In this Task you will investigate four questions about students SAT scores at one high school. 1.
Question:
1. What is the mean SAT-Math score at this high school?
2. How do these students SAT Math scores stack up against the rest of the state?
3. Is there a significant difference between Verbal and Math scores for these students?
4. Nationally males tend to have higher Math scores than females. Is that true at this high school, too?
o Draw a sample of these students, carefully explaining your procedure.
o Use your sample to create a 95% confidence interval for the mean SAT-I Math score at this high school.
o Based on your confidence interval, compare the performance of these students with the statewide mean Math score of 503.
o Determine whether your sample provides statistical evidence that Verbal and Math scores differ for students at this high school.
o Determine whether your sample provides statistical evidence that males have higher Math scores than females at this school.
o Prepare a written report that includes complete demonstrations of the statistical procedures you use and your conclusions (in context, of course).
