An educational software company wanted to see if students improved their entrepreneurial skills after participating in five rounds of their game. Twenty-five randomly selected students participated in the study. They first completed a pretest on entrepreneurial skills, then completed 5 rounds of the game, and then took a post-test. The students were scored on a numerical scale. A higher score is better. They found the difference in the ratings by finding d = pre-post. What is the appropriate alternative hypothesis? Ha: d_bar < 0 O Ha: mu_d < 0 Ha: d_bar0 O Ha: mu_d>0

You find a coin in the street and are flipping it while walking away. You happen to look at the outcomes of your coin flips and notice heads is showing up more than you think it should. After 10 flips, the coin has landed on heads 8 of the 10 flips. Deciding you need more data, you flip the coin 25 more times and it lands heads up 18 times. You have now flipped the coin 35 times, 26 of which have landed heads. You are still surprised of these results, so you decide to flip the coin 100 more times and record the data. This time, the coin landed heads up 75 times. Now, you flip your coin 135 times, and it lands heads up 101 times. Are you convinced that the coin you have found is weighted, meaning that it favors one outcome over the other? Why? What is the name of the property of probability shown in the previous example? (continuous probability, discrete probability, law of averages, law of large numbers)

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is significantly larger than 50% at a level of significance of a = 0.10. According to your sample, 49 out of 92 potential voters prefer the Democratic candidate.
Management of a theater in a large city wants to know whether its popularity increased after it ran a popular musical. According to a previous study, 25% of city residents said they had been to the theater in the past year. A more recent study, conducted after the musical had run for a year, found that 156 of 536 residents sampled said they had been to the theater in the past year. Is there evidence at the ? = 0.05 level that the number of residents who have been to the theater has increased in the last year?
You are hiking through the woods, and come across some tracks; based on your expe- rience, you estimate there is a 40% chance the tracks are from a dog, a 30% chance the tracks are from a wolf, a 20% chance the tracks are from a coyote, and a 10% chance the tracks are from some other animal. Your friend, also a nature lover, notices some white hairs in the tracks. They know that 20% of dogs have white hair, 50% of wolves have white hair, 10% of coyotes have white hair, and 30% of other animals in the area have white hair. What are the odds of these tracks coming from a dog, wolf, coyote, or other animal?
Lucy recently asked the servers at her restaurant to only give straws to customers who request them. She thinks that about half of the customers will ask for straws but hopes that the rate will be less than half. She randomly selects 100 customers and finds that 43 of them ask for a straw. To determine if these data provide convincing evidence that the proportion of customers who will ask for a straw is less than 50%, 150 trials of a simulation are conducted. Lucy is testing the hypotheses: H0: p = 50% and Ha: p < 50%, where p = the true proportion of customers who will ask for a straw. Based on the results of the simulation, what is the estimate of the P-value of the test? A) 0.0333 B) 0.05 C) 0.0733 D) 0.11
Itranscript One male and one female dam rat pup were randomly selected from 8 litters to perform the swim maze. Each pup was placed in the water at one end of the maze and allowed to swim until it escaped at the opposite end. If the pup failed to escape after a certain period of time, it was placed at the beginning of the maze and given another chance. The experiment was repeated until each pup accomplished three successful escapes. The table to the right reports the number of swims required by each pup. Is there sufficient evidence of a difference between the mean number of swims required by male and female pups? Use a=0.01. Comment on the assumptions required for the test to be valid.

Many golfers wear wrist bracelets containing magnets because they claim the magnets improve balance and the length of shots played off the tee. A golfer would like to determine if the claim has merit and finds 200 volunteers who play golf to participate in an experiment. Half of the golfers are randomly assigned to wear a bracelet with magnets, while the other half wear a bracelet without magnets. Each golfer plays normally for a month, after which the length of their shots in a subsequent round is recorded. What is the response variable in this experiment? the age of each golfer the 200 volunteers the length of shots played by the golfers whether the golfers wear or do not wear the bracelet
Determining whether two samples are independent or paired a... Charmaine has two ways to travel from her home in Norco to her office in Los Angeles. One is to go via the San Bernardino Freeway, and the other is to go via the Pomona Freeway. Recently, a lane was added to the San Bernardino Freeway. So, Charmaine wants to determine if it is now faster to take the San Bernardino Freeway than the Pomona Freeway. She selected a random sample of 12 of her trips via the San Bernardino Freeway and a random sample of 12 of her trips via the Pomona Freeway. The two samples were chosen separately, so that the selection of the trips via the San Bernardino Freeway did not affect the selection of the trips via the Pomona Freeway. Charmaine recorded the travel times (in minutes) for the trips in each of the two samples. The following table gives the data, sample means, and sample standard deviations. S.B.

Scenario: A researcher wants to know whether a hard copy of a textbook provides additional benefits over an e-book. She conducts a study where participants are randomly assigned to read a passage either on a piece of paper or on a computer screen. After a distractor task lasting 30 minutes, the participants are tested for their comprehension of the passage with a multiple-choice test containing 10 questions about their passage. Comprehension was scored using percent correct (0 — 100%). The researcher predicts that those randomly assigned to read the passage on a piece of paper will remember significantly more than those who read the passage online. Question: What is the research / alternate hypothesis for this scenario? People who read a passage on a piece of paper will remember more than those who read a passage online. People who read a passage on a piece of paper will not remember more than those who read a passage online. Amount remembered of a passage will vary based…
A research study concluded that self-employed individuals do not experience higher job satisfaction than individuals who are not self-employed. In this study, job satisfaction is measured using 18 items, each of which is rated using a Likert-type scale with 1–5 response options ranging from strong agreement to strong disagreement. A higher score on this scale indicates a higher degree of job satisfaction. The sum of the ratings for the 18 items, ranging from 18–90, is used as the measure of job satisfaction. Suppose that this approach was used to measure the job satisfaction for lawyers, physical therapists, cabinetmakers, and systems analysts. Suppose the results obtained for a sample of 10 individuals from each profession follow.
