Does a statistics course improve a student's mathematics skills, as measured by a national test? Suppose a random sample of 13 students takes the same national mathematics exam prior to enrolling in a stats course and just after completing the course. At a 19% level of significance determine whether the scores after the stats course are significantly higher than the scores before. Take the differences - before - after.

O one-sided O two-sided Locate student 9 in the dataset. What rank will be given to this student? What is the value of the test statistic, T? Give answer to 1 decimal place. what is the critical value for the study? (Hint: student 10 will be dropped from the analysis, since the scores are the same before and after the stats class). Are the exam scores significantly higher after the stats course? O Yes O No

Cris Turlock owns and manages a small business in San Francisco, California. The business provides breakfast and brunch food, via carts parked along sidewalks, to people in the business district of the city. Being an experienced businessperson, Cris provides incentives for the salespeople operating the food carts. This year, she plans to offer monetary bonuses to her salespeople based on their individual mean daily sales. Her first task is to see if there is a significant difference in the mean daily sales among the different salespeople. She chooses a "sample" of days for each salesperson and records the sales for each day. She then runs a one-way, independent-samples ANOVA test to determine whether or not she can conclude that at least one salesperson's performances is significantly different from the others. (Otherwise, she'll split the bonuses evenly among all the salespeople.) In her ANOVA, the "groups" are the different salespeople, and the variable of interest is the daily sales…

The college physical education department offered an advanced first aid course last summer. The scores on the comprehensive final exam were normally distributed, and the z-scores for some of the students are shown below. Robert 1.24 Juan 1.66 Haley −1.84 Joel 0.00 Jan −0.84 Linda 1.68 Which of these students scored above the mean? (Select all that apply.) Which of these students scored on the mean? (Select all that apply.) Which of these students scored below the mean? (Select all that apply.) If the mean score was μ = 140 with standard deviation σ = 15, what was the final exam score for each student?

A study was conducted to examine the impact of speaking in public on college students. A class of 15 statistics students participated in the study. At the beginning of a lecture the students recorded their systolic blood pressure. During the lecture the instructor called on each student to stand and answer questions about topics in the lecture. After speaking the students once again recorded their blood pressure. The resulting values are given below along with summary statistics. before 100 123 128 125 136 108 130 113 105 136 146 138 108 149 132 after 141 142 146 136 144 111 132 114 103 133 140 130 100 133 113 difference -41 -19 -18 -11 -8 -3 -2 -1 2 3 6 8 8 16 19   before after difference mean 125.1 127.9 -2.733 st dev 15.26 15.45 15.23 Does this information indicate that blood pressure increased because of speaking?
