2. The average score on an exam is 78. A test is given to 40 students and the average on the exam was 82 with a standard deviation of 14.

a) At the .01 level did the students do better than expected? (p = .039)

b) How do you explain the 4 point increase?

C) Interpret the p-value:

D) What is the only type of error that could have occurred

Expert Solution

b)

It may due to chance alone or it may possible only students very good in studies were in the sample.

c)

It shows the probability of getting sample results or more extreme results under the assumption that null hypothesis is true.

d)

Since we fail to reject the null hypothesis so type II error is possible.

The students scored an average final exam score of 83 with a standard deviation of 2. Assume that the scores are approximated by a normal distribution. What percent of students scored higher than an 86 on the final exam? What percent of students scored less than a 79 on the final exam? What percent of students scored between 79 and 86? What happens when you try to find the percent of students that scored less than 60?

The average final exam score for the statistics course is 78%. A professor wants to see if the average final exam score for students who are given colored pens on the first day of class is different. The final exam scores for the 11 randomly selected students who were given the colored pens are shown below. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 81, 61, 81, 91, 84, 56, 64, 74, 79, 63, 82 What can be concluded...

Problem 2. Test Scores Distribution. In a certain exam is taken by 200 students, the average score was 60 out of maximum of 100 points. It was also found that 32 students scored more than 75 points. Assuming that the exam scores were well represented by a Gaussian probability density function, (2a) Determine the mean of the distribution. (2b) Determine the standard deviation of the distribution. (2c) Determine the number of students who scored more than 90 points. (2d) Determine...

The average exam score for students enrolled in statistics classes at Indiana University Northwest is 80 and grades are normally distributed. A professor decides to select a random sample of 25 students from his CJ statistics class to see how CJ students compare to the student body in terms of exam performance. The average exam score of this sample is 78 with a variance equal to 100. Are the stats exam scores of the students in the CJ class significantly...

14. For a class of 36 students, the standard deviation score of exam 2 is 15. a) Find the critical values χ2L and χ2R for the 98% confidence level. b) Create the 98% confidence interval for the population standard deviation of exam scores. Is it possible for the class to have a standard deviation of exam scores 18 by the end of the semester?

A test is given and the average (μX) score was 190, with a SD (σX) of 50. Assuming a normal distribution for the grades, find the dividing line (test scores) between the A's, B's, C's, D's, and E's. The bottom 13% will be assigned the E's, the next 13% will be the D's, 50% will be the C's, the next 15% the B's and the top 9% will be the A's.
