1. An instructor administered a skills test to students before and after a college algebra course to measure improvement. Test scores from 9 students are provided.
2. Data on treatment values for 12 students are given. The question is whether there is a difference between the median values for the two treatments.
3. Sample data is provided on starting salaries for male and female physician assistants. The researcher claims male salaries are higher and the task is to determine if the sample supports this claim at the 1% significance level.

1. An instructor wanted to measure the basic skills of his students before and after his college algebra course. A skills test was administered at the beginning and at the end of the semester, and the scores were recorded. Test a 5 percent level of significance if the college algebra course improved the basic math skills of the students. Assume normality Student 1 before after 1 61 68 2 58 62 3 79 83 4 69 65 5 62 62 6 71 74 7 25 31 8 48 52 9 53 51

A researcher claims that the starting salary for male physician assistants is more that for female physician assistants. Use the data below. Is there enough sample evidence to support the researcher’s claim? Assume normality and test at 1 percent level of significance.

4. Consider a Phase II clinical trial designed to investigate the effectiveness of a new
drug to reduce symptoms of asthma in children. A total of 10 participants are randomized to receive either the new drug or a placebo. Participants are asked to record the number of episodes of shortness of breath over a 1 week period following receipt of the assigned treatment. The data are shown below.
