2. The principal of a high school wants to know how long his students spend doing homework at night on average. He wishes to take a random sample of 60 students and record the number of hours spent on homework per night. a, Define the population, sample, parameter, and statistic. b) ' Is the variable of interest qualitative or quantitative? c) The receptionist suggests asking the first 60 students to enter the school library. Why might the principal not want to choose this type of sample?

1. Explain the difference between z-tests (which use categorical data), and t-tests (which use numerical data). 2. Conduct a t-test, both when given statistics, and when given data. 3. Conduct a t-test, 2-sample t-test, and paired t-test. 4. Differentiate between the five types of tests we have learned so far.

Please, I want to solve these paragraphs in full, I just want the answer

(a) Determine the population mean pulse. The following data represent the pulse rates (beats per minute) of nine students enrolled in a statistics course. Treat the nine students as a population. Complete parts (a) through (c). The population mean pulse is approximately beats per minute. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

A statistics teacher asked two different students, Lexie and Jennifer, to go to Wegmans and sample 30 shoppers each.  The population of interest for both people can be defined as, “People who shop at the Johnson City, NY Wegmans store”.  Here is what each person did to collect their sample:                    Lexie: She stood outside at the entrance to the store on 3 different days and times and surveyed every 15th person to walk by her.  She surveyed 10 people each time to get her 30.   Jennifer:  She went to Wegmans after her nursing shift first thing Wednesday morning to buy deodorant since she ran out.  When she was in the pharmacy area she surveyed all the people around her and then, to get up to 30 surveys, she went to the health food section and surveyed everyone she was there.     Identify at least 2 specific reasons why Lexie’s approach is more likely to give a representative sample.  Consider sources of bias, or types of shoppers who might be excluded by Jennifer’s approach.…

There are 15 numbers on a list, and the smallest number is changed from 4 to 0.4.a) Is it possible to determine by how much the mean changes? If so, by how much does it change?b) Is it possible to determine the value of the mean after the change? If so, what is the value?c) Is it possible to determine by how much the median changes? If so, by how much does it change?d) Is it possible to determine by how much the standard deviation changes? If so, by how much does it change

A) We have just conducted a study examining how much math anxiety students experience after taking a statistics class. We want to know if students on average are reporting low (1) or high (7) levels of math anxiety. To do that, we want to compare the math anxiety levels of the students after they have taken a statistics course to the average population math anxiety. We believe that the students on average will have a level of math anxiety that differs from the population. X 3 4 4 5 5 3 1 3 5 6 7 2 2 3 2 3 2 3 1 3 Report our null and alternative hypotheses in words.            Given the information we have, what specific t-test do we need to run in order to examine our hypothesis?         Provided are the ratings from the students that we recruited (see left), the mean and standard deviation for that sample (see below), and the population average (see below): xbar =3.35, Meu=4.00 and SD=1.60…

Suppose a community college has 10,000 students (the population). We are interested in the average amount of money a part-time student spends on books in the fall term. Asking all 10,000 students is almost an impossible task. A sample is taken using a list of students who take photography classes, and each of these students is surveyed. Do you think that this sample is representative of the entire 10,000 student population? Why or why not?

1. A researcher is interested in the texting habits of high schools students in the United States. The researcher selects a group of 200 students, measures the number of text messages that each individual sends each day (for a single week), and calculates the average number for the group. a. Identify the population for the study. b. Identify the sample for this study. c. The average number calculated is an example of what?

C6. For each of the following examples, indicate whether it involves the use of descriptive or inferential statistics. Justify your answer. a. The number of unemployed people in the United States b. Determining students' opinion about the quality of food at the cafeteria based on a sample of 100 students c. The national incidence of breast cancer among Asian women d. Conducting a study to determine the rating of the quality of a new smartphone, gathered from 1,000 new buyers e. The average GPA of various majors (e.g., sociology, psychology, English) at your university f. The change in the number of immigrants coming to the United States from Southeast Asian countries between 2010 and 2015
