Question
Two independent groups of students were selected to participate in a study to determine if having video lectures in an online class has an effect on test scores. The students were randomly (SRS) placed into 2 groups, one group was the online class of 30 students with video lectures and the other group was the online class of 33 students without video lectures. The average test score on the online class of 30 students with video lectures was x-bar: 87 with a standard deviation of s = 1.8 and the average test score the online class of 33 students without video lectures x-bar = 86 with a standard deviation of s = 3.2. Is there enough evidence at the 1% level that the test scores of the online class with video lectures are higher than the test scores of the online class without video lectures? State the 99% confidence interval:
a) (87-86) – (0.99)(0.6468) = 0.3597 (87-86) + (0.99)(0.6468) = 1.64 We are 99% confident that the average test scores of the online class with video lectures are between 0.3597 points HIGHER to 1.64 points HIGHER than the average test scores of the online class without video lectures.
b) (87-86) – (0.99)(0.6468) = 0.3597 (87-86) + (0.99)(0.6468) = 1.64 We are 99% confident that the average test scores of the online class with video lectures are between 35.97% HIGHER to 1.64% HIGHER than the average test scores of the online class without video lectures.
c) (87-86) – (2.66)(0.6468) = -0.73 (87-86) + (2.66)(0.6468) = 2.73 We are 99% confident that the average test scores of the online class with video lectures are between 0.73 points LOWER to 2.73 points HIGHER than the average test scores of the online class without video lectures.
d) (87-86) – (2.66)(0.6468) = -0.73 (87-86) + (2.66)(0.6468) = 2.73 We are 99% confident that the average test scores of the online class with video lectures are between 73% LOWER to 2.73% HIGHER than the average test scores of the online class without video lectures.

- It currently takes users a mean of 12 minutes to install the most popular computer program made by RodeTech, a software design company. After changes have been made to the program, the company executives want to know if the new mean is now different from 12 minutes so that they can change their advertising accordingly. A simple random sample of 91 new customers are asked to time how long it takes for them to install the software. The sample mean is 11.7 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.6 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to see if the mean installation time has changed. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.arrow_forwardA company conducted a survey on the number of hours employees spend on a particular task per week. The data collected from a sample of 10 employees are as follows: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12, 13.

Assume that the population standard deviation for group runners is known to be 4.4 miles per week. She also interviews a random sample of 47 people who train on their own and finds that they run a mean of 48.5 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for people who run by themselves is 1.8 miles per week. Test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Let group runners training for marathons be Population 1 and let individual runners training for marathons be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic.
