Determine if the samples are independent or related
1. The school principal wishes to determine if the grade 6 boys are better in mathematics than the grade 6 girls. A random sample of boys was selected. Then a random sample of girls was selected. All of the students in the two random samples were asked to take a standardized test in mathematics, and their scores were determined.
(adapted from Johnson, 1980) Each semester, there are seven sections of a particular biology
course, taught at various times by various instructors. The table below shows the number of
students who selected each of the seven sections in Fall 2016. Do the data suggest that
students have a preference for certain sections of the course? Perform a test of hypothesis
using a = 0.05. In answering, be sure to address each of the five steps in a test of hypothesis.
