Question

A mathematics professor wants to determine whether there is a difference in the final averages between the past two semesters (semester 1 and semester 2) of his business statistics classes. For a random sample of 16 students from semester 1, the mean of the final averages was 75 with a standard deviation of 4. For a random sample of nine students from semester 2, the mean was 73 with a standard deviation of 6. Choose the correct answer

The computed test statistic for the appropriate test is
O
O t = 0.8944
O t = 1.0018
O z = 0.5009
O Other:
z = 1.9964

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
