question 33

Short Answer

Use the following information to answer the question. Math self- efficacy can be defined as one's belief in his or her own ability to perform mathematical tasks. A college math professor wishes to find out if her male students' math self- efficacy matches reality. To do this she gives a math quiz to the male students then asks them to rate their level of confidence in how well they did on the quiz. She plans to test whether those who had little confidence that they did well on the quiz actually performed worse than those who had a high level of confidence that they did well on the quiz. Shown below is the approximate sampling distribution of the difference in mean quiz scores. The table below shows the summary statistics for the two groups. Assume that all conditions for a randomization test have been satisfied.
