Two tailed test for composition course effect

Reference no: EM1321527

Q1) State college is estimating new English composition course for freshmen. Random sample of n = 25 freshmen is obtained and students are placed in course during their first semester. One year later, writing sample is obtained for each student and writing samples are graded using standardized evaluation technique. Average score for sample is M = 76. For general population of college students writing scores from normal distribution with mean of m = 70.

a) If writing scores for population have standard deviation of s = 20, does sample give sufficient evidence to conclude that new composition course has significant effect? Suppose a two tailed test with a = 0.05.

b) If population standard deviation is s = 10, is sample enough to show a significant effect? Again suppose a two tailed test with a = 0.05.

c) Briefly describe why you reached different conclusions for part (a) and part (b).
