An experiment is planned to compare three types of schools—public, private-nonparochial, and parochial—all with respect to the problem solving in mathematics abilities of freshmen engineering. The researcher selects two large cities in each of six provinces of Davao region for the study. In each province, the researcher randomly selects one school of each of the three types and randomly selects a single freshmen class within each school. The scores on a standardized test are recorded for each of 20 students in each classroom.The researcher is concerned about differences in family income levels among the 30 schools, so she obtains the family income for each of the students who participated in the study.b.

A study was conducted at the local skate park to determine how caffeine affected the performance of skateboarders during competitions. 100 skateboarders were selected from an upcoming competition roster. The researchers chose a random entry then proceeded to select every 4th entry until the desired sample size was reached.On the day of the competition, the sample was split (at random) into two groups. Each member of Group "A" was given a cup of decaf coffee while each member of Group "B" was given a cup of coffee containing 100mg of caffeine. (The skateboarders did not know which type of coffee they received.) As the competition progressed, the scores for each skateboarder were tracked.
A sports arena has three entrances (E1, E2, E3) and four different exits (X1, X2, X3, X4). As spectators come in, they enter through a random entrance E1,E2, or E3 and then exit through a random exit (X1,X2, X3, or X4). a. Create the sample space for this experiment listing all possible entrances and exits a spectator may use. Hint, how many outcomes are there? b. What is the probability a spectator enters from E3 and exits from X4? c. What is the probability a spectator does not enter from E1?
A study compares students who use a website and students who do not use the website. In addition to asking the students in the samples about GPA, each student was also asked how many hours he or she spent studying each day. The two samples (141 students who were users of the website and 68 students who were not users of the website) were independently selected from students at a large, public university. Although the samples were not selected at random, they were selected to be representative of the two populations. n USE SALT For the sample of users of the website, the mean number of hours studied per day was 1.46 hours and the standard deviation was 0.83 hours. For the sample of students who do not use the website, the mean was 2.77 hours and the standard deviation was 0.99 hours. Do these sample data provide convincing evidence that the mean time spent studying for users of the website at this university is less than the mean time spent studying by students at the university who do…
Use Table 1 and the following description for Questions 15-17. Researchers are investigating whether the dessert type impacts consumers' taste preference. They design a study where four participants eat four dessert types on three consecutive days. Table 1 shows the study design. All participants (referred as participant 1,..,4) eat all four dessert types (A= Apple pie, B= Banana pudding, C= Chocolate, D= Donut) in randomized order each day (referred as Day 1, Day 2, Day 3), and provide their taste preference (on a scale from 0= hate it, to 10-love it). Researchers are only interested in testing the impact of dessert type on taste preference, but they know that day-to-day and participant-to-participant variation may impact the test results.

A sporting goods manufacturing company wanted to compare the distance traveled by golf balls produced using four different designs. Nine balls were manufactured with each design and were brought to the local golf course for the club professional to test. The order in which the balls were hit with the same club was randomized to the pro did not know which type of ball was being hit. All 36 balls were hit (assuming the environmental conditions played no role). The resulting distances in yards were recorded and are shown in the following table: Design 1 Design 2 Design 3 Design 4 206.32 217.08 226.77 230.55 207.94 221.43 224.79 227.95 206.19 218.04 229.75 231.84 204.45 224.13 228.51 224.87 209.65 211.82 221.44 229.49 203.81 213.90 223.85 231.10 206.75 221.28 223.97 221.53 205.68 229.43 234.30 235.45 204.49 213.54 219.50 228.35 Write a set of hypotheses to test the mean…
One cable company claims that it has excellent customer service. In fact, the company advertises that a technician will arrive within 45 minutes after a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not accurate, claiming that it takes over 45 minutes for the cable technician to arrive. The customer asks a simple random sample of 25 other cable customers how long it has taken for the cable technician to arrive when they have called for one. The sample mean for this group is 47.9 minutes with a standard deviation of 7.6 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test the customer's claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Ho : μ = 45 Ha:μ 45
