Complete: Chapter 3 Problem Set
A school district is deciding whether or not to adopt a new reading curriculum. Three classrooms are randomly selected as test sites for the curriculum.
To obtain a measure of student improvement, students in the three classrooms are tested on their vocabulary before and after the curriculum is
implemented.
The vocabulary test has 25 possible points. The post-implementation scores for the students in the third classroom are shown in the following table:
19 13 16 18 15 14 17 8 20 19 22 11
Calculate the sample size, n; the total sum, ΣX; and the sample mean, M.
n =
ΣΧ =
M =
The school district decides it will be easier to understand the scores if they are converted to a 100-point scale. This requires that each score be
multiplied by 4.
Calculate the new n, ΣX, and M.
