Does the location of your seat in a classroom play a role in attendance or grade? 1600 students in a physics course were randomly assigned to one of four groups. The 400 students in group 1 sat 0 to 4 meters from the front of the class, the 400 students in group 2 sat 4 to 6.5 meters from the front, the 400 students in group 3 sat 6.5 to 9 meters from the front, and the 400 students in group 4 sat 9 to 12 meters from the front. Complete parts (a) through (c). Click the icon to view the chi-square table of critical values. (a) For the first half of the semester, the attendance for the whole class averaged 83%. So, if there is no effect due to seat location, we would expect 83% of students in each group to attend. The data show the attendance history for each group. How many students in each group attended, on average? Is there a significant difference among the groups in attendance patterns? 3 4 Group Attendance 1 0.84 0.84 0.84 0.80 The number of students who attended in the first…

An experiment investigated the effect of length and repetition of TV ads on students choosing to eat at Del Taco. All 60 students watched a 40-minute television program that included ads for Del Taco. Some students saw a 30-second commerical; others a 90-second commerical. The same commerical was shown either 1, 3, or 5 times during the program. After the viewing, each student was asked to rate their craving for Del Taco on a scale of 0 to 10. What are the subjects of this experiment?A. 60 studentsB. effect of length and repetion of TV adsC. 40-minute television programD. craving for Del Taco on a scale of 0 to 10E. 1, 3, or 5 commercials during the 40-minute television program

Superpowers A total of 415 children from the United Kingdom and the United States who completed a survey in a recent year were randomly selected. Each student's country of origin was recorded along with which superpower they would most like to have: the ability to fly, ability to freeze time, invisibility, superstrength, or telepathy (ability to read minds). The data are summarized in the following table. Country U.K. U.S. Fly 54 45 Freeze time 52 44 Invisibility 30 37 Superpower 20 23 Superstrength Telepathy 44 66 a. What proportion of students in the sample are from the United States? b. Find the distribution of superpower preference for the students in the sample using relative frequencies. c. What percent of students in the sample are from the United Kingdom and prefer telepathy as their superpower preference?
