This semester, we have talked about creating random samples as well as desirable qualities of random samples. Other than randomness, one quality of random samples that we have talked about is representation. Using your knowledge of that concept, consider this problem. At a college, 29% of the students are in their first year, 27% are in their second year, 25% in their third, and 19% in their fourth. You take a survey of students and when you classify them by year of study, you have 49, 70, 56, and 25 students in their first, second, third, and fourth years respectively. The table below highlights this information. Year of School First Second Third Fourth Total College Percents Sample Counts Expected Counts 27% 70 25% 56 29% 19% 49 25 200 58 54 50 38 Under the assumption that we think the college enrollment percentages should match our sample, and that therefore our sample represents the college: a) What would the critical value be? (use a = 0.05) b) Find the test statistic to test (c)…
A biologist is studying the composition of birds on a lake and counts 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons. From previous studies performed around the same time of the year, she expects 50% of the birds to be ducks, 23% to be geese, 12% to be cranes, 10% to be swans, and 5% to be herons. What are the expected and observed counts? Select one. Expected = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Expected = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Observed 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons %3D Expected = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons %3D %3D Expected = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons

Do people feel hungrier after sampling a healthy snack? Researchers randomly assign volunteers into one of three groups. The people in the first group were asked to taste a snack that was billed as a new health bar containing high levels of protein, vitamins, and fiber. The people in the second group were asked to taste the same snack but there told it was a tasty chocolate bar with a raspberry center. After tasting the snack, participants were asked to rate their hunger on a scale from 1 (not at all hungy) to 7 (very hungry). The people in the third group were asked to rate their hunger but were not given a snack. Healthy Tasty No Snack 8 3 3 7 1 3 7 3 5 4 2 6 5 6 5 a. Perform a complete one-way ANOVA hypothesis test.

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?
A building contractor has a chance to buy an odd lot of 1,000 used bricks at an auction. She is interested in determining the proportion of bricks in the lot that are cracked and therefore unusable for her current project, but she does not have enough time to inspect all 1,000 bricks. Instead, she checks 150 bricks to determine which ones are cracked. What is the population of interest? all building contractors all 1,000 bricks in the lot the rest of the 850 bricks the 150 bricks selected for inspection the rest of the 700 bricks What group constitutes the sample? the 150 bricks selected for inspection all building contractors the rest of the 700 bricks all 1,000 bricks in the lot the rest of the 850 brickS Submit Answer
To determine the amount of sugar in a typical serving of breakfast cereal, a student randomly selected 60 boxes of different types of cereal from the shelves of a large grocery store. The student noticed that the side panels of some of the cereal boxes showed sugar content based on one-cup servings, while others showed sugar content based on three- quarter-cup servings. Many of the cereal boxes with side panels that showed three-quarter-cup servings were ones that appealed to young children, and the student wondered whether there might be some difference in the sugar content of the cereals that showed different-size servings on their side panels. To investigate the question, the data were separated into two groups. One group consisted of 29 cereals that showed one-cup serving sizes; the other group consisted of 31 cereals that showed three-quarter cup serving sizes. The boxplots shown below display sugar content (in grams) per serving of the cereals for each of the two serving sizes.…

During the pandemic, an HR manager randomly assigned 6 employees to work from homeand the other 6 employees to work from the office as usual. After three months, all 12employees’ job performance was tested. Scores for those working from home were 10, 12,14, 13, 11, 12, and scores for those who worked from the office were 8, 6, 10, 8, 9, and 7.The HR manager then compares the scores from both groups to determine which groupscores significantly higher.Based on the experiment above,a) Carry out a t-test using five steps of hypothesis testing with the 0.05 level ofsignificance at one-tailed. Explain your finding.b) Sketch the t-distribution involved.
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?
