Question

1. A student decided to enroll in a reading course that allegedly increases reading speed & comprehension. Prior to enrolling in the class, the student reads 198 words per minute (wpm). The following data represent the wpm for 10 different passages read after the course.

206, 210, 217, 197, 197, 212, 199, 227, 210, 209

Because the sample size is small some work was previously done to verify that the data is normally distributed & has no outliers. Determine if the course was effective using an α=0.10 level of significance.

1C) Calculate the appropriate Test Statistic.
1D) Find the appropriate Critical Value.
1E) Use your work in parts C & D to support and state your conclusion.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
