Question

A school district wants to find out why dropout rates were lower at some schools rather than others. What statistical approach would be most appropriate?A) A regression with dropout rates as the independent variableB) A regression with dropout rates as the dependent variableC) A hypothesis test with a null hypothesis that the dropout rate is more than the highest dropout rateD) A confidence interval with the expected dropout rate as the meanE) A hypothesis test with a null hypothesis that the dropout rate is less than or equal to the highest dropout rate

Answer 1

Answer:

E) A hypothesis test with a null hypothesis that the dropout rate is less than or equal to the highest dropout rate

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis test is the type of test that helped a scientist to determine the relationship between two variables-one constant independent variable and an dependent variable. For the dropout rates in the different schools, it would be better to use the hypothesis test for the evaluation.
