PART I: EXERCISES

PAIRED T-TEST

1. Ten recruits participated in a rifle shooting competition at the end of their first day at training camp.
The same ten competed again at the end of a full week training and practice. Their results are
shown in the following table.

RECRUIT

TIME OF 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

FIRST DAY 42 49 44 40 48 49 41 53 38 44

ONE WEEK 65 58 68 88 68 62 48 62 46 55
LATER

Does this set of ten pairs of data show that there was a significant amount of improvement in the
recruits shooting abilities during the week? Use α =0.05

2. All students who enrol in a certain memory course are given a pretest before the course begins. A
random sample of ten students who finished the course were given a posttest and their scores are
listed below.

Student 1 2 3 4 5 6 6 8 9 10
Before 65 56 52 55 65 65 46 64 62 34
After 77 72 70 72 74 74 52 63 61 66

Test for the main improvement in memory resulting from taking the memory course, as measured
by the difference in the scores (d= after – before). Verify the results shown on the output by
calculating the values yourself.

3. A company wants to determine if a prevention campaign will decrease the amount of time that
employees are unavailable for work due to illness. For a group of 10 employees their sick days in
one year is measure before and after the campaign. The measurements are reported in the
following table:

Before: 16 15 9 8 14 16 14 11 8 16

After: 11 10 4 2 10 11 12 14 3 11

Test if the campaign has made a significant difference in absenteeism due to illness (ALPHA
=0:05)
PART II:

GIVEN THE TABLE BELOW, THE DATA PRESENTS THE RESULTS OF STUDENTS MOTIVATION BEFORE
AND AFTER THE INTERVENTION GIVEN BY THE TEACHER. A CLASS CONSISTS OF 62 STUDENTS.

GENERATE 20 RANDOM SAMPLES (WITHOUT REPITITION) USING THE RANDOMIZATION PROCEDURE IN EXCEL
( =RANDBETWEEN(A,B))

• TABULATE YOUR 20 RANDOM SAMPLES.

• USE YOUR 20 GENERATED RANDOM SAMPLES, IS THERE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE ON THE

MOTIVATION OF STUDENTS BEFORE AND AFTER THE INTERVENTION GIVEN BY THE TEACHER?

• PERFORM THE SUGGESTED 6 STEPS HYPOTHESIS TEST:

NOTE: JUST PRESENT THE SUMMARY TABLE AS SUGGESTED AND BE SURE TO ATTACH OR APPEND THE OUTPUTS
OF YOUR ANALYSIS AFTER THE HYPOTHESIS TEST. Submit in pdf format.
