I just gave an exam to my 2 sections of MAT100. A frequency distribution summarizing grades of the 48 people in the population of those 2 sections is given below. Grade Frequency Use your TI to find the mean and standard deviation for class population (b) My class grade distribution MUST fit the 10% A, 20%B, 40% C, 20% D, 10% F rule that I Invented. Set up a hypothesis test to test my claimed grade distribution. Use a 5% significance level.
Solution
For finding mean and std deviation of frequency distribution, we can use midpoint for each interval.
Mean = 3760/48 = 78.33
E(X2) = 299200/48 = 6233.33
Var(x) = 97.74
Std dev=9.8864
--------------------------------
H0: Distribution is in the given proportion
Ha: Distribution is not in the given proportion
Two tailed chi square test
Prepare contingency table
p value = 0.3260
As p >0.05. accept null hypothesis
There is statistical evidence to prove that your claim is correct at 5% sign. level.
| Midpoint x | Frequency f | f*x | f*x^2 |
| 95 | 7 | 665 | 63175 |
| 85 | 11 | 935 | 79475 |
| 75 | 23 | 1725 | 129375 |
| 65 | 5 | 325 | 21125 |
| 55 | 2 | 110 | 6050 |
| Total | 48 | 3760 | 299200 |
