Mozart does not change the math score
13. To see if studying with Mozart music changes (or makes a difference for) math scores,...
A researcher wanted to see if students will learn more effectively with a constant background sound, as opposed to an unpredictable sound or no sound at all. She randomly divides twenty-four students into three groups of eight. All students study a passage of text for 30 minutes. Those in group 1 study with background sound at a constant volume in the background. Those in group 2 study with noise that changes volume periodically. Those in group 3 study with no...
A study randomly assigned students to listen to music by Mozart or no music while attempting to memorize objects pictured on a page. They were then asked to list all the objects they could remember. Assume both memory scores are approximately normally distributed. Group Music n x s 1 Mozart 20 10.021 3.193 2 No Music 15 12.779 3.432 Test if there is a difference in the mean memory scores between the two groups at ?=0.10. Find the p-value of...
Suppose you want to determine whether there is a significant difference in mean test scores for females and males. The test is out of 600 points. Using the following hypotheses: Ho: U1 - U2 = 0 HA: U1 - U2 (not equal) 0 And alpha of 0.05 you obtain the following results t-test Two-sample assuming unequal variances Females Males Mean 525 487 Variance 3530.8 2677.818182 Observations 16 12 Hypothesized Mean Difference 0 df 25 t stat 1.803753 P (T<=t) one...
A movie theater company wants to see if there is a difference in the average price of movie tickets in Memphis and Minneapolis. They sample 25 ticket stubs from Memphis and 20 from Minneapolis. Test the claim using a 10% level of significance. Assume the population variances are unequal and that movie ticket prices are normally distributed. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places. Minneapolis Memphis 8 9 10 12 9 13 10 11 10 10 10 11 9...
Math & Music (Raw Data, Software Required): There is a lot of interest in the relationship between studying music and studying math. We will look at some sample data that investigates this relationship. Below are the Math SAT scores from 8 students who studied music through high school and 11 students who did not. Test the claim that students who study music in high school have a higher average Math SAT score than those who do not. Test this claim...

A professor in the Business department wants to know if there is a significant difference in the performance on the first exam between two different classes. One class meets in the morning while the other meets at night. The results of this test are listed below along with an excel analysis conducted at the 5% significance level (α=0.05). t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances 8 am Class 7 pm Class Sample Mean 80.471 76.846 Sample Variance 97.51 162.14 Sample Observations 17...
Question number 11 A physician want to see if there was a difference in the average smokers' daily cigarette consumption after wearing a nicotine patch. The physician sets up a study to track daily smoking consumption. They give the patients a placebo patch that did not contain nicotine for 4 weeks, then a nicotine patch for the following 4 weeks. Test to see if there was a difference in the average smoker's daily cigarette consumption using a = 0.01. The...
