Progress Check
Use this activity to assess whether you and your peers can:
- Explain the meaning of each relevant item from the StatCrunch output when testing a claim about a mean.
Directions

Three steps to complete the assignmentPrompt
- In a previous lab we tested the following hypotheses, : and : (where is the mean number of alcoholic drinks consumed by students at a liberal arts college).
In a random sample of 75 students, the mean was 3.93 alcoholic drinks consumed in a week. Here is the StatCrunch output from the hypothesis test.
: Mean of variable

Using this context and the StatCrunch output, explain the meaning of each of the following.Hypothesis test results Variable Sample Mean Std. Err. DF T-Stat P-value number of drinks per week 3.9333333 0.43592434 74 -1.8275343 0.0717 - Std. Err (standard error)

- In a previous matched pairs lab we tested the following hypotheses, where is the mean of the differences in corn yield for a plot of land (regular seed minus kiln-dried ): H0 : µ = 0 and Ha : µ < 0. In a random sample of 11 seeds of each type, the mean of the differences in the sample was -33.7. Here is a StatCrunch print-out of the hypothesis test.
Paired T hypothesis test:
: Mean of the difference between Regular seed and Kiln-dried seed
