In the state of Kentucky, the mean SAT math score is 600 with standard deviation 75. A school system in Smithville decides to study if their scores are statistically less than the state. They gather data from 51 students in their district.

Question: The state decides to use a lower one-tailed test using α = 0.05. Find the correct critical value and the correct test statistic. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
critical value =
test statistic =
Critical value = -1.645
test statistics:
z = (xbar - mu)/(s/sqrt(n))
= ( 536.725 - 600)/(75/sqrt(51))
= -6.025

Consider the following hypothesis test:H0 : μ = 16Ha : μ ≠ 16A sample of 50 provided a sample mean of 14.34. The population standard deviation is 7. a. Compute the value of the test statistic (to 2 decimals).b. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? c. Using α = .05, can it be concluded that the population mean is not equal to 1?d. Using α = .05, what are the critical values for the test statistic (to 2 decimals)?e. State the rejection...
The national mean SAT score is 1435. The standard deviation for all SAT scores is 42.7. A random selection of 31 tests has a(n) mean score of 1425. Can it be concluded that the mean SAT score will be 1435 based on α-level of 0.03? a) Based on reading the problem, how do we know we are working with a hypotheses test (H0andH1H0andH1)? This question has two possible answers. b) Please select the correct normal distribution based on the correct...

The mean SAT math score in 2007 was 525 with a standard deviation of 114. An educational psychologist believes that students who take at least 4 years of English classes in High School score better on the SAT math exam. The psychologist obtains a random sample of 40 high school students who completed at least 4 years of high school English classes. The mean math exam score of these students was 540. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test at the Alpha...
The mean SAT score in mathematics, is 524. The standard deviation of these scores is 48. A special preparation course daims that its graduates will score higher, on average, than the mean score 524. A random sample of 37 students completed the course, and their mean SAT score in mathematics was 534 Assume that the population is normally distributed. At the 0.05 level of significance, can we conclude that the preparation course does what it claims? Assume that the standard...
