Coaching and sat scores. coaching companies claim that their courses can raise the sat scores of high school students. of course, students who retake the sat without paying for coaching generally raise their scores, too. a random sample of students who took the sat twice found 427 who were coached and 2733 who were uncoached.19 starting with their verbal scores on the first and second tries, we have these summary statistics: try 1 try 2 gain n ¯ x s ¯ x s ¯ x s coached 427 500 92 529 97 29 59 uncoached 2733 506 101 527 101 21 52 the summary statistics for gain are based on the changes in the scores of the individual students. let’s first ask if students who are coached increased their scores significantly. you could use the information on the coached line to carry out either a two-sample t test comparing try 1 with try 2 for coached students, or a matched pairs t test using gain. which is the correct test? why? carry out the proper test. what do you conclude? give a 99% confidence interval for the mean gain of all students who are coached.

Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?
