The Educational Testing Service conducted a study to investigate difference between the
scores of male and female students on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The study identified a
random sample of 562 female and 852 male students, who had achieved the same high
score in the mathematics portion of the test. That is, female and male students were viewed
as having similarly high abilities in mathematics. The verbal scores for the two samples are
as given
Female students, x1 = 557 and s1 = 83
Male students, x1 = 545 and s2 = 78
Do the data support the conclusion that given a population of famous students and a
population of male students with similarly high mathematician abilities the famous students
will have a significantly higher verbal ability? Test at a 5% level of significance. What is your
conclusion?
