A Statistics Course at a Large University Is Taught in Each

Question 72

Essay

A statistics course at a large university is taught in each semester. A student has noticed that the students in semester 1 and semester 2 are enrolled in different degrees. To investigate, the student takes a random sample of 25 students from semester 1 and 25 students from semester 2 and records their final marks (%) provided in the table below. Excel was used to generate descriptive statistics on each sample.
Assume that student final marks are normally distributed in each semester.  Sample of semester 1 fin al marks 69455376538959638977495759608396835992678264628871 Sample of semester 2 fin al marks 49409358794682547959455487776381609653699269606954\begin{array}{l}\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline { \text { Sample of semester } 1 \text { fin al marks } } \\\hline 69 & 45 & 53 & 76 & 53 \\\hline 89 & 59 & 63 & 89 & 77 \\\hline 49 & 57 & 59 & 60 & 83 \\\hline 96 & 83 & 59 & 92 & 67 \\\hline 82 & 64 & 62 & 88 & 71 \\\hline\end{array}&\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline { \text { Sample of semester } 2 \text { fin al marks } } \\\hline 49 & 40 & 93 & 58 & 79 \\\hline 46 & 82 & 54 & 79 & 59 \\\hline 45 & 54 & 87 & 77 & 63 \\\hline 81 & 60 & 96 & 53 & 69 \\\hline 92 & 69 & 60 & 69 & 54 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}  Semester 1 Mean 65.48 Stan dard Error 2.679 Median 63 Mode 55 Standard Deviation 13.395 Sample Variance 179.43 Range 43 Minimum 45 Maximum 88 Sum 1637 Count 25 Semester 2  Mean 60.96 Standard Error 2.5136 Median 59 Mode 54 Standard Deviation 12.568 Sample Variance 157.96 Range 47 Minimum 40 Maximum 87 Sum 1524 Count 25\begin{array}{l}\begin{array} { | l | c | } \hline { \text { Semester } 1 } \\\hline \text { Mean } & 65.48 \\\hline \text { Stan dard Error } & 2.679 \\\hline \text { Median } & 63 \\\hline \text { Mode } & 55 \\\hline \text { Standard Deviation } & 13.395 \\\hline \text { Sample Variance } & 179.43 \\\hline \text { Range } & 43 \\\hline \text { Minimum } & 45 \\\hline \text { Maximum } & 88 \\\hline \text { Sum } & 1637 \\\hline \text { Count } & 25 \\\hline\end{array}&\begin{array} { | l | c | } \hline { \text { Semester 2 } } \\\hline \text { Mean } & 60.96 \\\hline \text { Standard Error } & 2.5136 \\\hline \text { Median } & 59 \\\hline \text { Mode } & 54 \\\hline \text { Standard Deviation } & 12.568 \\\hline \text { Sample Variance } & 157.96 \\\hline \text { Range } & 47 \\\hline \text { Minimum } & 40 \\\hline \text { Maximum } & 87 \\\hline \text { Sum } & 1524 \\\hline \text { Count } & 25 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array} Can we conclude at the 5% significance level that the variance of semester 2 student's final marks is greater than 150?
