H0 = There is no significant difference in the means of Quiz 1 and Quiz 10
H1 = There is a significant difference in the means of Quiz 1 and Quiz 10
Using the paired t - test statistics we get the following results from the Minitab:
99% CI for mean difference: (-20.94, 18.74)
T-Test of mean difference = 0 (vs. not = 0)
T-Value = -0.18 P-Value = 0.861
The major assumption that has been made in this hypothesis is that the means of the quizzes have not been taken equal. The level of significance used in the hypothesis testing is 0.01 i.e. our hypothesis will be rejected if it is even less than 99% in the acceptance region. The t - value of the paired t - statistics is found to be -0.18 which is less the tabulated values and also the level of significance i.e. p - value is greater than 0.01 which shows that we cannot reject our null hypothesis i.e. there is no significant difference in the means of Quiz 1 and Quiz 10.
Question 3
Finding the unknowns through statistical formulas:
R - square = SSM / SST = 10490 / 19996
R - square = 0.524
Correlation coefficient (r) = = 0.724
Finding the slope coefficient = r Sx/Sy = 0.724(3.140/14.36) = 0.158
Now, Y = + X
29.57 = + 0.158 (4.357)
= 28.87
The model can be written as:
Hours Spent on Social Media = 28.87 + 0.158 (Preparedness)
The coefficient of the regression equation shows that preparedness explains 15.8% of the data i.e. if a person is fully prepared for the exams i.e. 0 level preparedness then he will be giving 28.87 hours to social media. Similarly if the person is not prepared for exams i.e. 10 level preparedness than he will be giving 30.45 hours. The equation shows that there is a very dependency of preparedness and spending hours in social ...
