Question
A volleyball coach wants to test two different methods of practice for serving and determine if one is more effective than the other. She divides her team up into two practice groups. Practice Group A practices serving by going through several different stations. Practice group B scrimmages. At the end of a two-week period of practicing in groups, the coach tests all of her players on average successful serves out of 50. Which t-test should be used to determine if statistical differences exist between Group A and Group B?

The students believe that since a dime is lighter, it will have a lower proportion of times landing tails up compared with the penny. The students are instructed to spin the penny and the dime 30 times and record the number of times each lands tails up. For one student, the penny lands tails side up 18 times, and the dime lands tails side up 20 times. Let pp = the true proportion of times a dime will land tails up and pp = the true proportion of times a penny will land tails up. The P-value for this significance test is 0.296. Which of the following is the correct conclusion for this test of the hypotheses H Pp-Pp=0 and H, Po-Pp 0.05. There is sufficient evidence that the true proportion of times a dime will land tails up is significantly less than the penny. O The student should reject the null hypothesis since 0.296 > 0.05. There is insufficient…arrow_forward
- You need to use Stata to look up the dataset and its variables. Use Stata Companion Textbook. (Dataset: NES. Variables: spend8, [pw=nesw].) The NES dataset contains spend8, which records the number of government policy areas where respondents think spending should be increased. Scores range from 0 (the respondent does not want to increase spending on any of the policies) to 8 (the respondent wants to increase spending on all eight policies). The NES, of course, polls a random sample of U.S. adults. In this exercise you will analyze spend8 using the mean and lincom commands. You then will draw inferences about the population mean. (Remember to specify nesw as the probability weight.) The spend8 variable has a sample mean of ______. Make sure you use [pw=nesw] so your results are nationally representative. There is a probability of .95 that spend8’s true population mean falls between a score of ______ at the low end and a score of ______ at the high end.
