Question
The College Board SAT college entrance exam consists of three parts:
math, writing, and critical reading (The World Almanac, 2012). Sample
data showing the math and writing scores for a sample of 12 students
who took the SAT follow.
Student | Math | Writing |
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
540 432 528 574 448 502 480 499 610 572 390 593 |
474 380 463 612 420 526 430 459 615 541 335 613 |
a. Use a .05 level of significance and test for a difference between
the population mean for the math scores and the population mean
for the writing scores. What is the p-value and what is your
conclusion?
b. What is the point estimate of the difference between the mean
scores for the two tests? What are the estimates of the population
mean scores for the two tests? Which test reports the higher mean
score?

Each of the children also underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess connectivity in the brain. More time spent reading was associated with higher connectivity, while more screen time was associated with lower connectivity in the brains of the children. 1. What is the sample in this study? c 2. What is a possible population? F6 3. Is this an experiment or an observational study? Why did you make that decision? 4. Can we conclude that more time spent reading increases connectivity in children's brains? 5. Identify a possible confounding variable and explain how it meets the definition of a confounding variable.
