A school district is implementing a reading program targeted to the lower 5% of students based on a standardized reading test. If the average score for all students is 122.6, and the standard deviation is 18, find the cutoff score for those qualifying for the new reading program. Find the percent below the desired data point, z-core for that percentage and the final answer.

Question 28 3 pts Suppose that the graduation rate in a school district is 85 percent. A random sample of students from the district are selected to participate in a mentoring program. Among this group of 100 students, 90 students graduate. The statistic for this hypothesis is ; therefore, you reject the null at the 5-percent level of significance and you conclude that the program is in increasing graduation rates. ot; 1.57; can; effective o Z; 2.80, can; effective t;...

A guidance counselor claims that the high school students in a college preparation program have higher ACT scores than those in a general program. The sample mean ACT scores for 37 high school students in a college prep program is 22.7 and assume the population standard deviation is 3.5. The sample mean ACT scores for 35 high school students in a general prep program is 21.1. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.9. At = 0.02 , test the...

A random sample of 64 second-graders in a certain school district are given a standardized mathematics skills test. The sample mean score is 51.57. Assume the standard deviation for the population of test scores is 15. The nationwide average score on this test is 50. The school superintendent wants to know whether the second-graders in her school district have greater math skills than the nationwide average. Perform the hypothesis test and compute the P value. Write down your P.value. You...

A sample of 100 high school students was provided a special training program designed to improve their speed reading skills. A month after the conclusion of the course, the students were contacted and asked whether the skills learned in the program were effective. 60 responded YES 9. a. State the null and altemative hypothesis such that one may conclude that if the null hypothesis is rejected then the program was effective. b. State the test statistic you will use. c....

Algebra scores in a school district are normally distributed with a mean of 74 and standard deviation 6. A new teaching-and-learning system, intended to increase average scores, is introduced to a random sample of 30 students, and in the first year the average was 76. (a) What is the probability that an average as high as 76 would have been obtained under the old system? (b) What is the null hypothesis for testing the new system, and what is the...

Suppose administrators at a large school district decide to institute mandatory study halls at their middle schools in an effort to boost their students' academic performance. After one year, a guidance counselor decides to test whether students' grade point averages (GPAs) have improved compared to the previous school year. The counselor selects a random sample of 25 eighth-graders from throughout the district who were also enrolled in the district for seventh grade. He records their GPAs for grades seven and...
