Confidence interval and Hypothesis test for one-sample mean

Problem Statement - In top 5 American universities, the mean GRE score of selected applicants is
316 with a population standard deviation of 12. The universities examine the average score every
year using a sample of 50 applicants to determine whether mean score for new admits has
increased.

Referring to sample in sheet "Sample for 5"

a.)
Hypothesi
s Given, mean GRE score of population, µ0 =316 316
Population standard deviation = 12 12
Let µ be the average GRE score of new admits
H0 : µ≤ 316
Hα : µ > 316

b.) Hypothesis test

x bar = 318 318
sample standard deviation = 11.5 11.5

Sample size, n 50
CI = x bar ± margin of error
α = 0.05 0.05
z 1.1785113
zα 1.6448536
p-value 0.1192964
Since this is a right tailed test, we reject H0 if z > zα
Since this is a right tailed test, we reject H0 if p-value< α
Here, z < zα, thus H0 is not rejected

c.) 95% confidence interval estimate of mean

x bar = 318 318
sample standard deviation = 11.5 11.5

Sample size, n 50
CI = x bar ± margin of error
α = 0.05 0.05
z 1.1785113
zα /2 1.959964

ME = zα /2 * σ/√n 3.3261692

Interval = [314.67383 , 321.3262]

Confidence interval and Hypothesis test for two sample variance

Problem Statement - The CGPA 26 of students studying in university ranked first in year 2020 has a
standard deviation of 0.451. The CGPA of 60 students in university ranked fifth has standard
deviation of 0.352. The objective is to test the equality of these variances to compare the
performance of students admitted in two different universities and assess if variance of CGPA can be
a distinguishing parameter in university ranking.

Referring to sample in sheet "Sample for 6"

a.) Hypothesis Given, sample standard deviation for university ranked 1, s1 0.451
Given, sample standard deviation for university ranked 1, s2 0.352
sample 1 size 26
sample 2 size 60
Level of significance,α 0.05

Let σ1 be the average CGPA score of university rank 1

students
Let σ2 be the average CGPA score of university rank 2
students

H0 : σ12 = σ22
Hα : σ12 ≠ σ22

Test statisc, F 1.641602

Fα/2 1.872924

Since F <= Fα/2

H0 is not rejected
Since the variances of CGPA do not differ significantly, this parameter
would not be used for ranking.

b.) Confidence 90% confidence interval for the variance of university
