Vitamin C is becoming an issue. A researcher thinks that high school students are getting enough. The researcher does a study of many local schools. The table shows the number of student who got the daily, recommended allowance of vitamin C. Can you conclude that the numbers of students who got the daily, recommended allowance of vitamin C is the same for all grades? Test the claim at the level of significance of .05.

A researcher is investigating the effects of a new studying program for high school students hoping to increase test scores on the ACT exam. The ACT has a population average of 21.1 and standard deviation of 3.2 for the composite score. The researcher had 15 participants in the study who had an average ACT composite score of 23.3.

2) Bon Air Elementary School has 300 students. The principal of the school thinks that the average IQ of students at Bon Air is 110. To prove her point, she administers an IQ test to 20 randomly selected students. Among the sampled students, the average IQ is 107 with a standard deviation of 6, suggesting that the average IQ is lower than she thought. Based on these results, should the principal accept or reject her original hypothesis? Assume a significance...

1. A researcher is interested in finding out if college-bound high school students tend to smoke cigarettes less than high school students who are not college-bound. He distributes a questionnaire and finds that for a group of 57 college-bound students, the mean number of cigarettes smoked per week is 4.0 with a standard deviation of 2.0. For 36 non-college-bound students, he finds that the mean number of cigarettes smoked per week is 9.0 with a standard deviation of 3.0. A....

A researcher wants to determine whether high school students who attend an SAT preparation course score significantly different on the SAT than students who do not attend the preparation course. For those who do not attend the course, the population mean is 1050 (μ = 1050). The 16 students who attend the preparation course average 1150 on the SAT, with a sample standard deviationof 300. On the basis of these data, can the researcher conclude that the preparation course has...
