5. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (2009), scores on a mathematics assessment test for U.S. eighth graders have a mean of 283, a 25th percentile of 259, a 75th percentile of 308, and a 90th percentile of 329. Interpret each of these numerical descriptive measures.
Fill in the Blanks The National Center for Education Statistics reports that mean scores on the standardized math test for eighth-graders in 2009 increased slightly from those for previous years. The mean score in 2009 was 283. Assume that the standard deviation is 10. Find the probability that the test score of a randomly selected eighth-grader was greater than 290 What proportion of test scores was between 295 and 300? Suppose students who scored at the 5th percentile or lower...
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) includes a mathematics test for eighth-grade students. Scores on the test range from 0 to 500. Demonstrating the ability to use the mean to solve a problem is an example of the skills and knowledge associated with performance at the Basic level. An example of the knowledge and skills associated with the Proficient level is being able to read and interpret a stem-and-leaf plot. In 2015, 136,900 eighth-graders were in the NAEP sample...
A random sample of 86 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 275. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 270. Assume that the population standard deviation is 33. At alpha=0.05, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify H0 and...
A random sample of 75 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 279. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 275. Assume that the population standard deviation is 34. At c = 0.03, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (). (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify...
A random sample of 90 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 288. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 200. Assume that the population standard deviation is 37. At = 0.14 is there enough evidence to support the administrator's daim? Complete parts(a) through (e) (a) Write the calm mathematically and identity Hy and...
A random sample of 86 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 267. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 260. Assume that the population standard deviation is 31. At α=0.12, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify Ho and H...
Suppose that scores on the mathematics part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) test for eighth-grade students follows a normal distribution with sd equal to 110. You want to estimate the true mean score within +/- 10 points with 90% confidence. Suppose you find out that the most you can sample is only 225 subjects. Now estimate the confidence level you could attain with n=225.
Arandom sample of 89 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 254. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 280. Assume that the population standard deviation is 33. At = 0.09, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) OA HO <280 HA 200 (claim) OD. Hy 2...
A random sample of 78 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 276. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 270. Assume that the population standard deviation is 31. At a= 0.09, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify Ho...
