Step 1 :We are given a sample of 24 students who failed a quiz, but eventually retook it. The scores on a first failed attempt are considered as population 1, and the scores on a subsequent retake after passing a practice quiz are considered as population 2. We want to determine if the data shows that students, on average, will score higher on their second attempt after having passed the practice quiz. The sample produced the following statistics: \(n=24\), \(\bar{d} \approx-11.12\), \(s_{d} \approx 14.322\).
Step 2 :We first calculate the t-statistic using the formula \(t = \frac{\bar{d}}{s_{d} / \sqrt{n}}\). Substituting the given values, we get \(t = \frac{-11.12}{14.322 / \sqrt{24}}\), which gives us a t-statistic of approximately -3.8037042228388405.
Step 3 :We then calculate the degrees of freedom using the formula \(df = n - 1\). Substituting the given value of n, we get \(df = 24 - 1 = 23\).
Step 4 :Next, we calculate the p-value. Since this is a two-tailed test, we multiply the result of the survival function by 2. Using the calculated t-statistic and degrees of freedom, we get a p-value of approximately 0.0009.
Step 5 :Finally, we round the p-value to 4 decimal places to get \(\boxed{0.0009}\). This is the P-Value for the test.
