Suppose in a sample of 64 students the average grade in the statistics exam was 50, the
standard deviation was 16. After a couple of tutoring sessions, the instructor believes the
students’ true exam mean should be about 54. However he doubts that results, hence he
wants to conduct a statistical test to see if the true mean is different than 54: (Q4-Q6)
4. What is the correct H0 and HA of the problem above?
a. H0: μ=54 , HA: μ<54
b. H0 : μ =54 , HA: μ≠54
c. H0 : μ≠54 , HA: μ<54
d. H0: μ≠54 , HA: μ>54
5. The test statistic of the test above is:
a. -4
b. -3
c. -2
d. -1
Below are the data on MPG for automatic and manual cars, and we are trying to test if the
MPG Manual is higher than MPG automatic: (Q7-Q13)

11. What is the t-critical value associated with this test at α=1%:
a. t-critical = 2.479
b. t-critical =2.485
c. t-critical = 2.787
d. t-critical = 2.779
13. Does the p-value and t-critical approach give the same result of the test:
a. Yes, because theoretically they should give the same answer
b. No, because of small sample bias
c. Yes, because t-critical is equal to p-value
d. No, because of non-independent observations
𝑋−𝜇
14. Consider the transformation, 𝑦 = . Then the expected value and standard deviation of
𝜎
y are:
𝜇
a. 𝜎 and σ
b. Cannot be computed because Y is not a linear function of X
c. 1 and 1
d. 0 and 1
