A school superintendent wanted to know whether there were differences between the high schools in her district with regards to the proportion of students who do not live with their biological parents. She surveyed 200 students from each of the two high schools – East and West. The proportion of students from the survey at East who do not live with their biological parents is 3.4%. The proportion of students from the survey at East who do not live with their biological parents is 4.2%.
Using a 95% confidence interval (2SD or Theory based), can the superintendent conclude that there is a difference between East and West with respect to the proportion of students who do not live with their biological parents.
Group of answer choices
Yes she can conclude there is a difference because the confidence intervals overlap.
No she cannot conclude there is a difference because the confidence intervals overlap.
Yes she can conclude there is a difference because the confidence intervals don’t…
The owner of a car dealership planned to develop strategies to increase sales. He hoped to learn the reasons why many people who visit his car lot do not eventually buy a car from him. For one month he asked his sales staff to keep a list of the names and addresses of everyone who came in to test drive a car. At the end of the month he sent surveys to the people who did not buy the car, asking them why. About one third of them returned the survey, with 44% of those indicating that they found a lower price elsewhere. Which is true?I. The population of interest is all potential car buyers.II. This survey design suffered from non-response bias.Check the best answer.

Each cookie contains a piece of paper with a different number written on it. A random drawing will determine which number is the winner of a dinner for two at a local Chinese restaurant. The dinner is valued at $34. Since fortune cookies are donated to the club, we can ignore the cost of the cookies. The club sold 721 cookies before the drawing. Lisa bought 17 cookies. Lisa's expected earnings can be found by multiplying the value of the dinner by the probability that she will win. What are Lisa's expected earnings?
