Question 1
1.1. Write an appropriate research hypothesis (directional), in words.
Students who attend extra tutorial sessions will have higher average exam scores than students who
do not attend extra tutorial sessions.
1.2. Convert to formal statistical hypotheses (H₀ and H₁) using population symbols.
μ1μ1 = population mean exam score for students with extra tutorials
μ2μ2 = population mean exam score for students without extra tutorials
H0 : μ1 ≤ μ2
H1 : μ1 > μ2
(One-tailed, directional test)
1.3. Calculate descriptive statistics for Extra tutorial and No Extra tutorials (sample size, mean,
standard deviation).
, Let's compute:
