II. Read each scenario. For each number, indicate the following by completing the table:
a) X: variable being measured
b) parameter being tested
c) null hypothesis in words and symbols
d) alternative hypothesis in words and symbols
1. A healthcare provider saw that the mean number of English Teachers who received their
flu shot in a recent year is 5300. The healthcare provider tried a new advertising
strategy in the following year to test if the mean number of English Teachers who
received their flu shot had increased.
2. Many people believe that the average number of Facebook friends is 130. The
population standard deviation is 38.2. A random sample of 50 high school students in a
particular city revealed that the average number of Facebook friends was 162. A certain
teacher-researcher is concerned that the mean number of friends is greater than 130.
3. The average local cell phone call length was reported to be 2.27 minutes. A random
sample of 20 phone calls showed an average of 2.98 minutes in length with a standard
deviation of 0.98 minute. At a 0.05, can it be concluded that the average differs from
the population average?

III. INDICATE THE FOLLOWING:
A) STATEMENT OF THE HYPOTHESES
Ho: There is no significant difference in the Language test scores between students who
wanted to go to English stream and those who do not want to pursue English stream.
Ha: There is a significant difference in the Language test scores between students who
wanted to go to English stream and those who do not want to pursue English stream.

B) INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT VARIABLES

Independent V: students who wanted to go to English stream, students who do not
want to pursue English stream
Dependent V: Language test scores

C) STATISTICAL TEST USED AND BRIEFLY EXPLAIN/JUSTIFY WHY THIS WAS USED
T-test is used to determine if the difference in Language test scores between students
who wanted to go to English stream and those who do not want to pursue English stream is
significant.

D) CONCLUSION

Reject Ho.
Since P-value<0.05, there is a no significant difference in the Language test scores
between students who wanted to go to English stream and those who do not want to pursue
English stream.

A psychometrician wants to determine if there is a significant difference in the Language test

scores between students who wanted to go to English stream and those who do not want to
pursue English stream. Results are shown below. Level of significance is at .05.
