A guidance counselor selected random samples of 25 ninth graders, 25 tenth graders, 25 eleventh graders, and 25 twelfth graders from her large high school. She asked each student whether they have a job. The results are displayed in the table.
She decides to test these hypotheses:
H0: There is no difference in the distribution of job status for all 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders at this high school.
Ha: There is a difference in the distribution of job status for all 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders at this high school.
The conditions for inference are met. The chi-square test statistic is χ‑2 = 22.21. What conclusion should be made? Use α = 0.05.

In the simulations, group A plays the role of the treatment group and group B plays the role of the control group. After each simulation, he subtracts the average for group B from the average for group A. The distribution of the differences for all 100 simulations is shown in the histogram. 30 28 26 24 22 12 10 6. 2 Group A avg. - Group B avg.

A simple random sample of 618 Republicans were surveyed and 408 said they display the flag on the Fourth of July. Another simple random sample of 615 Democrats were surveyed and 394 said they display the flag on the Fourth of July. Let p1p1 be the proportion of all Republicans who display the American flag on July 4th and p2p2 be the proportion of all Democrats who display the American flag on July 4th.

- A survey was conducted to determine whether hours of sleep per night are independent of age. A sample of individuals was asked to indicate the number of hours of sleep per night with categorical options: fewer than 6 hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more. Later in the survey, the individuals were asked to indicate their age with categorical options: age 39 or younger and age 40 or older. Sample data follow.

Before making this decision, she wants to know how much money people spend per week at coffee shops in that area. She took a random sample of 26 customers from the area who visit coffee shops and asked them to record the amount of money (in dollars) they would spend during the next week at coffee shops. At the end of the week, she obtained the following data (in dollars) from these 26 customers: 16.63 38.63 15.14 14.47 5.01 63.64 10.19 13.28 32.25 36.00 16.19 65.91 10.28 37.14 3.22 6.92 34.65 6.40 36.35 27.59 38.67 13.18 9.80 9.48 1.21 5.19 Assume that the distribution of weekly expenditures at coffee shops by all customers who visit coffee shops in this area is approximately normal.
