In order to determine whether or not a driver's education course improves the scores on a driving exam, a sample of 6 students were given the exam before and after taking the course. The results are shown below.
Let d = Score After - Score Before.

Score Score
Student Before the Course After the Course
1 83 87
2 89 88
3 93 91
4 77 77 5 86 93
6 79 83

a. Compute the test statistic.
b. At 95% confidence using the p-value approach, test to see if taking the course actually increased scores on the driving exam.

a)

b)

The significance level would be

So the p value is higher than the significance level given 0.05, so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis that the mean after minus the mean before is lower or equal than 0.

So we don't have enoug evidence to conclude that the course actually increased scores on the driving exam

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A paired t-test is used to compare two population means where you have two samples in  which observations in one sample can be paired with observations in the other sample. For example  if we have Before-and-after observations (This problem) we can use it.  

Let put some notation :

x=test value before , y = test value after

x: 83 89 93 77 86 79

y: 87 88 91 77 93 83

Part a

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis:

Alternative hypothesis:

The first step is calculate the difference and we obtain this:

d: 4, -1, -2, 0, 7, 4

The second step is calculate the mean difference  

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:

The 4 step is calculate the statistic given by :

Part b

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a left tailed test the p value is given by:

The significance level would be

So the p value is higher than the significance level given 0.05, so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis that the mean after minus the mean before is lower or equal than 0.

So we don't have enoug evidence to conclude that the course actually increased scores on the driving exam

the first 5 right here the next 5 i will upload as separate question

a net is a diagram that shows a “flattened” view of a solid. in a net, each face and base is shown with all of its dimensions. a net can also serve as a pattern to build a three-dimensional solid.

a pyramid is a three-dimensional object with a base that is a polygon and triangular faces that meet at one vertex.

" the net of a triangular pyramid consists of four triangles. the base here we are given of the pyramid is a equilateral   triangle, and the lateral faces are also triangles "
