Identical Twins: Reading Skills To compare two elementary schools regarding teaching of reading skills, 12 sets of identical twins were used. In each case, one child was selected at random and sent to school A, and his or her twin was sent to school B.

Near the end of fifth grade, an achievement test was given to each child. The results follow:

Twin Pair 1 2 3 4 5 6 School A 177 150 112 95 120 117 School B 86 135 115 110 116 84 Twin Pair 7 8 9 10 11 12 School A 86 111 110 142 125 89 School B 93 77 96 130 147 101 Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the hypothesis that the two schools have the same effectiveness in teaching reading skills against the alternate hypothesis that the schools are not equally effective.

please provide the following information.

(a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses.

(b) Compute the sample test statistic. What is the sampling distribution?

(c) Find the P-value of the sample test statistic.

(d) Conclude the test.

(e) Interpret the conclusion in the context of the application.AppendixLO1
