- Colleges announce an "average" SAT score for their entering freshmen. Usually the college would like this "average" to be as high as possible. A NewYork Times article noted, "Private colleges that buy lots of top students with merit scholarships prefer the mean, while open-enrollment public instituions like medians." Use what you know about the behavior of means and medians to explain these differences.arrow_forwardmake up 2 data sets, each with 5 values, that have the same mean and median, but different standard deviations.arrow_forwardA health journal conducted a study to see if packaging a healthy food product like junk food would influence children's desire to consume the product. A fictitious brand of a healthy food product-sliced apples-was packaged to appeal to children. The researchers showed the packaging to a sample of 348 school children and asked each whether he or she was willing to eat the product. Willingness to eat was measured on a 5-point scale, with 1 = "not willing at all" and 5 = "very willing." The data are summarized as x = 3.56 and s=2.19. Suppose the researchers knew that the mean willingness to eat an actual brand of sliced apples (which is not packaged for children) is µ = 3. Complete parts a and b below. a. Conduct a test to determine whether the true mean willingness to eat the brand of sliced apples packaged for children exceeded 3. Use α = 0.10 to make your conclusion. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: H₂:arrow_forward

- A psychologist wanted to know if students in her class were more likely to cheat if they were low achievers. She divided her 60 students into three groups (low, middle, and high) based on their mean exam score on the previous three tests. She then asked them to rate how likely they were to cheat on an exam if the opportunity presented itself with a very limited chance for consequences. The students rated their desire to cheat on a scale ranging from 1-100, with lower numbers indicating less desire to cheat. The data: Achievement_Group Cheat 1 20 1 40 1 49 1 50 1 51 1 51 1 52 1 53 1 58 1 42 1 48 1 48 1 52 1 55 1 55 1 56 1 59 1 67 1 80 1 79 2 19 2 25 2 20 2 29 2 24 2 32 2 25 2 27 2 30 2 55 2 40 2 25 2 27 2 35 2 42 2 30 2 30 2 34 2 40 2 27 3 60 3 65 3 69 3 78 3 79 3 80 3 80 3 90 3 95 3 50 3 55 3 55 3 60 3 69 3 70 3 70 3 88 3 90 3 90 3 91 Before opening the data,…arrow_forwardA psychologist wanted to know if students in her class were more likely to cheat if they were low achievers.
