1. A large software company gives job applicants a test of programming ability and the mean for that test has been 160 in the past. Twenty-five job applicants are randomly selected from one large university and they produce a mean score and standard deviation of 165 and 12, respectively. Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that this sample comes from a population with a mean score greater than 160.

A large software company gives job applicants a test of programming ability and the mean for the test has been 160 in the past. Twenty-five job applicants are randomly selected from a large university and they produce a mean score of 183 with a standard deviation of 12. Use a 0.05 level of significance to test whether the mean score for students from this university is greater than 160. What is your conclusion?

A professor is concerned that the two sections of college algebra that he teaches are not performing at the same level. To test his claim, he looks at the mean exam score for a random sample of students from each of his classes. In Class 1, the mean exam score for 16 students is 80.4 with a standard deviation of 6.2. In Class 2, the mean exam score for 18 students is 77.8 with a standard deviation of 4.1. Test the professor’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal. Let Class 1 be Population 1 and let Class 2 be Population 2.
