A marketing professor has surveyed the students at her university to better understand attitudes towards PPT usage for higher education. To be able to make inferences to the entire student body, the sample drawn needs to represent the university’s student population on all key characteristics. The table below shows the five key student demographic variables. The professor found the breakdown of the overall student body in the university’s fact book posted online.
A non-parametric chi-square test was used to test the sample demographics against the population percentages shown in the table above. Review the output for the five chi-square tests on the following pages and answer the five questions:
Based on the chi-square test, which sample variables adequately represent the university’s student population and which ones do not? Support your answer by providing the p-value of the chi-square test and explaining what it means.

A retail chain is interested in determining whether a digital video point-of-purchase (POP) display would stimulate higher sales for a brand advertised compared to the standard cardboard point-of-purchase display. To test this, a one-shot static group design experiment was conducted over a four-week period in 100 different stores. Fifty stores were randomly assigned to the control treatment (standard display) and the other 50 stores were randomly assigned to the experimental treatment (digital display). Compare the sales of the control group (standard POP) to the experimental group (digital POP).
What were the average sales for the standard POP display (control group)?
What were the sales for the digital display (experimental group)?
What is the (mean) difference in sales between the experimental group and control group?
List the null hypothesis being tested.
Do you reject or retain the null hypothesis based on the results of the independent t-test?
Was the difference between the…

This product is used in conductive pastes to manufacture a wide variety of products ranging from silicon wafers to elastic membrane switches. Powder density (g/cm²) and surface area (cm/g) are the two critical characteristics of this product. The experiments involved three factors: reaction temperature, ammonium percentage, stirring rate. Each of these factors had two levels, and the design was replicated twice. The design is shown in Table 3.

Cracking is a potentially serious problem in the final part because it can lead to nonrecoverable failure. A test is run at the parts producer to determine the effect of four factors on cracks.

Two replicates of a 24 design are run, and the length of crack (in mm x10-2) induced in a sample coupon subjected to a standard test is measured. The data are shown in Table 2. 1 (a) Estimate the factor effects. Which factor effects appear to be large? (b) Conduct an analysis of variance. Do any of the factors affect cracking? Use a = 0.05.
