Retaking the SAT: Many high school students take the SAT's twice; once in their Junior year and once in their Senior year. In a sample of 55 such students, the score on the second try was, on average, 33 points above the first try with a standard deviation of 15 points. Test the claim that retaking the SAT increases the score on average by more than 30 points. Test this claim at the 0.01 significance level. (a) The claim is...
A school psychologist wishes to study the influence of three new curricula plans on the history achievement of junior high school students. Although the groups of students were selected on a fairly random basis, the psychologist has learned that there is considerable disparity among the groups with respect to verbal aptitude. What is the appropriate design to use in this study? Why is the design you named about appropriate? List ALL variables involved in this design State the appropriate research...

The SAT and the ACT are the two major standardized tests that colleges use to evaluate candidates. Most students take just one of these tests. However, some students take both. The data data42.datgives the scores of 60 students who did this. How can we relate the two tests? (a) Plot the data with SAT on the x axis and ACT on the y axis. Describe the overall pattern and any unusual observations. (b) Find the least-squares regression line and draw...
