Two professors at a local college developed a new teaching curriculum designed to increase students' grades in math classes. In a typical developmental math course, 53% of the students complete the course with a letter grade of A, B, or C. In the experimental course, of the 15 students enrolled, 10 completed the course with a letter grade of A, B, or C. Is the experimental course effective at the a = 0.05 level of significance? Complete parts (a) through (g). (a) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: p = 0.53 versus H,: 0.53 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) (b) Verify that the normal model may not be used to estimate the P-value. Because npo (1- Po) = 3.7 < 10, the normal model may not be used to approximate the P-value. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (c) Explain why this is a binomial experiment. There is a fixed number of trials with two mutually exclusive outcomes. The trials are independent and the probability of success is fixed at for each trial. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

O Macmillan Learning Many young men in North America and Europe (but not in Asia) tend to think they need more muscle to be attractive. One study presented 200 young American men with 100 images of men with various levels of muscle. Researchers measure level of muscle in kilograms per square meter of body surface area (kg/m²). Typical young men have about 20 kg/m². Each subject chose two images, one that represented his own level of body muscle and one that he thought represented "what women prefer." The mean gap between self-image and "what women prefer" was 2.35 kg/m². Suppose that the "muscle gap" in the population of all young men has a Normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 kg/m². Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of muscle young men think they should add to be attractive to women. (They are wrong: women actually prefer a level close to that of typical men.) Give your answers to four decimal places. lower limit: upper limit: Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang, Peter…

What type of study is this? A first-year university unit wanted to give option of online teaching to determine whether online teaching improved learning outcomes. Students were allowed to enrol into online or on-campus classes. Grades at the end of semester were compared. Select one: O Experimental O Something else O Observational

A consumer group wanted to determine if there was a difference in customer perceptions about prices for a specific type of toy depending on where the toy was purchased.  In the local area there are three main retailers: W-Mart, Tag, and URToy.  For each retailer, the consumer group randomly selected 5 customers, and asked them to rate how expensive they thought the toy was on a 1-to-10 scale (1= not expensive, to 10 = very expensive). The toy was priced the same at all retail stores. 1. What kind of statistical test should be used to test the consumer group's research goal, assuming that the researcher wanted to use the 1-to-10 scale as a numerical interval measure? A. Repeated-measures t-test B. One-way Independent Measures ANOVA C. Repeated-measures ANOVA D. Independent-measures t-test   2. State the hypothesis that aims to test the consumer group’s research goal (i.e., what is H0 and HA).

Lisa's scores on tests for the assessment class are 93, 89, 87, and 83. She needs an 89.5 average to obtain an "A" in the class. Assuming that all tests, including the final, are equally weighted, what score must she obtain on the final exam to earn an "A"? CA Vimsi l

Administrators are certain about the effectiveness of the Clearwater Preschool spelling program.  The average spelling score is 28 for children of comparative age.  The data below are spelling scores from a sample of children from Clearwater Preschool.  Scores range from 0 - 40 with higher scores indicating better spelling.  What can be concluded with an α of 0.05?   A)What is the population? B)What is the sample?
