In terms of standardized test scores in math and reading, was the program successful? Math Test-Systemwide Math Test-Program $\mu = 103$ $\overline{X} = 106$ $s = 2.0$ $N = 35$

Step 1
The program's average math test score ($\overline{X}$) is 106, with a standard deviation ($s$) of 2.0 and a sample size ($N$) of 35. We need to determine if the program was successful in improving math scores. Show more…

A researcher would like to evaluate the effect of a new reading program for second-grade students. For the past five years, a standardized test given at the end of second grade has produced a mean score of μ = 45. A sample of n = 25 students is placed in the new program and, at the end of the school year they obtain a mean test score of M = 51 with SS = 9600. Based on these data can the researcher conclude that the new program has a significant effect on reading scores? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05

A researcher is interested in whether a new reading program can boost the reading proficiency of elementary school students. The reading program is administered to a sample of 25 elementary school children. At the end of the program, the sample of students scores an average of 27 on the Rothstein Test of Reading Proficiency (RTRP). In the general population, the RTRP is scaled to have a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 2 for elementary school students. a.) Calculate a Z-test based on these data. b.) Do we retain or reject the null hypothesis? c.) Is the p-value associated with this result greater than or less than .05? d.) Is the result statistically significant? e.) Based on the results, did the reading program appear to improve reading proficiency? (Assume Zcrit = ±1.96)

A charter school started a special reading enrichment program for fifth-graders that has been underway for six months. One of the researchers wants to assert the program is having its intended effect, and collects a sample of 42 students from the program with a standardized reading test average of 29.6. The standardized reading test average for fifth-graders in the country is 26.3 with a variance of 19.36. What can be concluded with ? = 0.05? Compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s). If not applicable/appropriate, input and select "na" below. d =
