KNS2723 Assignment Hypothesis Testing

The document presents two hypothesis testing questions related to educational and dental anxiety studies. In the first question, a test is conducted to determine if the mean aggressive behavior rating of New York City public school children differs from a specified value, resulting in the rejection of the null hypothesis at a significance level of 0.05. The second question assesses dental anxiety scores among adults, concluding that the null hypothesis is accepted as the results are not statistically significant.
