Which of the following statements is correct? 1) 79% of all roaches are killed 2) 79% is a statistic 3) 79% is a parameter 4) more than 79% of roaches are killed 5) less than 79% of roaches are killed

Two hundred students were sampled in the College of Engineering. It was found that: 137 take math, 50 take history, 124 take English, 33 take math and history, 29 take history and English, 92 take math and English, 18 take math, history and English. From the given information, there are a. Blank 1 students taking neither math nor history. b. Blank 2 students taking at least 2 subjects. c. Blank 3 students taking no more than one subject.
A TA in statistics thinks that the format of the conferences and the timing of the assignments may affect students' assignment marks (out of 10). He decided to design three conferences with a different format: (1) with lecturing, (2) with demonstrating problems, and (3) with involving students in active problem-solving. Twelve students attended one of the conferences (four in each format) and asked to submit their assignments at week 3. Another twelve students attended one of the conferences but asked to submit their assignments at week 5. The data are tabled below: Assignment Week 3 Week 5 Lecture 6,7,5,7 5,5,4,5 Format Demo problems 7,8,8,9 6,7,7,6 Active problems 9,10,10,10 8,9,9,10 Note: ΣΣΣx=1385 Perform the ANOVA test and table the results, stating all critical values. State and explain what should be the follow-up analysis after the overall F-test if any (NO calculation but just explain).
2. A researcher wants to determine which of three advertisements is most likely to encourage teens not to smoke. To assess the impact of each advertisement, she asks a sample of teenagers to view each ad and to rate the ad's effectiveness on a scale of 1 (not at all effective) to 7 (very effective). One ad used words only (no-cues condition), a second ad used a generic abstract picture (generic-cues condition), and a third showed a picture of a teen smoking and coughing (smoking-related cues condition). Fully test the question (5 steps) and determine the effect size.

In a study about learning styles, researchers used a group of 64 elementary school students who volunteered to be part of the study. The researchers gave each student a pre-test and based upon the results, they divided them into 32 pairs of similarly scoring students. School administrators then randomly assigned one student from each pair to mathematics instruction online while the other student received in-person instruction in a traditional classroom. At the end of the year, all 64 students received a mathematics assessment, measured on a 100-point scale. The researchers calculated the difference (in person −− online) in the mathematics assessment scores for each pair of students. The 32 differences had a mean of 15 and a standard deviation of 3.9 points. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference (in person −− online) in the mathematics assessment scores for all pairs of students like these who learn math either face-to-face or online.

Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?

The area of inferential statistics called hypothesis testing is a decision-making process for evaluating claims about a population parameter, based on information obtained from samples. True or false
