Chapter 10.2, Problem 16E
Effect of Parents’ Education on Student SAT Scores. The College Board provided comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker’s parents. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on aver age score higher on the SAT. The overall
- a. Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the sample data support the hypothesis that students show a higher population mean math score on the SAT if their parents attained a higher level of education.
- b. What is the point estimate of the difference between the means for the two populations?
- c. Compute the p-value for the hypothesis test.
- d. At α = .05, what is your conclusion?

The following table describes the probability distribution of the number of
Mexican-Americans serving on a 12-member jury in Hidalgo County, Texas.
Assuming we repeat the random selection process for the 12 jurors and count the
number of Mexican-Americans each time, calculate the mean number of
Mexican-Americans (out of 12), the variance, and the standard deviation. Use these
results and the interval rule of thumb to calculate the highest common value and the
lowest common value. Based on the results, determine whether a jury consisting of 7
Mexican-Americans out of 12 jurors is common or uncommon.
Probability distribution: probabilities of
numbers of Mexican-Americans on a
12-member jury, assuming the
members are randomly selected from
a population in which 80% of the
inhabitants are Mexican-American
