Professor Adams wrote a book called Improving Your Memory. The professor claims that if you follow the program outlined in the book, your memory will definitely improve. Fifteen people took the professor's course, in which the book and its program were used. On the first day of class, everyone took a memory exam; and on the last day, everyone took a similar exam. The paired scores for each person follow.
Last exam | 223 | 122 | 117 | 274 | 89 | 77 | 112 | 207 | 91 | 132 | 173 | 113 | 217 | 289 | 71 |
First exam | 171 | 116 | 116 | 209 | 66 | 87 | 168 | 199 | 77 | 111 | 143 | 19 | 196 | 242 | 91 |
Use a 0.01 level of significance to test the null hypothesis that the scores are the same whether or not people have taken the course against the alternate hypothesis that the scores of people who have taken the course are higher.
(a) State the test used.
(b) Give ?.
rank-sum test
runs test
sign test
spearman correlation test
answer: sign test
(b) Give ?.
answer: 0.01
(c) Find the sample test statistic. (Use 2 decimal places for the value of x in your calculations. Use 2 decimal places for your answer.)
(d) For the sign test, rank-sum test, and Spearman

- You are using cash to pay a $20 parking ticket. In your wallet you have one $5-dollar bill, two $10-dollar bills, and three $20 dollar bills, and you draw out one bill at a time at random until you have at least $20. If you keep track of each bill as you draw it out of the wallet, how many different ways are there for you to get at least $20?arrow_forwardResearch study comparing alcohol use for college students in the United States and Canada reports that more Canadian students drink but American students drink more.

Each student was then asked to list as many of the phrases as he or she could remember both two hours and twenty-four hours later. The number of phrases recalled correctly for each student are shown below.
