Question
Do men score lower on average compared to women on their statistics finals? Final exam scores...

Answers
we will use t test for two independent samples
Ho : µ1 - µ2 = 0 or µ1 =µ2
Ha : µ1-µ2 < 0 or µ1<µ2Sample #1 ----> 1
mean of sample 1, x̅1= 74.417
standard deviation of sample 1, s1 = 9.307
size of sample 1, n1= 12
Sample #2 ----> 2
mean of sample 2, x̅2= 83.083
standard deviation of sample 2, s2 = 9.376
size of sample 2, n2= 12b)
difference in sample means = x̅1-x̅2 = 74.4167 - 83.1 = -8.667
pooled std dev , Sp= √([(n1 - 1)s1² + (n2 - 1)s2²]/(n1+n2-2)) = 9.3416
std error , SE = Sp*√(1/n1+1/n2) = 3.8137
t-statistic = ((x̅1-x̅2)-µd)/SE = ( -8.6667 - 0 ) / 3.81 = -2.27c)
Degree of freedom, DF= n1+n2-2 = 22
p-value = 0.0166 [ excel function: =T.DIST(t stat,df) ]d)
p value is greater than α
e) should not reject
f) the result are not statiscally significant....,so there is not sufficient evidence...............
