Exercise 3

The document analyzes final exam scores for 147 students and compares the mean score of 80.78 to a hypothesized value of 85. A one-sample t-test shows the p-value is less than 0.05, so the null hypothesis that the mean is 85 is rejected, meaning the actual mean score is significantly less than 85.

One-Sample Statistics

Final Exam 147 80.78 10.221 0.843

The above table shows that the mean final exam scores of the students is 80.78±10.22.

I. State the null (Ho) & (Ha)

Ho: the mean final exam scores is 85. (µ = 85)

Ha: the mean final exam scores is not 85. (µ ≠ 85)

II. Specify the level of significance. α = 0.05


III. P-value (sig) = 0.000. The p-value is less than 0.05, therefore, the null hypothesis
(Ho) is rejected.
Conclusion:

There is a significant difference between the hypothesized value and actual value.

This implies that the mean final exam scores is not 85. In fact, it is 81 or less than 85.
