Exercise 04APR2023 QEM 1004-1
1.) Test the hypothesis that the average SAT math scores from students in Toronto and
Montreal are different. A sample of 45 students from Toronto had an average score of 552,
whereas a sample of 38 Montreal students had an average score of 530. Assume the population
standard deviations for Toronto and Montreal are 105 and 114 respectively. Test at the α =
0.05 level. What is the p-value for these samples?
n1=45 n2=38
x̄1=552 x̄2=530
σ1=105 σ2=114
α = 0.05
H0: µ1 = µ2
Ha: µ1 ≠µ2
p-value obtained is > 0.05, therefore, null hypothesis will not be rejected.
Therefore, there is no sufficient evidence on the difference between average SAT math scores
from students in Toronto and Montreal since p-value obtained is greater than α.
