    This document summarizes the process for testing two hypotheses using paired sample t-tests on education data from Ohio. It tests whether the mean difference between writing and reading scores is zero and whether the mean difference between math and science scores is zero. For both hypotheses, it finds that the mean difference is not equal to zero based on a statistically significant t value, meaning the null hypothesis is rejected. The mean writing score is higher than the mean reading score, and the mean science score is higher than the mean math score.

    Exercise 25: Page 256: Using the data in the Excel file Ohio Education Performance, test the

    hypotheses
    that the mean difference in writing and reading scores is zero and that the mean difference in math and
    science scores is zero. Use the paired-sample procedure.

    Writing and Reading scores


    Step 1: Establish hypothesis

    H0: x̅ writing scores - x̅ reading scores = 0 or H0: the mean difference in writing and reading scores is
    zero.

    H1: x̅ writing scores - x̅ reading scores # 0 or H1: the mean difference in writing and reading scores is not
    zero.

    Step 2: Methodology: Paired Two-Sample Test for Means

    Step 3: Descriptive Statistic Report

    Paired Samples Statistics


    Mean N Std. Deviation Std. Error Mean
    Pair 1 Writing 84.94 31 9.986 1.794
    Reading 81.29 31 10.396 1.867
    Pair 2 Science 71.71 31 13.120 2.357
    Math 64.19 31 15.083 2.709

    Step 4: Paried Samples Correlations Report

    Paired Samples Correlations


    N Correlation Sig.
    Pair 1 Writing & Reading 31 .801 .000
    Pair 2 Science & Math 31 .935 .000

    Pair 1: Writing and Reading scores:

    The two variables Writing and Reading scores have a positive relationship (0.801) and the correaltion is
    significant with p <=0.01. The connection between the two variables is strong 0.8001, which means
    Writing and Reading scores move in the same direction. The higher the writing score is, the higher the
    reading score and vice versa.

    Step 5: Conclusion
     T = 3.150
     P < 0.05 (0.04)
     Reject H0, accept H1
     The difference between the mean of writing scores and the mean reading score does not euqal
    to zero. The mean of writing score is larger than the mean of reading score.

    Math and Science scores


    Step 1: Establish hypothesis:

    H0: x̅ math scores - x̅ science scores = 0 or H0: the mean difference in math and reading science is zero.

    H1: x̅ math scores - x̅ science scores # 0 or H1: the mean difference in math and science scores is not
    zero.

    Step 2: Methodology: Paired Two-Sample Test for Means

    Step 3: Descriptive Statistic Report

    Paired Samples Statistics


    Mean N Std. Deviation Std. Error Mean
    Pair 1 Writing 84.94 31 9.986 1.794

    Pair 2 Science 71.71 31 13.120 2.357
    Math 64.19 31 15.083 2.709

    Step 4: Paried Samples Correlations Report

    Paired Samples Correlations


    N Correlation Sig.
    Pair 1 Writing & Reading 31 .801 .000
    Pair 2 Science & Math 31 .935 .000

    Pair 2: Science and Math scores:

    The two variables Writing and Reading scores have a positive relationship (0.935) and the correaltion is
    significant with p <=0.01. The connection between the two variables is extremly strong 0.935, which
    means Science and Math scores move in the same direction. The higher the science score is, the higher
    the math score and vice versa.

    Step 5: Conclusion

     T = 7.710
     P < 0.01
     Reject H0, accept H1
     The difference between the mean of science scores and the mean math score is not euqal to
    zero. The mean of science score is larger than the mean of math score.
