An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint, with similar designs. Since Fundash was built on rougher terrain, the designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is greater than the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 290 Fundash runners and 285 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as independent random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 290 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 77.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 7.1 minutes. The 285 individuals complete Coolsprint with a mean time of 76.4 minutes and a standard deviation of 6.3 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, u, of Fundash is greater than the…

Suppose that Mairin has knit a collection of wool‑blend infinity scarves that she wants to sell in her Etsy shop for $28.00 each. However, she is worried that if the average price of comparable scarves is less than $28.00, hers would be less likely to sell. Mairin selected a random sample of 9 similar hand‑knit, wool‑blend infinity scarves, and their prices are as follows. $21.75,$24.00,$27.25,$29.95,$23.00,$26.00,$27.80,$33.50,$27.00$21.75,$24.00,$27.25,$29.95,$23.00,$26.00,$27.80,$33.50,$27.00 Use a left‑tailed one‑sample ?t‑test to determine whether the average price of hand‑knit, wool‑blend infinity scarves sold on Etsy is less than $28.00. Assume that the prices of all comparable scarves are normally distributed. Mairin should (reject, accept, fail to accept) her null hypothesis. There is (sufficient, no, insufficient) evidence that the mean price of hand‑knit, wool‑blend infinity scarves is (greater than, different from, less than, equal two) $28.00.
True or False: Suppose I conducted a study using random assignment. This suggests that I took great effort to ensure that all of my subjects had an equal chance of being in either group.
For each of the following experiments, describe the sample space. i) Flip a coin four times ii) Flip a coin and roll a die. ii) Observe the proportion of people with blue eyes in a group of 40 people.

A 2016 episode of the NPR program "This American Life" featured a radio show host from Tigerville South Carolina and focused on the divisions among evangelical Christians regarding their support of the then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. We know that these divisions still exist, and suppose you want to survey the people of Tigerville (population: 1.312) to see how many of them support Donald Trump today, and you want to use a simple random sample. (a) An SRS of 150 people is taken and it turns out that 55 support Trump. Estimate the proportion of people in Tigerville that support Trump and give a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Trump supporters using your estimate. (b) If 100 simple random samples are taken independently, and 100 such 95% confidence intervals are constructed, what is the probability that all 100 of these intervals will cover the true proportion? Does this number make sense to you? Explain.
