Question

Transcribed Image Text:We want to conduct a hypothesis test of the claim that the population
mean reading speed of second graders is different from 29 words per
minute. So, we choose a random sample of students' reading speeds.
The sample has a mean of 28.4 words per minute and a standard
deviation of 2.5 words per minute.
For each of the following sampling scenarios, choose an appropriate test
statistic for our hypothesis test on the population mean. Then calculate
that statistic. Round your answers to two decimal places.
(a) The sample has size 18, and it is from a normally distributed population with an
unknown standard deviation.
O z =
O It is unclear which test statistic to use.

Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the mean score of the population? What is the mean score of the sample? Is this test one-tailed or two-tailed? Why?arrow_forwardSarah thinks that she has lost interest in online shopping. Based on her shopping history, she can see that her average purchases in the past were about 4 items on average each week. Since this last month, she can now see that she has only purchased 2 items on average each week, (with a SD of 1).
