A professor of business at a local college wanted to determine which of his two methods of teaching statistics resulted in better grades. He randomly selected 30 students from his current classes and set up two special sub-sections of the course, one for each of his two methods, with 15 students in each sub-section. After the semester was over, he placed the final averages for each of the students in a spreadsheet and wanted to determine if the difference in the average scores of the samples indicated that there would be a difference in the scores of the population of students.
Use the correct Excel function found in Data Analysis to determine if the population average scores of the two methods are the same. At the bottom of the Excel worksheet, write a Decision Rule and Conclusion Statement
Method 1: 86, 69, 85, 68, 68, 68, 87, 85, 85, 72, 67, 73, 84, 66, 76
Method 2: 91, 94, 55, 96, 70, 91, 58, 87, 64, 87, 95, 65, 86, 75, 88

A professor at a local community college noted that the grades
of his students were normally distributed with a mean of 74 and a
standard deviation of 10. The professor has informed us that 6.4
percent of his students received A's while only 2.5 percent of his
students failed the course and received F's. What is the minimum
score needed to earn an A? Enter your answer rounded to one decimal
place.

college professor never finishes his lecture before the end of
the hour and always finishes his lectures within 3 min after the
hour. Let X = the time that elapses between the end of the hour and
the end of the lecture and suppose the pdf of X is as follows.
f(x)= kx^2 0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 3
otherwise f(x)=0
a) find the value of K that satisfy condition of PDF?

Professor Bailey wanted to assess his students’ understanding
of statistics. He decided to test both their problem- solving
ability, and their conceptual understanding of basic statistics
principles governing the topics they had covered so far. He gave
his class 2 tests. Test 1 involved problem-solving using statistics
formulas and test 2 was conceptual (i.e. it involved students
interpreting statistical concepts). The mean on both tests was 70%.
However, the standard deviation for the problem-solving test was 5,
and the standard...

The proprietor of a boutique in New York wanted to determine the
average age of his customers. A random sample of 53 customers
revealed an average age of 28 years with a standard deviation of 4
years. Determine a 98% confidence interval estimate for the average
age of all his customers.
