Weinstein, McDermott, and Roediger report that students who were givne questions to be answered while studying new material had

better scores when tested on the material compared to students who were simply given an opportunity to reread the material. In a similiar study, an instructor in a large psychology class gave one group of students questions to be answered while studying for the final exam. The overall average for the exam was mean = 73.4, but the n = 16 students who answered questions had a mean of M =78.3 with a standard deviation of s=8.4. For this study, did answering questions while studying produce significantly higher exam scores? Use a one tailed test with alpha = .01.

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let \mu be the population mean.

By considering the given information , we have

Null hypothesis : H_0: \mu=73.4

Alternative hypothesis :  H_a: \mu>73.4

Since alternative hypothesis is right-tailed , so the test is a right-tailed test.

Given : Sample size : n=16 , which is a small sample , so we use t-test.

Sample mean: \overline{x}=78.3  ;

Standard deviation: s=8.4

Test statistic for population mean:

t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

i.e. t=\dfrac{78.3-73.4}{\dfrac{8.4}{\sqrt{16}}}\approx2.333

Using the standard normal distribution table of t , we have

Critical value for \alpha=0.01 : t_{(n-1,\alpha)}=t_{(15,0.01)}=2.602

Since , the absolute value of t (2.333) is smaller than the critical value of t (2.602) , it means we do not have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Hence, we conclude that we do not have enough evidence to support the claim that answering questions while studying produce significantly higher exam scores.

A notebook costs $4.50 plus sales tax.after sales tax,the notebook is $4.86 what is the sales tax rate
Yakvenalex [24]
The sales tax rate would be 8%.

To find how much you spent on tax in the total, you'd begin by subtracting the pre-tax notebook from the after tax notebook.

4.86 - 4.50 = 0.36

So now we know that you spent 36 cents on tax. From there, we'd divide our money spent on tax by our pre-tax total. 

0.36 ÷ 4.50 = 0.08

This means that the sales tax is 8%. 

Hope I could help!
