Do men score higher on average compared to women on their statistics finals? Final exam scores of thirteen randomly selected male statistics students and twelve randomly selected female statistics students are shown below. Male:  58     63     58     82     94     71     55     95     62     86     65     69     88 Female:  49     62     79     55     50     64     66     81     80     49     50     59 Assume both follow a Normal distribution.  What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.10 level of significance level of significance? For this study, we should use Select an answer z-test for the difference between two population proportions? t-test for a population mean? t-test for the difference between two dependent population means? t-test for the difference between two independent population means ? or z-test for a population proportion? The null and alternative hypotheses would be:                  H0: Select an answer μ1  or p1  Select an answer > < = ≠  Select an  answer p2 or  μ2  (please enter a decimal)     H1:H1:  Select an answer μ1  or p1  Select an answer = > < ≠  Select an answer p2 or  μ2  (Please enter a decimal)       2. The test statistic ? t  or z  = _____  (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)            The p-value = ________ (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)            The p-value is ? >  or ≤  α 3. Based on this, we should Select an answer accept reject fail to reject  the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean statistics final exam score for men is more than the population mean statistics final exam score for women. The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean final exam score for the thirteen men that were observed is more than the mean final exam score for the twelve women that were observed.  The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.10, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean statistics final exam score for men is more than the population mean statistics final exam score for women. The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.10, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean statistics final exam score for men is equal to the population mean statistics final exam score for women.

Question

Do men score higher on average compared to women on their statistics finals? Final exam scores of thirteen randomly selected male statistics students and twelve randomly selected female statistics students are shown below.

Male:  58     63     58     82     94     71     55     95     62     86     65     69     88

Female:  49     62     79     55     50     64     66     81     80     49     50     59

Assume both follow a Normal distribution.  What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.10 level of significance level of significance?

For this study, we should use Select an answer z-test for the difference between two population proportions? t-test for a population mean? t-test for the difference between two dependent population means? t-test for the difference between two independent population means ? or z-test for a population proportion?

  1. The null and alternative hypotheses would be:   
  2.   

           H0: Select an answer μ1  or p1  Select an answer > < = ≠  Select an  answer p2 or  μ2  (please enter a decimal)   

 H1:H1:  Select an answer μ1  or p1  Select an answer = > < ≠  Select an answer p2 or  μ2  (Please enter a decimal)

      2. The test statistic ? t  or z  = _____  (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)

           The p-value = ________ (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)

           The p-value is ? >  or ≤  α

3. Based on this, we should Select an answer accept reject fail to reject  the null hypothesis.

Thus, the final conclusion is that ...

  • The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean statistics final exam score for men is more than the population mean statistics final exam score for women.
  • The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean final exam score for the thirteen men that were observed is more than the mean final exam score for the twelve women that were observed. 
  • The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.10, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean statistics final exam score for men is more than the population mean statistics final exam score for women.
  • The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.10, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean statistics final exam score for men is equal to the population mean statistics final exam score for women.
