Difference of Means Test. A sample of seniors taking the SAT in Connecticut in 2015 revealed the following results for the math portion of the exam by Race (Asian versus White) Calculate the difference as Asians - Whites. We will assume equal variances. We will use an alpha level of .05. We will test to see if the two means are different from each other. Asian White Mean 594 536 Std Dev 130 107 N 22 50 What is the Degrees of Freedom for a Difference of Means test of the Math SAT scores between Asians and Whites? This will be a whole number.

In the population of students who take the SAT, the average combined score is 1600. I wonder whether students in ohio differ from the population of students who take the sat. Suppose I select a random sample of 100 students from ohio and find that their average SAT score was 1630 with a standard deviation of 200. A. write the null and alternative hypotheses for this research question. B. Is the difference between the sample mean and the population mean is statistically significant using an alpha level of .05? C. Then calculate the 99% confidence interval for the mean and wrap words around it

For all U.S. students nationally who take the SAT, SAT Math scores are normally distributed with an average score of 500 for all U.S. students and a population standard deviation of 125. A random sample of 625 students entering Whitmer College had an average SAT Math (SAT-M) score of 488. The sample data can be used to test the claim that the mean SAT-M score of all Whitmer College students is different than the national mean SAT-M score. Based on the given information and using the appropriate formula, calculate the test statistic for this hypothesis test. Round your answer to two decimal places. Enter the numeric value of the test statistic in the space below:
