A high school principle currently encourages students to enroll in a specific SAT prep program that has a reputation of improving score by 50 points on average. A new SAT prep program has been released and claims to be better than their current program. The principle is thinking of advertising this new program to students if there is enough evidence at the 5% level that their claim is true. The principle tests the following hypotheses: Ho = 50 points HA...
the average of numbers and then Standard deviation In 2018, the national average SAT score was 1067. Using the sample of 72 observations, we want to test whether the average SAT for ECO 2200 students is different from the national average. Given a .05 significance level, what is the test statistic? (Hint, in Excel, the standard error -STDEV.S/SQRT(n)) Select one: a. t 1.645 b. t 1.96 c. t 2.57 d. t 4.79 3 What do you conclude from the hypothesis...

A new SAT study course is tested on 12 individuals. Pre-course and post-course scores are recorded. Of interest is the average increase in SAT scores. The following data is collected. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. Pre-course score NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Pre-course score Post-course score 1230 1340...
A school counselor in a high school would like to try out a new conflict-resolution program to change aggressiveness in students. She first surveyed 16 students using a 20-item instrument to measure their levels of aggression (on a scale of 0 to 10, with higher numbers meaning higher aggression levels). One month after the conflict resolution program was implemented, the students were given the same survey. The data are listed in the table below. The school counselor/researcher has set the...
