The Stanford-Binet IQ test is nationally normed with a mean of100 and a standard deviation of 15. A principal in an elementaryschool believes that her students have above-average intelligenceand wants verification of her belief. She randomly selects 20students and checks the student files. You will use a z-test todetermine whether the students in this school have above-averageintelligence and will summarize your findings in a report.
IQ scores for 20 students are found in the Excelspreadsheet.
n | 20 |
Hypothesized Mean | 100 |
Actual Data Mean | 106.85 |
z Test Statistic | 2.042 |
Standard deviation | 19.88 |
p value for two-sided | 0.0411 |
p value for a right-sided | 0.0206 |
p value for a left-sided | 0.9794 |
Using the results above and the data in the Excel spreadsheet,write a complete hypothesis test report,using the ? = .05significance level. To determine the proper p-value for this test,refer to the summary of the case.
Note how you are being provided all three p-values (two-sided,right one-sided, left-one sided). Once you determine the Ho and Ha,you will be able to determine which p-value is appropriate for thetest.
You must develop the case study by including all 7 steps ofhypothesis testing. I expect complete sentences and not onlyresults (assumptions, hypothesis, sample statistic values, the teststatistic, the p-value, conclusions in the context of theproblem).
You are also required to include a graphical display of the dataabove in a bell curve shaped graph labeled properly. The case willbe graded based on choosing the correct Ho and Ha testing andcomplete answers.
