At the Carnival game, there are three 1 dollar bills, one 5 dollar bill, and one 10 dollar bill in a bag. It's five dollars to play, and whichever bill you grab from the bag is the one you keep.
Say you draw 20 times with the following data:
$5, $1, $1, $10, $1, $1, $5, $1, $1, $5, $10, $1, $1, $1, $1, $5, $1, $1, $10, $5
What is the expected value?
A researcher is interested in determining if sleeping more hours the night before an exam will improve student
math practice test scores. She randomly divides the class into two groups. One group is instructed to sleep 9
hours. The other group is instructed to sleep 6 hours. Students were asked to complete a practice math test the
following day. The researcher then compares the average test score of each group. What is the IV?
the class
the researcher
average score
Sleep (9 hours vs 6 hours)
I need help with this problem I want to learn about. A recent year was randomly picked from 1985 to the present. In that year, there were 2,052 Hispanic students at a public university out of a total of 12,328 students. At a community college, there were 324 Hispanic students out of a total of 2,441 students. In general, do you think that the percent of Hispanic students at the two colleges is basically the same or different? (Use ? = 0.05. For subscripts let 1 = the public university, and 2 = the community college.) how do i understand this question?
