The grade of statistics follows a normal distribution with a mean of 85 and a
standard deviation of 10. The instructor adopted a new teaching method this year,
and would like to investigate whether there is an improvement in students’
average grade. Suppose the average grade from a sample of 36 students is 88, can
we conclude that there is an improvement at the 5% significance level?
A. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses.
B. Determine the rejection region.
C. Calculate the test statistics.
D. Make a decision regarding the null hypothesis.
E. Report the conclusion.
F. Describe what a Type I Error would be in this scenario, and what the
consequence might be for the teacher.

The standard normal distribution is a continuous distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. The following is true: About 68% of all outcomes lie within 1 St.Dev. About 95% of all outcomes lie within 2 St.Devs. About 99.7% of all outcomes lie within 3 St. Devs. The probability/percentage/percentile for a normal distribution is the area under the curve. You will ALWAYS BE CALCULATING OVER AN INTERVAL. Values outside of 2 St.Devs. are considered “unusual values.”...
