An аutоmоtive reseаrcher wаnted tо estimate the difference required to come to a complete stop while traveling 40 miles per hour on wet versus dry pavement. Because car type plays a role, the researcher used eight different cars with the same driver and tires. The braking distance (in feet) on both wet and dry pavement is shown in the table below. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test to determine if the braking distance on the wet surface is longer from the braking distance on the dry surface. Use a 0.05 level of significance. Note: a normal probability plot of the data indicate that the differences are approximately normally distributed with no outliers. This is a matched pairs problem.

Pаss rаtes fоr Intermediаte Algebra at a cоmmunity cоllege are 53.6%. In an effort to improve the course, faculty of a community college develop a mastery-based learning model where course content is delivered is through a computer program. The instructor serves as a learning mentor for the students in the course. Of the 480 students who enrolled on the mastery-based course, 275 did pass. At the 0.05 level of significance, decide whether the sample evidence suggests that the mastery-based learning model improved pass rates. a. What is your hypotheses (see above choices) b. What is your test statistic? c. What is your p-value or critical values and what is your conclusion? Briefly explain as in, I reject Ho because..... or I do not reject Ho because..... d. Write a conclusion sentence in the context of the problem. e. What type of error could you have made? Briefly explain.
