A mathematics test is applied to 29 students from the UPN people who obtain an average grade of 75.6 with a standard deviation of 5.23 It is known that the correct value of the test must be greater than µ= 74. Is there enough evidence to prove that Is the student average greater than the population average in the group? Consider a significance level of 0.05

Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of womenarrow_forwardA mathematics test is applied to 34 students from the UPN people who obtain an average grade of 75.6 with a standard deviation of 5.23.
