STAT 3247 Exercise 6 Hypothesis Testing Concerning Two Samples Instruction: Answer the following questions based on the R outputs. Write the hypothesis, the test to use, decision rule, decision, and conclusion.
1. An educator wants to compare the performance of students who used a traditional
learning method versus those who used a new digital learning tool. The test scores of 10 students who used the traditional method are: 75, 80, 78, 82, 77, 74, 79, 81, 76, 80. The test scores of 10 students who used the digital tool are: 85, 88, 84, 86, 87, 85, 89, 86, 88, 87. Test if there is a significant difference in mean scores between the two groups using a two-sample t-test at a 5% significance level.
Hypotheses: Ho: μ1 = μ2 vs. Ha: μ1 ≠ μ2 (claim)
Test Statistic: Two Independent Samples t-test
Decision Rule: Reject Ho if p-value < α=0.05
Decision: Since 0.0000004895 < 0.05, we reject Ho.
Conclusion: At 0.05 level of significance, there is enough evidence to support the
claim that there is significant difference in mean scores between the traditional learning method and new digital learning tool.
2. A teacher wants to test if a review session before the second exam improves student performance. The pre-test and post-test scores for 9 students are: a. Pre-test: 60, 62, 58, 61, 59, 60, 63, 64, 65 b. Post-test: 68, 70, 67, 69, 66, 68, 72, 73, 71 Test if the review session significantly improved student performance using a paired t-test at a 5% significance level.
Hypotheses: Ho: μ1 = μ2 vs. Ha: μ1 ≠ μ2 (claim)
Test Statistic: Two Dependent Samples t-test
Decision Rule: Reject Ho if p-value < α=0.05
Decision: Since 0.000000009682 < 0.05, we reject Ho. Conclusion: At 0.05 level of significance, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the review session significantly improved the student performance in the second exam.
3. A school implemented a tutoring program and wants to assess its effectiveness. The test scores of 10 students who participated in the tutoring program are: 90, 85, 88, 87, 91, 89, 92, 88, 90, 87. The test scores of 10 students who did not participate are: 78, 80, 76, 79, 77, 75, 78, 80, 77, 76. Use the Wilcoxon rank-sum test to test if there is a significant difference in scores between the two groups at a 5% significance level.
Hypotheses: Ho: There is no significant difference in scores between the two groups. Ha: There is a significant difference in scores between the two groups. (claim)
Test Statistic: Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test
Decision Rule: Reject Ho if p-value < α=0.05
Decision: Since 0.0001756 < 0.05, we reject Ho.
Conclusion: At 0.05 level of significance, there is enough evidence to support the
claim that there is a significant difference in the scores between the two groups.
4. A researcher wants to compare student feedback ratings on two different teaching
methods used in a class. The ratings (on a scale of 1 to 10) for 8 students for Method A are: 8, 7, 9, 10, 6, 8, 9, 7. The ratings for Method B are: 6, 5, 7, 8, 4, 6, 7, 5. Determine if there is a significant difference in student feedback ratings between the two teaching methods.
Hypotheses: Ho: There is no significant difference in student feedback ratings between
the two teaching methods. Ha: There is a significant difference in student feedback ratings between the two teaching methods. (claim)
Test Statistic: Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test
Decision Rule: Reject Ho if p-value < α=0.05
Decision: Since 0.005962 < 0.05, we reject Ho.
Conclusion: At 0.05 level of significance, there is enough evidence to support the
claim that there is a significant difference in student feedback ratings between the two teaching methods.
