1. a. Perform an appropriate hypothesis test your question using a=.10. Show all important values you use as part of your test, including the null hypothesis, alternate hypothesis, test statistic value, and either the rejection region and critical value or p-value depending on the method you choose to use. State the result of your test in a complete sentence in context of the question.

2. Create a 90% confidence interval for the appropriate statistic to answer your question. Show all important values you used in the creation of this interval. Write your final interval in a complete sentence in context of your question. Using this confidence interval, what would you conclude about the answer to your posed question? Support this conclusion?

3. Does this result change when you compare female VA college students with male VA college students? Use our data file to answer this question:
   1. Find the mean and standard deviations for male and female students (you may use excel to calculate these values)
   2. Create confidence intervals for both male and female students.
   3. Using the two intervals,
      1. How would you answer your posed question for VA college males?
      2. How would you answer your posed question for VA college females?
      3. Are VA college males and females statistically equal, or different?

Support your answers for the above three questions

4. Conduct a test to determine if VA college males are statistically the same as VA college females (using your chosen variable). Test using a=.10

4. Write a short discussion answering your posed question for VA college students, and comparing VA college males to VA college females. Use the results of your calculations to support your conclusions.
