(a)
H0: Null Hypothesis:
= 900 (The mean examination score for new freshman applications
has not changed)
HA: Alternative Hypothesis: 900 (The mean examination score for new freshman applications has changed) (Claim)
(b)
n = 75
= 875
= 100
SE = /
= 100/
= 11.5470
Test Statistic is given by:
Z = (875 - 900)/11.5470
= - 2.1651
(c)
Table of Area Under Standard Normal Curve gives area = 0.4850
So,
p - value = (0.5 - 0.4850) X 2 = 0.03
Since p - value = 0.03 is less than = 0.05, the difference is significant. Reject null hypothesis.
Conclusion:
The data support the claim that the mean examination score for new
freshman applications has changed.
(d)
= 0.05
From Table, critical values of Z = 1.96
Since calculated value of Z = - 2.1651 is less than critical value of Z = - 1.96, the difference is significant. Reject null hypothesis.
Conclusion:
The data support the claim that the mean examination score for new
freshman applications has changed.
(e)
The mean examination score for new freshman applications has changed.

It is reported that the ACT scores of freshman students at NMSU is approximately Normally distributed, with mean of 20.5 and standard deviation of 5.1. (1) (3pts) If the university decides to offer a scholarship to the top 2% of students, how high does a student need to score on ACT test to qualify for that scholarship? (No points will be given without proper steps) (2) (3pts) A math class has 20 freshmen enrolled. If we assume the 20 freshmen...
Ozark University admission office is processing freshman applications for the upcoming academic year. The applications fall into three categories: in state, out-of-state, and international. The male-female ratios for in-state and out-of-state applicants are 1:1 and 3:2, respectively. For international students, the corresponding ratio is 8:1. The American College Test (ACI) score is an important factor in accepting new students. The statistics gathered by the university indicate that the average ACT scores for in-state, out-of-state, and international students are 27, 26,...

For a standardized psychology examination intended for psychology majors, the historical data show that scores have a mean of 520 and a standard deviation of 175 The grading process of this year's exam has just begun. The average score of the 35 exams graded so far is 528. What is the probability that a sample of 35 exams will have a mean score of 528 or more if the exam scores follow the same distribution as in the past?
