In the Past, of All the Students Enrolled in Basic

Short Answer

In the past, of all the students enrolled in Basic Business Statistics, 10 percent earned an A, 20 percent earned a B, 30 percent earned a C, 20 percent earned a D, and the remainder failed the course. Dr. Johnson is a new professor teaching Basic Business Statistics for the first time this semester. At the conclusion of the semester, of his 60 students, 10 had earned an A, 20 a B, 20 a C, 5 a D, and 5 received an F. Assume that the class constitutes a random sample. Dr. Johnson wants to know if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the grade distribution of his class is different from the historical grade distribution. If we assume at α = .05 and that the null hypothesis is rejected, make a one-sentence managerial conclusion.
