Decision:
GIVEN:
Sample size of males
Sample size of females
HYPOTHESIS:
The hypothesis is given by,
(That is, there is no significant difference in GPA's between males and females.)
(That is, there is significant difference in GPA's between males and females.)
LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE:
Let us assume significance level to be .
TEST STATISTIC:
where
CALCULATION:
Let us first arrange GPA's of males and females in ascending order separately.
Males | Females |
3 | 1 |
6 | 2 |
11 | 4 |
12 | 5 |
14 | 7 |
8 | |

Now we should give combined ranks to both groups.
Males | Females | ||
3 | 3 | 1 | 1 |
6 | 6 | 2 | 2 |

Now
CRITICAL VALUE:
From the Mann Whitney U test critical value table, the two tailed (since ) critical value with and at significance level is .
DECISION RULE:
CONCLUSION:
Since the calculated test statistic value (19) is greater than the critical value (8), we fail to reject null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant difference in GPA's between males and females.

(Refer to HW6 #6) According to a survey, 73 males out of 786 and 43 females out of 943 report that they usually drive 10 or more miles per hour over the speed limit in Kansas City. We are interested in comparing the proportion of male speeders with the proportion of the female speeders. Is the proportion of male speeders higher than the proportion of female speeders? Perform a hypothesis testing at 6% significance level by answering the following questions....
In 1935, 25.3% of college students enrolled in an education major were male. A sample of students enrolled in an education major in 1995 consisted of 115 females and 65 males. Would this data be sufficient at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that the percentage of males enrolled in an education major increased from the 25.3%? Use the P-Value Method of Testing. In your work space below, you will need to have - 1. The null hypothesis, Ho...
A sample of 5 measurements, randomly selected from a normally distributed population, resulted in a sample mean, x¯¯¯=6.9 and sample standard deviation s=1.28. Using α=0.05, test the null hypothesis that the mean of the population is 7.7 against the alternative hypothesis that the mean of the population, μ<7.7 by giving the following: find: (a) the degree of freedom: (b) the critical t value: (c) the test statistic:
2. The average number of cups of coffee drunk each day by a randomly selected sample of 25 students was 4.4. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.5 cups of coffee. Does the sample provide enough statistical evidence to support a claim that students drink 4 cups of coffee per day on average? Test the hypothesis at a 1% level of significance. Perform a 1-sample Z-test of mean to assess the sample evidence. A. State the null and alternative hypotheses...
1. A researcher selected a random sample of 268 former students, 110 of whom were student-athletes, from a list of graduates of a large university. A total of 17% of the sample of student-athletes had earned graduate degrees, compared to 14% of the non-student-athletes. We want to know: Is this difference statistically significant at α = .01 for a two-tailed test? a) what is the t statistic b) what is our critical value of our test statistic? c) What is...
Q2) Independent-Samples t-Test (15 points total) Help with H, I, J, K, L please! In a research project, researchers collected demographic and health data from a sample of elderly residents in the community. To examine any possible gender differences in their sample, they want to see if the females and the males differ significantly on the education level (number of years of formal schooling). The researchers are not predicting any direction in the possible gender differences so the hypotheses should...
