If one wants to test whether there is a difference in mean scores before and after an exam, which will be an appropriate test to use?
a) one sample z test
b) one sample t test
c) paired t test
d) two sample independent t test
If X is a random variable following a Uniform(a,b) distribution, which option represents an approxi- mate shape of its density function?
a) straight vertical line between a and b
b) straight horizontal line between a and b
c) symmetric U shaped curve between a and b
3. LetX∼N(20,1). WhatisP(X>20)?
a) 0.25
b) 0.5
c) 0.75
d) 0.99
If the data is in the form of a frequency table, it is best described using a:
a) histogram
b) pie-chart
c) stem and leaf plot
d) boxplot
1. Answer: Option C paired t test
To compare difference between population means before and after an trial or experiment, we use paired t-test
2. Answer: Option C Symmetric U shaped curve between a and b
Since it is continuous uniform distribution with values lies between a and b, hence frequency curve will be U shaped with values symmetrically distributed between range a and b
3. Answer: Option B 0.5
X ~ N(20,1)
P(x>20) = P[(x - 20) / 1 > (20 - 20) / 1]=P(z > 0) = 1-P(z < 0) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
4. Answer: Option A Histogram
Histogram helps in identifying distribution of data represented in frequency table i.e whether data is unimodal (one mode value) or bimodal (exists two mode values) or symmetrical or skewed as well as if it is skewed then whether it is positively or negative skewed.

please answer all question 16-20 Question 16 2 pts The population mean for a standardized test is 250. A research study with N = 30 adults from Virginia had a mean score of 260, with a 95% confidence interval of the mean reported as [248, 272]. What decision should be made based on this confidence interval? o Run the hypothesis test again o Accept the research hypothesis o Reject the null hypothesis o Fail to reject the null hypothesis Question...

Assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Find the probability that a given score is less than negative 0.96 and draw a sketch of the region. Sketch the region. Choose the correct graph below. A. -0.96 A symmetric bell-shaped curve is plotted over a horizontal scale. A vertical line runs from the scale to the curve at labeled...
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...
