A university is considering implementing one of the following three grading systems: (1) All grades are pass-fail, (2) all grades are on the 4.0 system, and (3) 90% of the grades are on the 4.0 system and 10% are pass-fail. A survey is taken to determine whether there is a relationship between undergraduate major and grading system preference. A random sample of 200 students with engineering majors, 200 students with arts and sciences majors, and 100 students with fine arts majors is selected. Each student is asked which of the three grading systems he or she prefers. The results are shown in the following 3 X 3 contingency table: Grading System 4.0 and Row Marginal Pass-fail 26 Pass-fail 55 Fine arts 19 100 Arts and sciences 24 118 58 200 20 112 68 200 Engineering Column Marginal 70 285 145 500 a. What is a null hypothesis? b. What do you conclude? Use a = 0.05.

Sample surveys on sensitive issues can give different results depending on how the question is asked. A University of Wisconsin study randomly divided 2400 respondents into three groups. All participants were asked if they had ever used cocaine. One group of 800 was interviewed by phone; 21% said they had used cocaine. Another 800 people were asked the question in a one-on-one personal interview; 25% said “Yes.” The remaining 800 were allowed to make an anonymous written response; 28% said “Yes.”101. Was this an experiment or an observational study? Justify your answer.2. Make a two-way table of responses about cocaine use by how the survey was administered.3. Are the differences between the three groups statistically significant? Give appropriate evidence to support your answer

The Pew Research Center Internet Project, conducted on the 25th anniversary of theInternet, involved a survey of 857 Internet users (Pew Research Center website, April 1,2014). It provided a variety of statistics on Internet users. For instance, in 2014, 87%of American adults were Internet users. In 1995 only 14% of American adults used theInternet.a. The sample survey showed that 90% of respondents said the Internet has been a goodthing for them personally. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion ofrespondents who say the Internet has been a good thing for them personally.
Last school year, the student body of a local university consisted of 35% freshmen, 24% sophomores, 26% juniors, and 15% seniors. A sample of 300 students taken from this year's student body showed the following number of students in each classification. Freshmen 90 Sophomores 60 Juniors 90 Seniors 60 We are interested in determining whether or not there has been a significant change in the classifications between the last school year and this school year. The calculated value for the test statistic equals a. 0.5444 b. 2.789 c. 10.989 d. 15.231

A real-estate appraiser wants to verify the market value for homes on the east side of the city that are very similar to size and style. The appraiser wants to test the popular belief that the average sales price is $37.80 per square foot for such homes. Suppose that a random sample of six sales were selected. The sampled sales prices per square foot are $35.00, $38.10, $37.20, $29.80, $30.30, and $35.40. Assuming a normal distribution is a good model for sales, test the claim that the mean sales price per square foot differs from $37.80 at the 1% significance level.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 43% of the college students work full time. A survey of 900 randomly selected college students is to be conducted. For such groups of 900, would it be unusual to get 735 college students who work fulltime?
Sociologists argued that women on average earn less than men as women often choose to work less hours. They further suggest that the choice of hours worked may be driven by various factors such as age, childcare needs, occupation choice and flexibility. To investigate the relation between hours worked and income earned by Australian men and women, a researcher plans to survey a sample of individuals across the country. Briefly explain a) What type of survey method the researcher could use and why? b) What sampling method could the researcher use to select his/her sample and why? c) What are the two main variables the researcher should consider collecting data for the purpose of the above analysis and why? Identify the data type(s) for the variables. d) What kind of issues the researcher may face in this data collection? Suppose a researcher has collected data from a sample of 65 individuals using the sampling method you have proposed in (b). For each individual, the hours worked per…

3) Reynoldsburg surveys their high schoolers. They found 60% of students had cheated on a test and 80% of those who cheated felt guilt about it. What percent of all high schoolers in Reynoldsburg have both cheated and felt guilty about it?
Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?
Based on market sales figures, approximately 7.9% of car owners in California own an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle (EV). A marketing director at a local car dealership would like to know if their sales of EV's is any greater than what the state's sales proportions are. To examine this, they look over the last 500 sales (which they consider to be a representative sample of all car sales) and determine that 10.4% of those were EV sales. Is this statistically significant evidence that the dealership sells a higher proportion of EV's than the overall state's proportion? Which of the following are the correct null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test used to determine significance?
