Step 1) Population 1 (Sample): Population 2: Null Hypothesis (H0): Research Hypothesis (H1): Step 2) Determine the characteristics of the comparison distribution. Sample Mean = M = _________ Mean of the population = μ = ________ Population standard deviation = = _________ Standard deviation of distribution of means = = __________ Step 3) Determine the cutoff score on the z distribution (use a 0.05 p value). Cut-off score = _________ Step 4) Determine your sample’s z score. z = ___________ Step 5) Decide whether or not to reject null hypothesis. What conclusion can you make? Is the mean DRP score of Albany third graders greater than 30?
Here are the Degree of Reading Power (DRP) scores for a random sample of 10 third grade students in the Albany City school district:
31, 27, 38, 34, 42, 28, 26, 43, 46, 27
