The College Board provided comparisons of SAT

**Data attached in Excel spreadsheet. 

The College Board provided comparisons of SAT scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker's parents.A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT.This data set contains verbal SAT scores for a sample of students whose parents are college graduates and a sample of students whose parents are high school graduates.  Use 0.01 as your level of significance.

1.  Formulate hypotheses to test the research hypothesis. Let population 1 be the students whose parents are college graduates and let population 2 be students whose parents are high school graduates.

2.  Is this an one-tailed or two-tailed test?

3.  Use Excel to test your hypotheses.  What is the test statistic? 1.803753

4.  What is the p-value?

5.  What is the critical value? 

6.  What is your conclusion using 0.01 as the level of significance?

7.  Explain your conclusion in the context of the problem (i.e. in terms a non-statistician could understand)
