I am performing a before and after evaluation on 30 students who have taken a keyboarding class. I want to see if the course improved their words per minute keyed.

Required:
a. State the Null and Alternate Hypothesis.
b. The statistic that I would use is:_________
c. What would my t critical be for this calculation at a 0.10 level of significance?
d. If my t calculated = 1.62, would I reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?

Answer:

a)

Hโ‚€ : ยตd = 0 ย 

Hโ‚ : ยตd < 0 ย 

b)

The test statistic is

tโ‚™โ‚‹โ‚ = ฮฑ / sโˆšn

c)

at 0.10 level of significance,

tโ‚™โ‚‹โ‚ , โ‚

tโ‚ƒโ‚€โ‚‹โ‚ , โ‚€.โ‚โ‚€ = tโ‚‚โ‚‰, โ‚€.โ‚โ‚€ = 1.311

d)

given that ย T(critical) = 1.62

โˆด T(critical) = 1.62 > tโ‚‚โ‚‰, โ‚€.โ‚โ‚€ = 1.311

at 10% level of significance,

REJECT Hโ‚€

Since 1.62 > 1.311, we can reject the null hypothesis.

good job
