All of the students in their final year of law school at the University of Memphis were sent an email asking them to participate in a research study. Forty law students volunteered for the study and provided informed consent. All of the participants observed a videotape of a crime. Next, a fair coin was flipped to decide if each participantwould go to a room on the right or a room on the left. The twenty students in the room on the right attempted to choose the criminal seen in the movie from a lineup consisting of five people. The twenty students in the room on the left chose from a lineup consisting of ten people. Each of the subjects then judged their confidence in the person they selected as the criminal from 50% (no idea) to 100% (completely sure). 4. What is the researcher’s hypothesis (Use your best guess if it is not obvious)? 5. How many participants were in the study sample?

Out of the 25 customers offered the warranty, 10 purchased a mower as compared to 4 of 25 not offered the warranty. a. Place a 95% confidence interval on 7₁ - 72, the difference in the proportions of customers purchasing lawnmowers with and without the warranty. b. Test the research hypothesis that offering the warranty will increase the propor- tion of customers who will purchase a mower. Use a = .05. c. Are the conditions for using a large-sample test to answer the question in part (b) satisfied? If not, apply an exact procedure,
