Suppose 2% of students drink more than 3 cups of coffee each day. To check this claim, a researcher randomly selected a sample of 128 students and found that 4 drink more than 3 cups of coffee each day. What is the sampling distribution of the sample proportion? (Round your answers to four decimal places, if needed.) The distribution of the sample proportion of students drinking more than 3 cups of coffee each day (is approximately normal?) with a mean of _____ and a standard deviation of ________

Is there a difference between younger and older citizens in terms of interest in politics and current affairs? A brief quiz on recent headline stories was administered to four random samples of 12 respondents (N = 48) from each of the following age groups: High School (15-18 years of age), Young Adult (21-30), Middle-Aged (30-55), and Retired (65+). And the mean correct responses for each of these groups were as follows: the first group reported a mean of 3.7 correct answers, for the second group the mean was 4.4, for the third group it was 5.6, and for the fourth group it was 7.9 correct answers. Using the data from samples, it was determined that mean square between groups is equal to 41.4 and mean square within groups is 6.9. Is there a significant difference? Please use the five steps of hypothesis testing to conduct an analysis of variance test at the 0.05 significance level and summarize your conclusions in a sentence or two.
The scores on a standardized mathematics test for 8th-grade children in New York State form a normal distribution with a mean of m= 70 and a SD=10. a. What proportion of the students in the state have scores less than X=75? b. If samples of n=4 are selected from the population, what proportion of the samples will have means less than M=75? c.

In a survey of 500 drivers from the South, 408 wear a seat belt. In a survey of 370 drivers from the Northeast, 288 wear a seat belt. At a = 0.07, can you support the claim that the proportion of drivers who wear seat belts is greater in the South than in the Northeast? Assume the random samples are independent. Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Identify the claim and state Ho and Ha The claim is "the proportion of drivers who wear seat belts in the South is greater than in the Northeast."

Mensa requies a test score to be in the top 2%. The test has a mean of 100 and Std. Dev. of 15.and scores are normally distributed. If 4 subjects take the test and they have a mean of 132 but the individual scores are lost, can we conclude that all 4 of them are eligible for Mensa?
A researcher selects a sample of 6 men and 11 women. She asks participants to rate the likelihood they would do female-stereotyped jobs (such as nursing or school teaching) on a scale from 1 = not likely at all to 5 = very likely. Men indicated that they would be less likely to do these jobs (M = 2.1) compared with women (M = 4.3). What is the weighted mean for the combined sample of 17 total participants? O O 2.1 4.3 3.2 3.5

Each of the boxplots shown summarizes 24 student scores on a recent test in two different classes. The boxplots are drawn using a common numerical scale. Which of the following must be true? 1. The lower 25% of Class B are much more spread out than the lower 25% of Class A 2. More people scored below the lower quartile for Class A than Class B 3. The distribution for Class B is skewed left and has a noticeable outlier as well, while the distribution for Class A is somewhat skewed right 4.Class A had more people between the median and the lower quartile than Class B. 3.The distribution for Class A is somewhat symmetric, while the distribution for Class B is skewed right with a noticeable outlier as well
Sarah thinks that she has lost interest in online shopping. Based on her shopping history, she can see that her average purchases in the past were about 4 items on average each week. Since this last month, she can now see that she has only purchased 2 items on average each week, (with a SD of 1). To determine whether her shopping habits have changed, what statistical test should be used here?
