1) A statistical analysis was conducted on test score data from 100 students. The analysis found that the mean exam score of the sample (71.8) was higher than the overall mean (70) at the 0.05 significance level, indicating the sample performed better. 2) Sales data for a newsboy over 14 days was analyzed. The mean sales of 38 was found to be lower than the expected mean of 45 at the 0.01 significance level, indicating his sales had gone lower. 3) Pre- and post-test scores of 20 students were analyzed and found a significant difference between the means at the 0.01 level, indicating the students learned significantly over the school year.

STATISTICAL BIOLOGY ACTIVITY 2

QuIz: SOLVe The fOLLOwInG (20 pOInTS eACh)


1. Past records showed that the average final examination grade
in Math III is 70 with a standard deviation of 8.0. A random
sample of 100 students was taken and found to have a mean
final exam grade of 71.8. Is this an indication that the sample
is better than the rest of the students? Test at 0.05 level of
significance.
Since 𝑛 = 100, and only one sample mean is given, then we
use the Z – test and the test statistic is:
𝑍=((𝑋 ̅−𝜇)√𝑛)/𝜎
Substituting 𝜇=70, 𝑋 ̅= 71.8, 𝑛=100 and 𝜎=8.00.
𝑍= ((71.8−70) √100)/8
𝒁=2.25

Ho: The sample is as good as the rest of the students.


Ha: The sample is better than the rest of the students.
Since, it is a one-tailed test Ztab = ± 1.65
As, 2.25 is > 1.65; Ho is rejected.
Conclusion: The sample is better than the rest of the students.

2. A newsboy can sell an average of 45 newspaper a day. For the


last 2 weeks (14 days), he sold an average of 38 newspaper
with a standard deviation of 14. Does this indicate that his
sales has gone lower? Test at 0.01 level of significance.
n= 14
μ= 45
σ= 14
x1= 38
Substituting values
Z= {(x1 - μ) √n}/ σ
= {(38-45) √14}/ 14
= -1.87

Ho: The newsboy sales are the same as before 2 weeks ago.
Ha : The newsboy sales have gone lower than 2 weeks ago.
Since it is a one-tailed test Ztab is ± 2.33
As, -1.87 > -2.33; Ho is rejected.
Conclusion: The newsboy sales have gone lower than 2
weeks ago.

3. 3. At the beginning of every school year, pre – test is given to


all students who will take Algebra to find out how much they
know regarding the subject. Then, at the end of the school
year, post-test is administered to the same students to find
out how much they have learned of the subject. A random
sample of 20 students were taken from last year’s batch and it
was found that they have the following test scores:

Is there a significant difference between the pre-test and the


post-test scores of these students? Use 𝛼=0.01

d = -16.55
sd = 9.48
df = 20-1 = 19
t = (d√n)/ sd
= (-16.55 √20) / 9.48
= -7.80
Ho : There is no significant difference between the pre-test and
the post-test score of these students.
Ha : There is a significant difference between the pre-test and
the post-test score of these students.
Since it is a two-tailed test and ttab is 1.341.
As, -7.80 is < 1.341, Ho is rejected.

Conclusion: there is a significance difference between the pre-


test and the post-test score of these students.

4. The following data represent the number of minutes that a


student stays inside the guidance counselor’s office on a
certain day.

A. Find the following statistics:


𝑛_1=____, 𝑥 ̅_1=_____, 𝑠_1=______
𝑛_2=____, 𝑥 ̅_2=_____, 𝑠_2=______

B. Test the hypothesis that the average counseling time of


Counselor B exceeds the average counseling time of
Counselor A at 𝛼=0.05

Counselor A (x) ( X- X1)^2


102 78.76
86 50.76
98 23.76
109 252.01
92 1.26
60 1097.26
78 228.76
120 722.26
X1 = 93.125 ∑=2454.83
S1 = √2454.83/ 8-1

= √350.69

= 18.72

Counselor B ( X- X2)^2
(x)
80 1080.76
165 2717.01
97 252.01
134 446.26
92 435.76
87 669.51
113 0.015
135 489.51
X1 = 112.875 ∑= 6090.83

S2 = √∑(x-x2) ^2 / n- 1
= √6090.83 / 7
= 29.49
