The table below gives data on students in a certain school who took the SAT. % taking SAT % who scored over 1000 Seniors 47% 80% Juniors Sophomores Freshmen 30% 65% 14% 58% 9% 46% The first column of numbers shows what percentage of the total pool of students came from each class. For example, 47% of those taking the SAT were seniors. (Notice that the numbers in this column add up to 100%.) The right column of numbers indicates what percentage of each group scored over 1000. For example, 80% of the Seniors scored over 1000. Use this data to construct a tree diagram similar to the one shown below. Your numbers will differ from those shown. In the tree, H represents those scoring "high" (over 1000) and L represents those scoring "low" (under 1000). (H) .48 52 .58 So 42 .6634 .78.22 Sr F .14 .31 .47 .08 Use your tree to answer the following questions.

Roy ‘s Texaco wants to keep the price of its unleaded gasoline competitive with that of other stations in the area. Roy’s is currently charging $1.29 per gallon. To check that the average price for this gasoline for all stations within a 15 mile radius is higher than his price, Roy randomly samples the price of unleaded gasoline at ten stations located in this area. He obtains the following data for the price per gallon (in dollars): 1.7, 1.5, 2.6, 2.2, 2.4, 2.3, 2.6, 3.0, 1.4, 2.3 Set up the appropriate hypotheses and test them using a significance level of α= .05

The Fish and Game Department stocked a lake with fish in the following proportions: 30% catfish, 15% bass, 40% bluegill, and 15% pike. Five years later it sampled the lake to see if the distribution of fish had changed. It found that the 500 fish in the sample were distributed as follows. Catfish Bass Bluegill Pike 122 75 222 81 In the 5-year interval, did the distribution of fish change at the 0.05 level Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. Estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic. P-value > 0.100 0.050 < P-value < 0.100 0.025 < P-value < 0.050 0.010 < P-value < 0.025 0.005 < P-value < 0.010 P-value < 0.005 Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis that the population fits the specified distribution of categories? Since the P-value > α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-value > α, we reject the null hypothesis. Since the…

Which test should I use for this problem: A fisheries biologist stocks three different species of sunfish into a pond at an equal rate (500 individuals of each species). She is interested in determining whether catch rates of those fish by anglers differ between the three species. Any person who fishes the pond during the month of June keeps a record of how many fish they caught by each species. Each fish caught is removed from the population (i.e., harvested). Across the entire month, 100 bluegill, 75 green sunfish, and 75 redear sunfish were caught.
