A section of an Introduction to Psychology class took an exam under a set of unusual circumstances. The class took the exam in the usual classroom, but heavy construction noise was present throughout the exam. For all previous exams using the same format and same questions, student scores were normally distributed with a mean of µ = 75.00 and a population standard deviation (sigma) = 10.50. To understand the possible effects of the construction noise, you have been asked to perform a number of statistical procedures for the following sample of exam scores obtained during the construction noise:

Construction Noise Exam Scores

57 58 59 60 61 64 65 66 66 67 67 68

68 69 69 70 70 70 70 71 72 72 72 72

72 73 75 77 78 81 82 83 84 88 96 100

What is the sum of squared deviations (SS) of the sample?  Variance of the sample? Standard deviation of the sample?What is the z score for a raw score of 90 in the SAMPLE (as well as POPULATION)? Be sure to use the sample calculation for a z-score.

Suppose many classes took the same psychology exam and the average individual grade on the psychology exam is 70% (with a standard deviation of 10.4%). How much less likely is it to find a class (n=17) with an average on the psychology exam to be 75% than a single person with an average of 75% on the psychology exam?

In a statistics class, 8 students took their pulses before and after an exam. The pulse rates (beats per minute) of the students before and after the exam were obtained separately and are shown in the table. Treat this as though it were a random sample of statistics students. Test the hypothesis that the mean of statistics students' pulse rates is higher after an exam using a significance level of 0.05. Do the 5-step hypothesis test and submit an image...

About 130,000 high school students took the AP Statistics exam in 2010. The free-response section of the exam consisted of five open-ended problems and an investigative task. Each free-response question is scored on a 0 to 4 scale (with 4 being the best). For one of the problems, a random sample of 30 student papers yielded the scores that are graphed in the dot plot of part (a) in the previous problem. The mean score for this sample is x̄...
