100. a. What proportion of students score above a 550 on the SAT mathematics section? Round your answer to 4 decimal places. b. Suppose that you choose a simple random sample of 16 students who took the SAT mathematics section and find the sample mean x of their scores. Which of the following best describes what you would expect? The sample mean will be...
Scores this year for students taking the SAT Math test for the first time are believed to be Normally distributed with mean Mi. For students taking the test for the second time, this year's scores are also believed to be Normally distributed, but with a possibly different mean M2. We wish to estimate the difference M2 - Mi. A random sample of the SAT Math scores of 100 students who took the test for the first time this year was...
