    The document contains two exercises on conducting t-tests. The first asks the reader to test if the average age of minors committing crimes has gotten younger using sample data. The second gives pre-test and post-test scores for male and female students and asks the reader to test if male students performed better on both tests and if the lecture significantly improved knowledge for both groups.

    Exercise 2

    t-test

    1. In 2010, the average age of minors who committed crimes in the Province of Albay was 15.78
    years old. A study conducted last January 2022 on crimes committed revealed the following
    ages on minors involved. Is there a reason to believe that minors involved in crime nowadays
    are getting younger. Assume the population to be normal and use .01 level of significance to
    test the hypothesis

    15 15
    16 13
    14 14
    13 14

    2. Before the professor in Statistics started his lecture on t-test, he gave a pre-test to assess the
    knowledge of his students on the said topic. After the lecture, he then gave the post-test. The
    following data represents the pre-test and post test scores of the students. Assume the
    populations to be approximately normal with equal variances.

    Pre-test Post test


    Male Female Male Female
    28 25 29 27
    34 34 35 35
    33 23 34 25
    26 26 34 28
    27 28 29 29
    31 31 31 32
    36 20 38 35
    32 33 33 34
    22 25 33 26
    26 34 31 33
    26 23 25 26
    27 29

    At .05 level of significance, test the hypothesis that:

    a. Males performed better than females in the pre-test and in the post-test in Statistics
    b. The lecture significantly improved the knowledge of male and of female students about
    t-test
