see whether there is a significant difference in ages of res-
ident students and commuting students. She selects a ran-
dom sample of 50 students from cach group. The ages are
shown here. At a = 0.05, decide if there is enough evi-
dence to reject the claim of no difference in the ages
of the two groups. Use the P-value method. Assume
o = 3.68 and oz = 4.7.

Based on the marble he chooses, he completes a certain number of push-ups, as shown below. Marble Number of push-ups blue red green 10 Consider choosing a marble like sampling from a population. (The population mean of the number of push-ups is u=9.00 and the population standard deyiation is o =0.82.) (a) Suppose a sample of size 2 is randomly selected from the population, with replacement, as follows. One marble is randomly chosen, the number of push- ups is completed, and the marble is put back into the bag. Then for a second time a marble is randomly chosen and the number of push-ups is completed. There are 9 possible samples. The numbers of push-ups for several of the possible samples have been listed in the table below. Enter the numbers of push-ups for the remaining possible samples. When you are done, select "Compute".
