**Title: Analyzing Claims on College Enrollments**---**Introduction:**A student at a four-year college claims that mean enrollment at four-year colleges is higher than at two-year colleges in the United States. Two surveys are conducted. Of the 35 four-year colleges surveyed, the mean enrollment was 6,146 with a standard deviation of 510. Of the 35 two-year colleges surveyed, the mean enrollment was 5,086 with a standard deviation of 598.

In the United States, egg sizes are set by the Department of Agriculture. A "large" egg, for example, weighs between 57 and 64grams. Suppose the weights of eggs produced by hens owned by a particular farmer are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 55.8 grams and a standard deviation of 7.5 grams. What proportion of these eggs weigh less than 50grams? What percent of these eggs would be classified as large?
York Manufacturing Inc. offers dental insurance to its employees. A recent study by the human resource director shows the annual cost per employee per year followed the normal distribution, with a mean of 1234 dollars and a standard deviation of 321 dollars. What was the minimum cost for the 8 percent of employees that incurred the highest dental expense?
According to a government agency, the average workweek for an adult in February 2018 was 34.1 hours. Assume the population standard deviation for the number of hours worked per week is 4.0 hours. A random sample of 35 adults worked an average of 34.8 hours last week.
Beer Drinking. The mean annual consumption of beer per person in the US is 22.0 gallons . A random sample of 300 Washington D.C. residents yielded a mean annual beer consumption of 27.8 gallons. At the 10% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean annual consumption of beer per person for the nation’s capital differs from the national mean? Assume that the standard deviation of annual beer consumption for Washington D.C. residents is 55 gallons.
The average credit card debt for a recent year was $8,776. Five years earlier the average credit card debt was $8,189. Assume sample sizes of 32 were used and the population standard deviations of both samples were $690. Is there evidence to conclude that the average credit card debt has increased?
For team A, the average number of goals scored per match was 2 with standard deviation (SD) of 1.09 goals. For team B, the average number of goals scored per match was 2.5 with standard deviation (SD) of 1.25 goals. Find which team may be considered more consistent?
In a sample of 351 gamers between the ages of 16-25, the mean number of hours spent gaming per week was 42.5 hours. In a sample of 269 gamers between the ages of 26-40, the mean number of hours spent gaming per week was 43.8 hours. If the population standard deviation for the mean number of hours spent gaming per week is 9.5 for the age group 16-25 and 10.7 for the age group 26-40, test the claim that gamers between the ages of 16-25 spend less time gaming per week than gamers between the ages of 26-40. Assume α=0.03. Let population 1 be gamers in the age group 16-25 and population 2 be gamers in the age group 26-40. Round the test statistic to two decimal places, and round the p-value to four decimal places. The test statistic is . The p-value is . Should the null hypothesis be rejected?
A college in the northeastern United States used SAT scores to help decide which applicants to admit. To determine whether the SAT was useful in predicting success, the college examined the relationship between the SAT scores and first-year GPAs of admitted students. The average math SAT score of a sample of 200 randomly selected students was 649.5 with a standard deviation of 66.2. The average GPA of the same students was 2.63 with a standard deviation of 0.58. The correlation between GPA and math SAT score was 0.19. (a) What does the correlation of 0.19 tell us about SAT scores and GPA scores? (You need to provide two answers.)(b) Find the equation of the least squares regression line.(c) Using the equation, predict the GPA score of a person with a math SAT score of 650.(d) Using the equation, predict the GPA score for a person with a math score of 800.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean salary for registered nurses in Kentucky was $57,688. The distribution of salaries is assumed to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of $5,879. Someone would like to determine if registered nurses in Ohio have a greater average pay. To investigate this claim, a sample of 192 registered nurses is selected from the Ohio Board of Nursing, and each is asked their annual salary. The mean salary for this sample of 192 nurses is found to be $58,016.005. 1. Completely describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean salary when samples of size 192 are selected. 2. What conjecture has been made? 3. Using the distribution described in part a, what is the probability of observing a sample mean of 58,016.005 or more? 4. Based on the probability found, what conclusion can be reached?
Dentists believe that a diet low in sugary foods can reduce the number of cavities in children. Ten children whose diets are believed to be high in sugar are examined and the mean number of cavities is 3.63.6 with a standard deviation of 1.31.3. Twenty children whose diets are believed to be low in sugar are examined and the mean number of cavities is 1.01.0 with a standard deviation of 0.30.3. Construct a 99%99% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean numbers of cavities for children whose diets are high in sugar and those whose diets are low in sugar. Assume that the variances of the two populations are the same. Let Population 1 be children whose diets are believed to be high in sugar and Population 2 be children whose diets are believed to be low in sugar. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary.
