Question

This question explores methods to analyse the scores in an exam.

A random sample of 149 scores for a university exam are given in the table.

The university wants to know if the scores follow a normal distribution, with the mean and variance found in part (a).

The expected frequencies are given in the table.

The university assigns a pass grade to students whose scores are in the top 80%.

The university also wants to know if the exam is gender neutral. They obtain random samples of scores for male and female students. The mean, sample variance and sample size are shown in the table.

The university awards a distinction to students who achieve high scores in the exam. Typically, 15% of students achieve a distinction. A new exam is trialed with a random selection of students on the course. 5 out of 20 students achieve a distinction.

A different exam is trialed with 16 students. Let $p$ be the percentage of students achieving a distinction. It is desired to test the hypotheses

${H_0}\,{\text{:}}\,p = 0.15$ against ${H_1}\,{\text{:}}\,p > 0.15$

It is decided to reject the null hypothesis if the number of students achieving a distinction is greater than 3.

Find unbiased estimates for the population mean.
