    1. Harvard Law students' LSAT scores were sampled and their mean was found to be higher than the national average. A hypothesis test is conducted to determine if Harvard students truly score higher than average. 2. A teacher believes a new textbook is easier to understand based on student test scores. Hypothesis tests are conducted on old and new textbook score data to determine if scores improved significantly with the new book. 3. A football coach wants to know if speed training helped players' 40-yard dash times. Hypothesis testing is used to analyze players' times before and after training to determine if improvement was significant.

    Unit 6 REVIEW (Ch.

    23 – 25)

    1. The distribution of scores of students taking the LSATs is claimed to have a mean of 521. We take a sample
    of 100 incoming Harvard Law School freshman LSAT scores and find a mean of 589 and a standard deviation
    of 37. Since Harvard is an Ivy League school, they think their freshmen are smarter than average law
    students. Test this theory (that Harvard students score higher than average on the LSATs) at the 0.05
    significance level.

    2. A teacher wants to test the effectiveness of a new textbook. She believes that this new textbook is easier to
    read, and that her students should have better grades on their tests this year than they have in the past. She
    took a random sample of test scores from last year’s classes, and then a random sample of test scores from
    this year’s classes. Assume normal populations for both years. Test her theory at α= 0.01.
    Old book       New book    
    85 84 91 75 65 94 62 86 89 80
    75 82 84 89 62 96 88 88 79 75
    74 64 58 95 50 94 84 86 78 64

    3. A football coach is frustrated with his team’s lack of speed. He measures each player’s 40-yard dash speed
    and then sends all of them to a speed and agility camp. He then measures their times again after. The data
    is below. Is their sufficient evidence to say that the camp helped the players speed? Run a test.

    Before 4.88 5.1 4.41 4.73 4.6 4.8 4.95 4.98 5.2 5.13 5.05 4.9 4.7 4.6 5.11
    After 4.7 4.85 4.35 4.77 4.56 4.78 4.7 4.9 5 5.1 5.1 4.7 4.56 4.34 4.9

    4. Poisoning by DDT causes tremors and convulsions and slows recovery times of muscles. In a study of DDT
    poisoning, researchers fed several lab rats a measured amount of DDT. They then made measurements of
    the rats’ refractory period (the time needed for a nerve to recover after a stimulus). In their sample they find
    the following times: 1.61, 1.9, 1.53, 1.4, 1.33, 1.81, 1.3, 1.25, 1.65.
    a. Estimate the average refractory period using 95% confidence.
    b. If we know that the mean time for unpoisoned rats is 1.3 milliseconds, does your interval give
    evidence that the average time is different for poisoned rats?

    5. The Chapin Social Insight Test is a psychological test designed to measure how accurately a person appraises
    other people. The possible scores on the test range from 0 to 41. During the development of the test, it was
    given to several groups of people. Here are the results for male and female college students at a liberal arts
    college:
      n avg. std.dev
    Male 133 25.34 5.05
    Female 162 24.94 5.10
    Does the data support the contention that female and male students differ in average social insight? Use
    96% confidence to make your conclusion.
    6. Many drivers of cars that can run on regular gas actually buy premium in the belief that they will get better
    gas mileage. To test that belief, we use 10 cars in a company fleet in which all the cars run on regular gas.
    Each car is filled first with either regular or premium gasoline, decided by a coin toss, and the mileage for that
    tank-full is recorded. Then the mileage is recorded again for the same cars for a tank-full of the other kind of
    gasoline. We don’t let the drivers know about this experiment. Here are the results in miles per gallon:
    Regular 16 20 21 22 23 22 27 25 27 28

    Premium 19 22 24 24 25 25 26 26 28 32

    Is there evidence that cars get significantly better fuel economy with premium gasoline? Use 0.01 level of
    significance and a test.

    7. For inference on means, why is Student’s t-model used and not the Normal model?

    8. How is Student’s t-model the same as the Normal model?

    9. How is Student’s t-model different than the Normal model?

    10. How is degrees of freedom calculated and what effect does it have on the Student’s t-model?

    11. A certain population is skewed to the right. We want to estimate the mean so we take a sample. What must
    we know about the sample if we wish to create a confidence interval to estimate the true mean?

    12. If we calculate a 95% confidence interval, how can we decrease the margin of error without losing
    confidence?

    13. What is the critical value (t*) for a sample of 67 for 92% confidence?

    14. What is the critical value for a sample of size 153 for 97% confidence?

    15. What is the p-value if I have a test statistic of t = 2.145, sample size of 28, and am doing a 2-sided test?

    16. What is the p-value if I have a test statistic of t = -1.987, sample size of 193, and am doing a lower-tailed test?

    17. I have an interval that is (102, 105).


    a. What is the sample mean?
    b. What is the margin of error?
    c. Assuming that the standard deviation is 5 and the sample size is 40, what is the confidence level?
    Use the following information for problems #18 – 25.
    We wish to see if the dial indicating the oven temperature for a certain model oven is properly calibrated. 12 ovens
    of this model are selected at random. The dial on each is set to 300° F; after one hour, the actual temperature of each
    is measured with a thermometer. The temperatures measured had a mean of 302.5° F with a standard deviation of
    0.25° F. Assuming that the actual temperatures for this model when the dial is set to 300° are normally distributed,
    we test whether the dial is properly calibrated by testing the hypotheses H0: µ = 300, HA: µ ≠ 300
    18. Assuming conditions are met, calculate the t-statistic and P-Value for this problem.
    19. What does the P-Value mean in this context?
    20. What would be a Type I error in this context?
    21. What would be a Type II error in this context?
    22. What is Power in this context?
    23. If a 96% confidence interval were calculated what would be the critical value?
    24. What does 96% confidence mean in this context?
    25. If the test was redone with the same significance level on 24 ovens and the same mean and standard
    deviation were found:
    a. What would happen to the P-Value?
    b. What would happen to the Type I error?
    c. What would happen to the Type II error?
    d. What would happen to the Power?
    e. How would the 96% confidence interval change?
