Across the nation, many college students have been complaining to the dean of students about the temperature in the classrooms being at an "uncomfortable level", either too cold or too hot. Baylor's dean of students is interested in determining the true proportion of Baylor students that feel the classroom temperature is at an uncomfortable level. Out of a random sample of 200 Baylor students, ninety-eight say that the classrooms are either too hot or too cold. a. What is the parameter of interest? b. What is the point estimate you would calculate to estimate the parameter? What is its value?

The President of the University of Michigan would like to know more about students on campus. He conducts a survey of 173 randomly selected students that is representative of the entire student body. He finds that 53 of 173 sampled students are Health Science majors. He also collects data on student's majors by race/ethnicity and gets the data below. Health Science Student Ethnicity yes no total African American 5 16 21 Asian/Pacific Islander 3 17 20 Caucasian 42 58 100 Hispanic 2 17 19 Other 1 12 13 Total 53 120 173 a) The President is interested in the association between race/ethnicity and major. State the null and alternative hypothesis for evaluating this. b) How many students would you expect to be Hispanic health science majors if race/ethnicity and major are independent of each other? c) You find that the chi-squared test statistic works out to be 15.6748 with a P-value equal to .003488.…
The director of student services at San Bernardino Valley College is interested in whether women are more likely to attend orientation than men before they begin their coursework. A random sample of freshmen at San Bernardino Valley College were asked to specify their gender and whether they attended the orientation. The results of the survey are shown below: Data for Gender vs. Orientation Attendance Women Men Yes 399 361 No 260 264 Let p1 be the proportion of women who attended the orientation and p2p2 be the proportion of men who attended the orientation.

A researcher wants to know if mood is affected by music. She conducts a test on a sample of 4 randomly selected adults and measures mood rating before and after being exposed to classic rock music. The following are the mood ratings for the four participants:
The US Census Bureau wants to estimate the median income of all adult women in the US, so they collect income information from 4205 randomly chosen women. Identify the individual, variable, population, sample, parameter, and statistic in this scenario. v Individual a. the median income of the 4205 women in the US who were sampled v Parameter b. all women in the US Variable c. the 4205 women in the US who were surveyed v Statistic d. the median income of all women in the US e. income Population f. one woman in the US Sample
A researcher wanted to know whether the level of frustration over high gas prices differed for different types of vehicle owners. Following a sharp increase in the price of gas, the researcher asked 30 people to indicate their level of frustration with prices at the pump (frustration scores ranged from 1 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater frustration). Ten people were surveyed who owned a motorcycle as their primary means of transportation (coded a 1 in the data file 1), 10 were surveyed who owned a hybrid vehicle (coded a 2 in the data file 1), and 10 were surveyed who owned a non-hybrid vehicle (coded a 3 in the data file Exam 3). a.State the null and alternative hypotheses. b. State a research question for the data.
For an article in a magazine, 20 different vehicles were selected to obtain data for comparison. From each vehicle the price in dollars, the fuel economy (in miles per gallon), the number of doors, the type of vehicle (car, truck, SUV, other), and if it had all wheel drive or not. a. What are the cases? b. List the variables and identify them as quantitative or categorical.
A survey regarding the heights ( in cm) of 51 girls of class X of a school was conducted and the following data were obtained: Height (In cm) Number of girls 140 4 145 11 150 29 155 40 160 46 165 51 Find the Median height.
In the world population, 81.2% of all people have dark brown or black hair, 10.3% have brown hair, 6.3% have blond hair and 2.2% have red, gray, or white hair. A researcher wants to see if the distribution of hair color is different for the residents of Nashville. The table below shows the results of a random sample of 568 residents in Nashville. What can be concluded at the significant level of a = 0.01.

If the students read only 101 books for the month of June, which measure of central tendency will have the greatest change? A. The median will have the greatest change. B. The mean will have the greatest change. C. All measures will have an equal change. D. The mode will have the greatest change.
Consider the example from the previous problem, in part (b). The sizes (in grams) of Latavia's 14 oranges are 124, 126, 129, 130, 134, 136, 139, 142, 146, 149, 152, 154, 155, and 157 g. a. Find the sample mean of Latavia's data. b. Make a boxplot or a histogram of Latavia's data with a bin size of 10. c. If even a small sample is graphed and has no major skew or outliers, it is generally reasonable to assume that the population “could reasonably be normal," and therefore that the sampling distribution of the mean is approximately normal. This is the "normal population" condition. Does this sample appear to satisfy this condition? d. Latavia reads online that medium-sized navel oranges have a mean mass of 131 g with a standard deviation of 18 g. She is interested to test if the Fresh Foods oranges match those parameters. State a null and alternative hypothesis for this situation using symbols. Note that Latavia is making two assumptions in her test. e. Calculate a test statistic: what…
