In a certain school district, it was observed that 25% of the students in the element schools were classified as only children (no siblings). However, in the special program for talented and gifted children, 54 out of 182 students are only children. The school district administrators want to know if the proportion of only children in the special program is significantly different from the proportion for the school district. Test at the α=0.05α=0.05 level of significance.
What is the hypothesized population proportion for this test?

z=z=
(Report answer as a decimal accurate to 3 decimal places.)
You are now ready to calculate the P-value for this sample.
P-value =
(Report answer as a decimal accurate to 4 decimal places.)
This P-value (and test statistic) leads to a decision to...
- reject the null
- accept the null
- fail to reject the null
- reject the alternative
As such, the final conclusion is that...
- There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the assertion that there is a different proportion of only children in the G&T program.
- There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the assertion that there is a different proportion of only children in the G&T program.
- The sample data support the assertion that there is a different proportion of only children in the G&T program.
- There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the assertion that there is a different proportion of only children in the G&T program.

- Two separate samples receive two different treatments. The first treatment group (N = 9) has a mean of 50 with SS = 710. The second treatment group (N = 6) has a mean of 60 with SS = 460. Is the second treatment group significantly larger than the first? What is the effect size?arrow_forwardSuppose IQ scores were obtained for 20 randomly selected sets of siblings.
