1.

The average systolic pressure of a group of 36 male students of approximately the same ages is
127.5 If the mean systolic pressure of the population of males of approximately the same ages is
126.5 with a standard deviation of 5, would you say that the 36 male students have a higher
systolic pressure than 126.5? Show the different steps from hypothesis testing to conclusion. (15

Two groups of students with 50 members each, were taught with different methods. Group 1
was taught by method A while Group 2 was taught by method B. The mean scores for Group 1
was 77 while for Group 2 was 85. The standard deviation is 10 for both groups. Can the
difference in the mean score significant? Show the different steps from hypothesis testing to
conclusion. (25 points)

than t table value

Since 9.83 is greater than 0.514; we can reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is
a relationship between Alcohol consumption and death rate from cirrhosis, and has direct
or positive relationship; thus an increase in alcohol consumption will also increase death
rate from cirrhosis.
