The Student Union President conducted a survey to estimate the proportion of first year students who participated in the social activities organized by the Student Union. Which of the following surveying options does NOT affect the presidents ability to generalize the survey to all first year students. The president put the survey on the Student Union webpage a Monday and collected the responses at the end of the week. All of the other options present a problem for generalizing the results. The president polled all students coming out of the Student Union on a given Monday. The freshmen class consists of 3000 students. A random sample of only 300 were sent a survey. Only 150 responded. The survey was sent only to first year students enrolled in statistics courses because all students need to satisfy a statistics general education requirement.
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…
A professor wanted to study the number of hours statistics students spend studyingstatistics each week. Out of 19 statistics sections at Santa Ana College, the professorsurveyed each student from 3 randomly selected sections. What is the largest group ofstudents the results of this study can represent?a. All Santa Ana College studentsb. All Santa Ana College students taking a math classc.

Twenty-nine college students, identified as having a positive attitude about Mitt Romney as compared to Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election, were asked to rate how trustworthy the face of Mitt Romney appeared, as represented in their mental image of Mitt Romney’s face. Ratings were on a scale of 0 to 7, with 0 being “not at all trustworthy” and 7 being “extremely trustworthy.” Here are the 29 ratings: 2.6 3.2 3.7 3.3 3.4 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 4.1 4.2 4.9 5.7 4.2 3.9 3.2 4.5 5.0 5.0 4.6 4.6 3.9 3.9 5.3 2.8 2.6 3.0 3.3 3.7 a 95% confidence interval for the mean rating. Is there significant evidence at the 5% level that the mean rating is greater than 3.5 (a neutral rating)?
A researcher is interested in the relationship between age and golf performance. The researcher claims that golf performance improves with age, that is, as one gets older, his or her golf scores decrease. [In golf, a low score represents better performance; a higher score represents worse performance.] The researcher randomly selects a group of eight golfers at the local golf course and records their ages and their most recent golf score. The data that were collected are presented below: Golfer's Name Diego Tiger Bogart Marilyn Jennifer Mitch Bubba Amber Age (years) Variable 1 23 14 38 43 49 36 72 Golf Score Variable 2 92 112 77 84 81 72 79 86 Which of the following are the correct statements of the null and alternate hypotheses, Ho and HA? O Ho: M₁ M₂ and HA: H1 H₂
A businesswoman is considering whether to open a coffee shop in a local shopping center. Before making this decision, she wants to know how much money people spend per week at coffee shops in that area. She took a random sample of 26 customers from the area who visit coffee shops and asked them to record the amount of money (in dollars) they would spend during the next week at coffee shops. At the end of the week, she obtained the following data (in dollars) from these 26 customers: 16.63 38.63 15.14 14.47 5.01 63.64 10.19 13.28 32.25 36.00 16.19 65.91 10.28 37.14 3.22 6.92 34.65 6.40 36.35 27.59 38.67 13.18 9.80 9.48 1.21 5.19 Assume that the distribution of weekly expenditures at coffee shops by all customers who visit coffee shops in this area is approximately normal. Round your answers to cents.a. What is the point estimate of the corresponding population mean?x¯=$b. Make a 99% confidence interval for the average amount of money spent per week at coffee shops by all…
In a class, 96% students have at least one smartphone, 98% have a calculator, and 95% have a calculator and at least one smartphone. What percentage of students in the class have neither a calculator nor a smartphone?
People often match their behavior to their social environment. One study of this idea first established that the type of music most preferred by black college students is R&B and that white college students' most preferred music is rock. Will students hosting a small group of other students choose music that matches the makeup of the people attending? Assign 9090 black business students at random to three equal‑sized groups. Do the same for 9696 white students. Each student sees a picture of the people he or she will host. Group 1 sees six blacks, Group 2 sees three whites and three blacks, and Group 3 sees six whites. Ask how likely the host is to play the type of music preferred by the other race. Use ANOVA to compare the three groups to see whether the racial mix of the gathering affects the choice of music.
A professor wants to know which type of instructional mode students had more satisfaction. The professor randomly selected n = 5 students from each of the following types of classes: online only, hybrid, and face-to face only. Student were given a satisfaction survey. Are their differences in student satisfaction among the different instructional modes. The data are below: Online Hybrid Face-to-Face 3 3 4 3 3 1 3 1 3 2 2 2 2 1 3 Using the table in the back of the book, find the critical value for F (Fcrit) with α = .05.
As part of a statistics project, a teacher brings a bag of marbles containing 800 white marbles and 300 red marbles. She tells the students the bag contains 1100 total marbles, and asks her students to determine how many red marbles are in the bag without counting them. A student randomly draws 100 marbles from the bag. Of the 100 marbles, 32 are red. The data collection method can best be described as Survey Census Controlled study Clinical study The target population consists of The 1100 marbles in the bag The 300 red marbles in the bag The 32 red marbles drawn by the student The 100 marbles drawn by the student None of the above The sample consists of The 300 red marbles in the bag The 32 red marbles drawn by the student The 100 marbles drawn by the student The 1100 marbles in the bag None of the above Based on the sample, the student would estimate that marbles in the bag were red.
