The effort to reward city students for passing AP tests is part of a growing trend nationally and internationally. Financial incentives are offered in order to lift attendance and achievement rates. One such program in Dallas, Texas, offers $100 for every AP test on which a student scores a three or higher. A wealthy entrepreneur decides to experiment with the same idea of rewarding students to enhance performance, but in Chicago. He offers monetary incentives to students at an inner-city high school. Due to this incentive, 122 students take the AP tests. 12 tests scored a 5, the highest possible score. 49 tests scored a 3 or 4 and 61 tests with failing scores of 1 or 2. Historically, about 100 of these tests are taken at this school each year where 8% score 5, 38% score 3 and 4 and the remaining 54% are failing scores of 1 and 2.
a) conduct a hypothesis test that determines at the 5% significance level, whether the monetary incentive has resulted in a higher proportion of scores of 5, the highest possible score.
b)At the 5% significance level, has the monetary incentive decreased the population of failing scores of 1 and 2?
