1. What is pooled variance and why is it important?
2. Explain what interval data is and give an example:
3. Write the formula for a problem that has 2 sample populations greater than 30 and the standard deviations are known and equal:
4. Write the formula for pooled variance.
5. Please analyze the following data using the T-test for Unpaired data:
A school district wants to determine if the girls are equal to boys in test scores. They took a random sample of 22 8th grade girls and 24 8th grade boys. The district looked at recent CAT scores and found the mean score for girls to be xbar1 = 25 and the mean score for boys to be xbar2 = 26. The standard deviation for the girls is s1 = 2.2 and for the boys the standard deviation is s2 = 3.4. Is the school district correct in assuming the girls are equal in performance to boys. They are 95% sure their assumption is correct.
