Several programs attempt to address the shortage of qualified teachers by placing uncertified instructors in schools with acute

needs—often in inner cities. A 1999–2000 study compared students taught by certified teachers to others taught by uncertified teachers in the same schools. Reading scores of the students of certified teachers averaged 35.62 points with standard deviation 9.31. The scores of students instructed by uncertified teachers had mean 32.48 points with standard deviation 9.43 points on the same test. There were 44 students in each group. The appropriate t procedure has 86 degrees of freedom. Is there evidence of lower scores with uncertified teachers?

Answer:

We conclude that the mean scores with uncertified teachers is higher or equal as compared to certified teachers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that reading scores of the students of certified teachers averaged 35.62 points with standard deviation 9.31. The scores of students instructed by uncertified teachers had mean 32.48 points with standard deviation 9.43 points on the same test.

There were 44 students in each group.

Let \mu_1 = <em><u>mean scores with uncertified teachers.</u></em>

\mu_2 = <em><u>mean scores with certified teachers.</u></em>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu_1\geq \mu_2     {means that the mean scores with uncertified teachers is higher or equal as compared to certified teachers}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu_1     {means that the mean scores with uncertified teachers is lower as compared to certified teachers}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>Two-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviations;

                          T.S. =  \frac{(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} } }  ~ t__n__1-_n__2-2

where, \bar X_1 = sample mean scores of students instructed by uncertified teachers = 32.48 points

\bar X_2 = sample mean scores of students instructed by certified teachers = 35.62 points

s_1 = sample standard deviation of scores of students instructed by uncertified teachers = 9.43 points

s_2 = sample standard deviation of scores of students instructed by certified teachers = 9.31 points

n_1 = sample of students under uncertified teachers = 44

n_2 = sample of students under certified teachers = 44

Also,  s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^{2} +(n_2-1)s_2^{2} }{n_1+n_2-2} } = \sqrt{\frac{(44-1)\times 9.43^{2} +(44-1)\times 9.31^{2} }{44+44-2} } = 9.37

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{(32.48-35.62)-(0)}{9.37 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{44} +\frac{1}{44} } }  ~ t_8_6

                                     =  -1.572

The value of t test statistics is -1.572.

Since, in the question we are not given the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. <u>Now, at 5% significance level the t table gives critical values of -1.665 at 86 degree of freedom for left-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic is more than the critical values of t as -1.572 > -1.665, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean scores with uncertified teachers is higher or equal as compared to certified teachers.

How do you dilate a figure on a coordinate plane if you want to make the shape larger? How would your steps change if you want t
Papessa [141]
If u want to make the shape larger, u will have to multiply it by the scale factor that is greater then 1.

if u want to make the shape smaller, then u will multiply by the scale factor that is between 0 and 1

if the scale factor is 1, then the shapes are congruent

A lock on a fence door has a 4 digit combination. Each digit can be any number
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

D. 9990 possible combinations

Step-by-step explanation:

The first digit has 10 choices (can be all of them), the second digit also has 10 choices. The third and fourth digits also have 10 choices.

Multiply them together you get 10*10*10*10 = 10000 possible combinations.

But since all 4 characters cannot be the same, we subtract 10 from 10000 (there are 10 combinations which the 4 characters are the same: 1111, 2222, 3333, 4444, 5555, 6666, 7777, 8888, 9999, and 0000) and we get 9990.
