A company selling home appliances claims that the accompanying instruction manuals are written at a 6th-grade reading level. An English teacher believes that the true figure is higher and with the help of an AP Stat student runs a hypothesis test. The student randomly picks one page from each of 25 of the company's instructions manuals, and the teacher subjects the pages to a standard readability test. The reading levels of the 25 pages are given in the following table: Reading Grade Level 5 6 7 8 9 10 Number of pages 6 10 4 2 2 1 Is there statistical evidence to support the English teacher's belief?
- A.
  
  No, because the p-value is greater than .10
- B.
  
  Yes, the p-value is between .01 and .05 indicating some evidence for the teacher's belief.
- C.
  
  Yes, the p-value is between .001 and .01 indicating strong evidence for the teacher's belief.
- D.
  
  Yes, the p-value is between .05 and .10 indicating strong evidence for the teacher's belief.
- E.
  
  Yes, the p-value is less than .001 indicating strong evidence for the teacher's belief.

Thirty students volunteer to test which of two strategies for taking multiple-choice exams leads to higher average results. Each student flips a coin, and if heads, uses Strategy A on the first exam and then Strategy B on the second exam, while if tails, uses Strategy B first and then Strategy A. The average of all 30 Strategy A result is then compared to the average of all 30 Strategy B results. What is the conclusion at the 5% significance level if a two-sample hypothesis test, , results in a p-value of .18?
- A.
  
  The observed difference in average scores is significant.
- B.
  
  The observed difference in average scores is not significant.
- C.
  
  A conclusion is not possible without knowing the average scores resulting from using each strategy.
- D.
  
  A conclusion is not possible without knowing the averages scores and the standard deviations resulting from using each strategy.
- E.
