5. The superintendent of the local school district claims that the children in her district are brighter, on average, than the g

eneral population. To determine the aptitude of her district's children, a study was conducted. The results of her district's test scores were: 105, 109, 115, 112, 124, 115, 103, 110, 125, 99. If the mean of the general population of school children is 106, what could be said about her claim? Use alpha = .05

Answer:

We conclude that children in district are brighter, on average, than the general population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

105, 109, 115, 112, 124, 115, 103, 110, 125, 99

Formula:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1117}{10} = 111.7

Sum of squares of differences = 642.1

S.D = \sqrt{\frac{642.1}{49}} = 8.44

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = 106

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 111.7

Sample size, n = 10

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 8.44

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 106\\H_A: \mu > 106

We use one-tailed(right) t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{111.7 - 106}{\frac{8.44}{\sqrt{10}} } = 2.135

Now,

t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 9 degree of freedom } = 1.833

Since,                  

t_{stat} > t_{critical}

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

We conclude that children in district are brighter, on average, than the general population.

Hi there!

Since the sum of all angles in any triangle always adds up to 180 degrees, we can calculate this and solve for x.

4x + x + x = 180°
6x = 180
180 ÷ 6 = x
x = 30

So, now we know that x is 30°.

Hope this helps!
