An experiment is conducted to determine whether intensive tutoring (covering a great deal of material in a fixed amount of time) is more effective than paced tutoring (covering less material in the same amount of time). Two randomly chosen groups are tutored separately and then administered proficiency tests. The data collected and summarized below: Group1 (the intensive group) consisted of 15 students and resulted in an average grade of 49.55 with a standard deviation of 10. group 2 (the paced group) consisted of 17 students and resulted in an average grade of 42.29 with a standard deviation of 6.52. Assume that the population variances of both groups are different. Find the test statistic to test if intensive tutoring is more effective than paced tutoring at the significance level of 0.01.

The test statistic is t = 2.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before testing the hypothesis, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Group1 (the intensive group) consisted of 15 students and resulted in an average grade of 49.55 with a standard deviation of 10

This means that:

$\mu_1 = 49.55, s_1 = \frac{10}{\sqrt{15}} = 2.582$

Group 2 (the paced group) consisted of 17 students and resulted in an average grade of 42.29 with a standard deviation of 6.52.

This means that $\mu_2 = 42.49, s_2 = \frac{6.52}{\sqrt{17}} = 1.581$

Test if intensive tutoring is more effective than paced tutoring:

At the null hypothesis, we test that it is the same, that is, the means are the same and the subtraction is 0. So

$H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$

At the alternate hypothesis, we test that it is more effective, that is, the subtraction of the means is larger than 0. So

$H_a: \mu_1 - \mu_2 0$

The test statistic is:

$t = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 0$

From the two samples:

$X = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 49.55 - 42.49 = 7.06$

$s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{2.582^2+1.581^2} = 3.03$

Test statistic:

$t = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$t = \frac{7.06 - 0}{3.03}$

t = 2.33

The test statistic is t = 2.33.

Answer from: Quest

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true

Bwill make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y> -x- 2 true. o a. region b o b. region c o c. r

Q.1 dr. frank needs to choose 3 students from her advanced biology course to attend a conference in hawaii. the course has 40 students. which of the following methods could dr. frank use to choose a simple, random sample of 3 students? select all that apply. 1 dr. frank could have the students line up from shortest to tallest, then use her birthdate, 2/5/39, to select 3 students from the line (the 2nd student, the 5th student, and the 39th student). 2. dr. frank could upload her class roster into a spreadsheet and use a ranom-number generating function to produce 3 random numbers. the students whose names are located in the rows with these 3 numbers on the spreadsheet would be chosen. 3. dr. frank could choose the students with the 3 highest grades in the class. 4. dr. frank could count to three, then the first students to come to the front of the classroom and grab a golden ticket from her hand would be selected. 5. dr. frank could ask all students to write their name on a card, place all of the cards in a hat, shake the hat, and then pull 3 cards out from the hat. the students whose names appear on those 3 cards will be selected. 6. dr. frank could ask for volunteers to go to the conference, then choose the first 3 students who raise their hands. q2. now, choose one of the methods that you did not select and explain why this method would not result in a simple, random sample:
