A recent study at a local college claimed that the proportion, p, of students who commute more than fifteen miles to school is no more than 20%. If a random sample of 265 students at this college is selected, and it is found that 57 commute more than fifteen miles to school, can we reject the college's claim at the 0.1 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) H, : 0 The null hypothesis: The alternative hypothesis: H, :0 D=0 OSO The type of test statistic: (Choose one) O

An auditor for a local court system is tasked with comparing the rulings of two judges. The auditor needs to determine if Judge Hughes issues shorter sentences than Judge Wilson. The data below are the sentence lengths, in months, issued by each judge in their last twelve cases that dealt with operating a motor vehicle without a license. Test the claim that Judge Hughes issues shorter sentences than Judge Wilson for this particular type of case at the 0.10 level of significance. Let Judge Hughes' sentences be Population 1 and let Judge Wilson's sentences be Population 2. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal.

A Verizon researcher compared the number of text messages sent by a sample of teenage boys to the population mean for all Verizon users. She found no evidence to conclude that there was a difference. Unfortunately, her conclusion was in error. (a) What type of error did she make? (b) What conclusion should she have reached?
A news article that you read stated that 50% of voters prefer the Democratic candidate. You think that the actual percent is smaller. 128 of the 284 voters that you surveyed said that they prefer the Democratic candidate. What can be concluded at the 0.01 level of significance?
A contributor for the local newspaper is writing an article for the weekly fitness section. To prepare for the story, she conducts a study to compare the exercise habits of people who exercise in the morning to the exercise habits of people who work out in the afternoon or evening. She selects three different health centers from which to draw her samples. The 57 people she sampled who work out in the morning have a mean of 4.8 hours of exercise each week. The 56 people surveyed who exercise in the afternoon or evening have a mean of 4.2 hours of exercise each week. Assume that the weekly exercise times have a population standard deviation of 0.8 hours for people who exercise in the morning and 0.3 hours for people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Let Population 1 be people who exercise in the morning and Population 2 be people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Step 1 of 2 : Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean amounts…
A study was done to determine if food insecurity/hunger impacts psychological distress (this is fake data to make it simple, but it is based off of a 2020 study that examined the associations between food insecurity and psychological distress among older people in Ghana). Participants were broken into three groups based on their responses: no food insecurity, moderate food insecurity, and severe food insecurity. Psychological distress was measured on the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), where scores range from 0 to 50. Enter data and test to determine if there is a significant difference between the 3 groups in psychological distress Food insecurity: Psychological distress scores (higher = more distress) No food insecurity 5 6 8 10 5 4 14 9 Moderate food insecurity 16 14 9 7 14 8 16 17 Severe food insecurity…
The Coca-Cola Company reported that the mean per capita annual sales of its beverages in the United States was 423 eight-ounce servings (Coca-Cola Company website, February 3, 2009). Suppose you are curious whether the consumption of Coca-Cola beverages is higher in Atlanta, Georgia, the location of Coca-Cola's corporate headquarters. A sample of 36 individuals from the Atlanta area showed a sample mean annual consumption of 460.4 eight-ounce servings with a standard deviation of s=101.9. Answer questions 8-10.
A student scored between 81% and 93% on all exams except for one that she failed with a47% because she studied the wrong chapters. Which value would better represent hertypical performance: mean exam grade or median exam grade? Briefly explain.
A statistics content developer at Aplia wanted to know whether study skills are related to memory quality. She invited student volunteers to perform an online memory task. The students saw a list of 60 words and were then asked to recognize a list of 10 words that were on the original list. Students were also asked to provide their GPAs. Consider the following data set, which was collected from student volunteers in 2009. The table gives the frequency for five intervals of scores on the number of correctly identified words. Use the dropdown menus to complete the table by filling in the missing values for the proportions and percentages. Score Interval f Proportion Percentage 9–10 29 0.19 19% 7–8 53 5–6 50 3–4 22 0.14 14% 1–2 1 0.01 1%
An industrial-organizational psychologist is interested in discovering the relationship between the tempo of preferred music that is played in a workplace and employee mood. Employees chose their favorite song on an MP3 player and then reported their moods when listening to that piece of music. A total of 10 participants were asked individually and brought in their own MP3 players; the least number of songs on an employee's MP3 player was 350. The sample data are presented as a scatterplot below. The psychologist wants to use a Pearson correlation coefficient to analyze the relationship. Considering the assumptions for this statistic, which of these statements is the correct course of action? A. The researcher has chosen the wrong statistic to represent this relationship. B. The researcher has violated a robust assumption and should be able to calculate r. C. The researcher has chosen the right statistic because all the assumptions are valid. D. The researcher has violated a…
