A sample of 120 fifth-graders and another sample of 100 third-graders each took an identical writing exam. All the students’ exams were judged according to whether the performance met the state scholastic Level 3 standard. Among the fifth graders, 81 of the 120 met the standard. Among the third graders, 55 of the 100 met the standard. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the population proportion of fifth graders meeting the standard and the population proportion of third graders meeting the standard. Also, using a hypothesis test at alpha=0.05, assess whether the true proportion of fifth graders meeting the standard is greater than the true proportion of third graders meeting the standard (give the test statistic and P-value of your test) State which statistical method you used.

A sample size of 120 had a sample mean and standard deviation of 100 and 15 respectively. Of these 120 data values, 3 were less than 70, 18 were between 70 and 85, 30 between 85 and 100, 35 between 100 and 115, 32 were between 115 and 130 and 2 were greater than 130. Test the hypothesis that the sample distribution was normal.

Score on a 100-point test is normally distributed with mean 87.7. You took a sample of 36 students. The mean for this group is 92 and the standard deviation is 15. Test the hypothesis that the performance of this group is different than the regular student population. Use α=.05. What is the alternative hypothesis? What is the value of the test statistic? would you use the t test? What is the rejection region? the decision is to not reject the...
