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

What is the correct answer?
B. A statistics professor administered an exam to three different classes. The 8:00 class had 20 students and an average score of 82.4. The 9:00 class had 24 students and an average of 78.9. The 29 students in the 10:00 class had an average of 87.3. Calculate the òverall average for all three classes combined.
The indicated IQ score, x, is
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)
Statistics Question
In a science fair project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 350 trials, the touch therapists were correct 165 times. Complete parts (a) through (d).
A study was developed to evaluate effectiveness of a weight loss diet plan. An ad was placed in two towns to locate study participants who were to follow the diet. In Town A, the clinicians asked each dieter to report how much weight they had lost over the previous 6 weeks while following the diet. In Town B, the clinicians weighed each dieter at the beginning of the study and again after 6 weeks on the diet program. The weight lost was calculated as the difference between the beginning weight and the weight after 6 weeks. At the end of the study, it was determined that Town B had lost significantly less weight than Town A. 1.What is the population of interest in this situation? 2. Identify source(s) of bias in this study.
When spinning a penny, Claire believes the proportion of times the penny lands on heads is not 0.5. She spins a penny 50 times and it lands on heads 30 times. Which hypotheses would test Claire's claim? O Hoip = 0.6, Hap = 0.6 O Ho:p = 0.6, H p > 0.6 O Hoip = 0.5, H,p = 0.5 O Hoi p = 0.5, Ha p= 0.5
The authors of a paper were interested in how the distance a deer mouse will travel for food is related to the distance from the food to the nearest pile of debris. Distances were measured in meters. The data and computer output are given below.

The arm span and foot length were measured (in centimeters) for each of the 19 students in a statistics class and displayed in the scatterplot. An analysis was completed and the computer output is shown. Using the computer output, what is the predicted foot length for a student with an arm span of 160 cm? 5.79 cm 22.15 cm 29.76 cm Arm Span vs. Foot Length 29.80 cm 29 27 19 155 160 165 170 175 180 185 190 195 Foot Length (cm) 21
