Practice For an SAT test = 500 = 100
What is the probability that a sample of 65 people will have a mean SAT score below 525?
3
Step 1: Sketch out question
4
Step 2: Calculate the Standard Error
100 / 65 = 12.40
5
Step 3: Calculate the Z score
( ) / = 2.02
6
Step 4: Look up Z score in Table
Z = 2.02; Column B =.4783 .50 .4783
7
Practice There is a probability that a sample of 65 people would have a mean SAT under 525
8
Practice In a large corporation, the mean salary for all males with 3 to 5 years of experience was $28,000. Salaries (expressed in thousands) for a random sample of 10 women also having 3 to 5 years of experience were: 24, 27, 31, 21, 19, 26, 30, 22, 15, 36 Construct the 95% confidence interval for women and interpret what this means relative to the mean salary of males.
9
Practice M = 25.1 SE = 1.97 t(9) = 2.262 20.64 to 29.56 20,640 to 29,560
10
Practice Old book New book – 8.29
12
Practice SE = 1.0 t = 2.064 T1 = 5.936 to 10.064 T2 = 3.936 to 8.064
14
Practice On the next test I will give an A to the top 5 percent of this class. The average test grade is with a SD of 6.98. How many points on the test did you need to get to get an A?
15
Step 1: Sketch out question
.05
16
Step 2: Look in Table C In column C get as close to .05 as you can and find the corresponding Z score = 1.64 .05
17
Step 3: Find the X score that goes with the Z score
Must solve for X X = + (z)() 68.26 = (1.64)(6.98)
18
Step 3: Find the X score that goes with the Z score
Must solve for X X = + (z)() 68.26 = (1.64)(6.98) Thus, a you need a score of to get an A
19
Practice 6.22
20
Practice X = Stanford-Binet Y = WAIS b = .80 (15 / 16) = .75
Y = 25 + (.75)X 73.75 = 25 + (.75)65 It’s a bad idea to use the same cut off score for these two tests
21
Practice 6.5
22
Practice Page 96 # 5.5 r = .51
23
Practice Old book and 8.13 New book – 8.11 and 8.12
24
N 1 2 4 8 .5 16 .25 64 .125 As N (sample size) increases the standard error decreases!

NO CLASS ON FRIDAY 10/7
