Tlie test required fbr this problem is a two sample difference of means I test since the

Conclusion: At the 0.05 level of significance there is sufficient evidertce to
conclude that test scores of students using manipulatives are higher than those of
students not using manipulatil'es.
Note: a student using the TI-83 calculator's 2-sample t-test function u'ill obtain
p-value of 0.031 with 18 degress of freedom using the pooled option, or a
p-value of 0.033 rvith 15.085 degrees of freedom using the unpooled option.
a
Because there was no random assignment of students to the two groups, this is an
observational study and caution must be applied in reaching a conclusion. There seems to
be an association between higher scores and use of manipulatives but higher scores may be
due to other underiying conditions that have not been controlled.

Question Four
The test required for this question is the chi-square test for Independence. We are
looking for statistical evidence that proportion of subjects with low, average and elevated
cholesteroi levels differs for walker and non-walkers.
The assumptions for this test are that all expected counts are at least 5 and that the data
are from a simple random sample. The first condition will be shown to be satisfied when the
calculations are complete. The second condition is not clearly satisfied in the description of
the experiment. W'ere subjects randomly selected to be walkers and not walkers or was the
experiment more likely an observational study? We will proceed as if this condition was
satisfied.

The probability of having at ieast T5ohtype B or O donors is greater for blood
bank A than for biood bank B.
This also stands to reason since there are f-ewer donors at Blood Bank A and the
Law of Large Numbers implies that the larger sample (Blood Bank B) is more
likely to have a sample proportion that is closer to the true population proportion
of 6A9'o. The higher variability in Blood Bank A's distribution is caused by the
smaller sample size. With the higher variability', the chances of obtaining a
sample percentage of 75o/, or more are higher for Blood Bank A.
