A study was made to determine if the subject matter in a physics course is better inderstood when a lab constitutes part of the course. Students were randomly selected to participate in either 3-semesterhour course without labs or a 4-semester-hour course with labs. In the section with labs, 11 students made an average grade of 85 with a standard deviation of 4.7, and in the section without labs, 17 students made an average grade of 79 with a standard deviation of 6.1. Would you say that the laboratory course increases the average grade by as much as 8 points? Use a P-value in your conclusion and assume the populations to be approximately normally distributed with equal values. Also, test if section with labs had higher test scores, not at much as 8 points and compare the two conclusions.

1. Ms. Jackson has three sections of the course "Introduction to Statistics.” The midterm results reveal that class A has an average of 82, class B has an average of 88, and class C has an average of 92. If there were 20 students in class A, 25 students in class B, and 27 students in class C, what is the combined mean (the average for all the three classes)? Show your work. 2. In your Biology class, your final...

The owner of a golf course wants to determine if his golf course is more difficult than the one his friend owns. He has 11 golfers play a round of 18 holes on his golf course and records their scores. Later that week, he has the same 11 golfers play a round of golf on his friend's course and records their scores again. The average difference in the scores (treated as the scores on his course - the scores on...

6. (11 marks). Students sometimes compare different instructors teaching the same course and claim that one instructor is harder than another. The Department of Mathematics at the University of Kazoo decided to test this claim. They asked two different calculus instructors, Dr. Reimann and Dr. Poincaire, to prepare final exams and 20 volunteer students who had already passed calculus with other instructors to write both exams (one in the morning and one in the afternoon). The students grades were then...

A professor wanted to determine whether an online homework system improved scores on a final exam. In the fall semester, he taught a class using the online homework system (which meant students did their homework online and received instant feedback about their answers along with helpful guidance). I spring semester, he taught a class without the homework system (which meant students were responsible for doing their homework the old-fashioned way - paper and pencil). The professor made sure to teach...
