6.73 Attitudes toward school. The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test that measures the motivation, attitude toward school, and study habits of students. Scores range from 0 to 200. The mean score for U.S. college students is about 95, and the standard deviation is about 20. A teacher who suspects that older students have better attitudes toward school gives the SSHA to 25 students who are at least 30 years of age. Their mean score is ¯x = 103.3.

  1. Assuming that σ = 30 for the population of older students, carry out a test of

    H0: μ = 95

    Ha: μ > 95

    Report the P-value of your test, and state your conclusion clearly.

  2. Your test in part (a) required two important assumptions in addition to the assumption that the value of σ is known. What are they? Which of these assumptions is most important to the validity of your conclusion in part (a)?
