Question: In 2015 the mean reading proficiency rating for 8th grade students in Southwest Michigan was 26 . Officials at the state level want to know whether the proficiency ratings have changed since 2015 .
- What hypotheses should be tested?
- If collected data finds \(\bar{x}=28.2\) and researchers know the proficiency ratings have \(\sigma=11.5\), should the test be done with the 1-Sample Z or 1-Sample t? Why?
- Officials conducted their test using \(\alpha=0.025\), and the p-value reported by Minitab was $0.012$. What should they decide about the hypotheses? What does this let them conclude?
