Stats question. Need help confirming answer.
what is it
A personnel manager of a large insurance company wishes to evaluate the effectiveness of four different sales-training programs designed for new employees. A group of 36 recently hired college graduates are randomly assigned to the four programs with 9 employees in each program. At the end of the month long training program, a standard text is administered to the 36 employees. The scores were: Program A had a mean of 81 and a standard deviation of 10; Program B had a mean of 68 and a standard deviation of 9; Program C had a mean of 77 and a standard deviation of 9; Program D had a mean of 84 and a standard deviation of 7. What are your hypotheses? Which groups are statistically significant from which groups? Hypothesis: These 4 groups are all statistically about equivalent. h0=ProgramA=ProgramB=ProgramC=ProgramD h1=One of them is not equal 95% confidence interval: ProgramA=64.816>=x>=92.184 ProgramB=61.082>=x>=74.918 ProgramC=70.082>=x>=83.918 ProgramD=77.851>=x>=90.149 Hypothesis is correct they are all statistically significant to each other.
@dumbcow
what is your h0?
that all the means are the same
i see
Yes, h0=means are the same.
and you set up confidence intervals ,
you used t scores for the interval
Yes, 95%.
Yes.
ok checking
I got for A 73.313 < x < 88.687
using t score
I used my TI 84 calculator Stat -> Tests -> 8: T Interval
So, I got it wrong. :-(
Well, I don't have a graphing calc on me. So, I'll assume your answer's correct. Could you help me by pointing to me to the formula? By any chance?

ProgramA=73.313<=x<=88.687 ProgramB=61.082<=x<=74.918 this is correct ProgramC=70.082<=x<=83.918 this is correct ProgramD 78.619 <= x <= 89.381
hmm... Wonder what I did right for those and what I did wrong for the others. Anyways, I'll go back and redo them all. Thanks a bunch.
thats weird you got two correct and two incorrect
how do we answer this question "Which groups are statistically significant from which groups?"
