To test this finding, a professor identifies a sample of n = 16 students who used the electronic version of the course textbook and determines that this sample had an average score of M = 72.5 on the final exam. During the previous three years, the final exam scores for the general population of students taking the course averaged μ =77with a standard deviation of σ = 8 and formed a roughly normal distribution. The professor would like to use the sample to determine whether students studying from an electronic screen had exam scores that are significantly different from those for the general population. 1. Using the standard four-step procedure, conduct a two-tailed hypothesis test with αto evaluate the effect of studying from an electronic screen.arrow_forward
- At any age, about 20% of American adults participate in physical conditioning activities at least twice a week. However, these activities change as people get older, and occasionally participants cease to be older as they age. In a local survey of n = 100 adults over 40 years of age, a total of 15 people indicated that they participated in these activities at least twice a week. Does this data indicate that the percentage of participation for adults over 40 years of age is considerably less than the 20% figure? Find the p-value and use it to draw the appropriate conclusions.arrow_forwardPet Owners A study of pet owners showed the following information concerning the ownership of the dogs and cats.
