A history professor was curious to see if students who finished his test first scored differently from the mean. The overall mean score on the test for the population of students was 75 with a standard deviation of 10 with a normal distribution. The mean score for the first 20 tests was 78. Was the mean score for students who finished first significantly different from the overall mean at the .05 level? Use each of the 5 steps of hypothesis testing for this problem. What can you conclude? Then calculate the 95% confidence intervals for the mean of the sample of students who finished first.
