The comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker's parents are provided. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT. The overall mean SAT math score was 514. SAT math scores for independent samples of students follow. Two samples are contained in the Excel Online file below. The first sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree. The second sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree. Use the Excel Online spreadsheet below to answer the following questions.
College: 448 608 672 560 672 448 480 640 448 656 528 624 448 672 672 592
High School: 564 552 576 396 588 384 420 504 492 444 576 396
A. Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the sample data support the hypothesis that students show a higher population mean math score on the SAT if their parents attained a higher level of education.
B. What is the point estimate of the difference between the means for the two populations?
C. Compute the -value, degrees of freedom, and -value for the hypothesis test.
D. At , what is your conclusion?
