The comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker's parents are provided. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT. The overall mean SAT math score was 514. SAT math scores for independent samples of students follow. Two samples are contained in the Excel Online file below. The first sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree. The second sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree. Student’s Parents

a. Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the sample data support the hypothesis that students show a higher population mean math score on the SAT if their parents attained a higher level of education. population mean math score parents college grads. population mean math score parents high school grads.
b. What is the point estimate of the difference between the means for the two populations?
c. Compute the p-value for the hypothesis test.
d. At αα= .05, what is your conclusion?

H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted that the students show a higher population mean math score on the SAT if their parents attained a higher level of education.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a:

The null and alternate hypothesis can be formulated as

H0 : u1 ≤ u2 the two means ( of students whose parents did or did not attain a higher level of education) are equal .

against the claim

Ha: u1 > u2 the students show a higher population mean math score on the SAT if their parents attained a higher level of education.

Part b:

The point estimate of the difference between the means for the two populations is the difference of sample means

Using statistic calculator Using formula :  σ(n-1)

s2= 51.7476

x1`- x2`= 525- 487= 38

The test statistic is

t= (x1`- x2`) / √ s1²/n1+ s2²/n2

t= 38/ √(59.4205)²/16 + (51.7476)²/12

t=38 / √3530.7958/16 + 2677.8141/12

t= 1.804

and the degrees of freedom is

υ = [s₁²/n1 + s₂²/n2]²/ (s₁²/n1 )²/ n1-1 + (s₂²/n2)²/n2-1

= [3530.7958/16 + (2677.8141/12) ]²/ (3530.7958/16)²/15 +(2677.8141/12)²/11

≈ 25

The degrees of freedom is always rounded in this calculation

From the table t∝ = 1.708

Hence critical value is t ≥ t∝

Reject H0:

Part C.

The p-value is 0.041647.

The result is less than  0.05.

Result:

H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted that the students show a higher population mean math score on the SAT if their parents attained a higher level of education.
