In a random sample of college freshmen, the proportion who use text messaging daily was 0.93. In a random sample o post-graduate students, this proportion was 0.78. Researchers computed a p-value and found there to be a significant difference in the proportions. Which of the following would most likely be the p-value that the researchers computed? Select one: a. 1.312 b. 0.0042 c. 0.8315 d. 0.5000

Before the 2008 presidential campaign, the Gallup Poll asked a sample of 1,000 people for whom they would vote for president; 52% said Obama. The margin of error announced by news reports of this poll was A. ± 2%. B. ± 3%. C. ± 8%. D. ± 4%. E. ± 6%
A researcher found that the two groups (n=25 in each group) they tested were significantly different from each other with a t-value of 2.91, which has a corresponding p-value of p=.06. Report the findings in APA number format.
A scale is known to be "low-calibrated" in that it measures an aluminum bar to be 4 grams lower than the actual weight. If ????μold is the mean of all possible measurements of the bar using the old calibration, and ????μnew is the mean of all possible measurements of the bar using a re-calibrated scale. It is desired that ????−????=4μnew−μold=4. Consider the test ?0:????−????=4H0:μnew−μold=4 vs. ?0:????−????≠4H0:μnew−μold≠4 Sample after calibration: mean is 95.8 , SD is 4.9 and sample size is 10 Sample before calibration: mean is 89.352 , SD is 4.2 and sample size is 62 We do not know population standard deviations. What is the p-value? (Hint: best to use software, or else the Desmos Calculator for the 2 sample T and Z test)
Do various occupational groups differ in their diets? A British study of this question compared 98 drivers and 83 conductors of London double-decker buses. The conductors' jobs require more physical activity. The article reporting the study gives the data as "Mean daily consumption (+ se)." Some of the study results appear below. Drivers Total calories 2821 +44 Alcohol (grams) 0.24 0.06 Conductors 2844 +48 0.39 ± 0.11 Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in mean daily alcohol consumption between drivers and conductors.

The age of a tree can be determined by counting each annual growth ring in the trunk of the tree. A common measure of the size of a tree is the "diameter at breast height" DBH. "Breast height" is defined as 4 ½ feet above the uphill side of the tree. Consider the following data on 12 northern red oaks from southwestern Wisconsin: 11 15 28 1.5 1.0 6.0 45 12 52 16.5 11.0 | 10.5 9.0 Age(years) | 97 93 88 81 75 57 1.0 DBH(inch) | 12.5 12.5 8.0 9.5 d) What is the range of validity of this model?
Arsenic is toxic to humans and people can be exposed to it through contaminated drinking water, food, dust, and soil. Scientists have devised a non-invasive way to measure a person's level of arsenic poisoning: by examining toenail clippings. In a recent study, scientists measure the level of arsenic (in mg/kg) in toenail clippings of 8 people who lived near a former arsenic mine in Great Britain. The following levels are recorded. 0.8, 1.9, 2.7, 3.4, 3.9, 7.1, 11.9, 26.0 Below are the summary statistics of the data. min Q1 median Q3 max sd n mean 0.8 2.5 3.65 8.3 26 7.2125 8.368041 8 Suppose the 8 people examined were randomly sampled from residents near the former arsenic mine. Is it legitimate to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean level of arsenic (in mg/kg) in toenail clippings for residents near the former arsenic mine using a t-distribution? Explain briefly.
Random samples of students at 107 four-year colleges were interviewed several times since 1998. Of the students who reported drinking alcohol, the percentage who reported bingeing at least three times within the past two weeks was 41.1% of 336 students in 1998 and 21.6% of 843 students in 2004. a. Estimate the difference between the proportions in 2004 and 1998, and interpret. b. Find the standard error for this difference. Interpret it. c. Define the two relevant population parameters to compare in the context of this exercise. d. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval to estimate the true difference. e.
