Last year, 40% of the students at GGC were in the School of Business, 10% of the students were in the School of Liberal Arts, 25% of the students were in the School of Science, 15% of the students were in the Education, and 10% were in the School of Health Science. To see whether the proportions have changed, a random sample of 200 students from GGC was selected. Ninety of the sample students are in the School of Business, 10 are in the School of Liberal Arts, 60 are in the School of Science, 30 are in the Education College and 10 are in the School of Health Science. Refer to Exhibit 12-14. If the proportions are the same as they were in the past, select the correct null hypothesis. Ho: All the population means are equal. Ho: Not all the population proportions are equal. Ho: pA-0.4; pB -.1; pC-25; pD-.15; pE-.10 Ho: All the population proportions are equal.

The city of Raleigh has 10200 registered voters. There are two candidates for city council in an upcoming election: Brown and Feliz. The day before the election, a telephone poll of 400 randomly selected registered voters was conducted. 197 said they'd vote for Brown, 176 said they'd vote for Feliz, and 27 were undecided.Give the sample statistic for the proportion of voters surveyed who said they'd vote for Brown. Note: The proportion should be a fraction or decimal, not a percent.197400 This sample statistic suggests that we might expect of the 10200 registered voters to vote for Brown.
A consumer agency wants to determine which of two laundry detergents, A or B, cleans clothes better. Fifty pieces of fabric are subjected to the same kinds of stains (grass, mud, coffee). Then 25 pieces are randomly assigned to be cleaned with detergent A and the remaining 25 pieces are cleaned with detergent B. After being laundered, the pieces of fabric are rated on a scale from 1–10, with 1 being the least clean to 10 being the most clean. The difference in mean ratings (A – B) was determined to be 1.5. Assuming there is no difference in the two detergents, 200 simulated differences in sample mean ratings are displayed in the dotplot. Using the dotplot and the difference in mean ratings from the samples, is there convincing evidence that the one detergent is better than the other? Yes, because a difference in mean rating of 1.5 or more occurred only 23 out of 200 times, meaning the difference is statistically significant and there is convincing evidence that A is more effective…

To determine the amount of sugar in a typical serving of breakfast cereal, a student randomly selected 60 boxes of different types of cereal from the shelves of a large grocery store. The student noticed that the side panels of some of the cereal boxes showed sugar content based on one-cup servings, while others showed sugar content based on three- quarter-cup servings. Many of the cereal boxes with side panels that showed three-quarter-cup servings were ones that appealed to young children, and the student wondered whether there might be some difference in the sugar content of the cereals that showed different-size servings on their side panels. To investigate the question, the data were separated into two groups. One group consisted of 29 cereals that showed one-cup serving sizes; the other group consisted of 31 cereals that showed three-quarter cup serving sizes. The boxplots shown below display sugar content (in grams) per serving of the cereals for each of the two serving sizes.…
To get a sample of 50 students for a student services survey, an assistant principal uses the calculator command "randInt(1,72,5)" to pick five numbers between 1 and 72. He goes to those five pages in the 72-page directory and chooses the ten students pictured on each of those five pages. Will this sampling strategy result in a random sample from the population under consideration?
Of a graduate school that has 2000 business majors, 500 finance majors and 300 biology majors, a researcher starts at the least-numbered student ID and continues until she has collected the names of 200 business students, 50 finance students and 30 biology students. What type of sampling technique does this represent? Explain your reasoning.
