1. What Is MAT 240 Module 5?
MAT 240 (Applied Statistics) is an SNHU course that teaches students to apply statistical methods to real-world datasets. Module 5 is one of the most technically demanding assignments in the course: House Listing Price by Region. Students are given a large real estate dataset containing house listing prices from multiple regions across the United States and are required to:
- Draw a random sample of 750 homes from the Pacific region using Excel's
RAND()function - Compute descriptive statistics (mean, median, standard deviation)
- Set up and perform a formal left-tailed one-sample t-test
- Calculate the t-statistic and p-value using Excel's
T.DIST()function - Make a statistical decision at the 5% significance level
- Write a complete, professionally structured analysis report in APA style
This assignment requires both hands-on Excel data work and academic writing — a combination that trips many students up. Finish My Statistics Class handles both components with precision.
2. Complete Assignment Breakdown
2.1 The Research Question
A real estate salesperson claims that the average cost per square foot of a house in the Pacific region is less than $280. The assignment requires you to test this claim statistically using real-world housing data.
The average cost per square foot of home sales in the Pacific region equals $280.
The average cost per square foot of home sales in the Pacific region is less than $280. (Left-tailed test)
2.2 Random Sampling & Descriptive Statistics
A random sample of n = 750 houses is drawn from the Pacific region of the dataset using Excel's RAND() function. The data is sorted by random values and the first 750 observations selected. Here are the key descriptive statistics from the sample:
The histogram of the sample shows a right-skewed distribution, which is explained by a subset of high-value Pacific properties. Most homes fall in the $104–$400 per square foot range, with the modal class between $166 and $228. Despite the non-normal shape, the Central Limit Theorem applies — with n = 750, the sampling distribution of the mean is approximately normal.
2.3 T-Test Calculation
Since the population standard deviation is unknown, a one-sample t-test is used. The test statistic is calculated as:
The p-value is then found using the Excel T.DIST function for a left-tailed test with 749 degrees of freedom:
=T.DIST(-2.91, 749, 1)
' Result:
p-value = 0.0019
2.4 Test Decision & Conclusion
Statistical Decision at α = 0.05
Since the p-value (0.0019) is less than the significance level (0.05), we reject the null hypothesis H₀.
Conclusion: At the 5% level of significance, there is sufficient statistical evidence to support the salesperson's claim that the average cost per square foot of a house in the Pacific region is less than $280.

4. Why Students Struggle with This Module
| Common Stumbling Block | What Goes Wrong |
|---|---|
| Wrong Sampling Method | Students manually copy rows or pick non-random samples. The assignment requires Excel's RAND() function, sorting the entire dataset by random values, and selecting the first 750 rows from the Pacific region only. |
| Choosing the Wrong Test | Without a known population standard deviation, a t-test (not z-test) is required. Many students incorrectly use a z-test and lose significant points on the methodology section. |
| Incorrect Tail Direction | Since H₁ uses “less than” (<), this is a left-tailed test. Students who use a two-tailed or right-tailed function in Excel get the wrong p-value and an incorrect conclusion. |
| Misinterpreting Skewness | The histogram is right-skewed and students often incorrectly argue the data “is not normally distributed” and cannot use a t-test — missing the Central Limit Theorem argument that justifies normality for large samples. |
| Weak Written Conclusion | The rubric requires a formal, statistically worded conclusion. Saying “the hypothesis is true” instead of “there is sufficient evidence to reject H₀” costs points every time. |
