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...

Normal No Spacing Head 3. Fourth-Grade Test Scores A local school board was interested in comparing test scores on a standardized reading test for fourth-grade students in their district. They selected a random sample of five male and five female fourth grade students at each of four different elementary schools in the district and recorded the test scores. The results are shown in the table below. School 1 Gender Male School 4 350 565 566 620 School 2 642 710...

Are you smarter than a second-grader? A random sample of 63 second-graders in a certain school district are given a standardized mathematics skills test. The sample mean score is x = 50. Assume the standard deviation of test scores is o=11. The nationwide average score on this test is 52. The school superintendent wants to know whether the second-graders in her school district have different math skills than the nationwide average. Use the = 0.10 level of significance and the...

Research examining the effects of preschool child care has found that children who spent time in day care, especially high-quality day care, perform better on math and language tests than children who say home with their mothers (Broberg, Wessels, Lamb, & Hwang, 1997). In a typical study, a researcher obtains a sample of n = 10 children who attended day care before starting school. Then children are given a standardized math test for which the population mean is μ =...

A random sample of 64 second-graders in a certain school district are given a standardized mathematics skills test. The sample mean score is 51.57. Assume the standard deviation for the population of test scores is 15. The nationwide average score on this test is 50. The school superintendent wants to know whether the second-graders in her school district have greater math skills than the nationwide average. Perform the hypothesis test and compute the P value. Write down your P.value. You...

3) Suppose you are an educational researcher who wishes to examine the effect of a school district's class size on its student achievement. Specifically, you are interested in whether in the U.S., on average, school districts with smaller class sizes perform differently on test scores than school districts with larger class sizes. To test this, you have conducted two surveys. The first survey randomly sampled 238 school districts with small class sizes. This survey found a sample average test score...
