1.

A student wants to check whether there is a difference in the midterm exam scores of the
students in two classes of Biostatistics. The scores of 25 randomly selected students from each
class are distributed in the tables below. Assume that the data is normal, test the student’s
hypothesis. (α = 0.1)

Monday class Tuesday class

45 90 76 34 42 38 78 77 86 82
66 53 49 34 42 45 61 32 53 57
52 46 53 72 65 37 43 59 48 51
69 73 75 70 43 58 74 32 52 33
70 55 47 31 63 39 60 60 39 51

2. The table below listed the average score of 20 students who repeated the Biostatistics course.
With α = 0.05 and the assumption that the data is normal, conduct a test to see whether the
score of the students improved.
