Question
In a 2015 study entitled How Undergraduate Students Use Credit Cards, it was reported that undergraduate students have a mean credit card balance higher than $3000. This figure was an all-time high and had increased 42% over the previous five years. Assume that a current study is being conducted to determine if it can be concluded that the mean credit card balance for undergraduate students has continued to increase compared to the report. See the sample below of undergraduate students in 2015 and different undergraduate students in 2019.

- A credit score is used by credit agencies (such as mortgage companies and banks) to assess the creditworthiness of individuals. Values range from 300 to 850, with a credit score over 700 considered to be a quality credit risk. According to a survey. the mean credit score is 709.1. A credit analyst wondered whether high-income individuals (incomes in excess of $100,000 per year) had higher credit scores. He obtained a random sample of 44 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 722.4 with a standard deviation of 83.5. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high-income individuals have higher credit scores at the a = 0.05 level of significance.

The value of $31,800 is a statistic. A study is observational when the researcher controls the behaviors of their subjects.arrow_forwardA Midwest college admissions committee recently conducted a study to determine the relative debt incurred by students receiving their degrees in four years versus those taking more than four years. Some on the committee speculated a four-year student would likely be attending full time, whereas one taking more than four years could have a part-time job. However, average total debt provides only part of the information. Since the average, or mean, is affected by both large and small values, the committee also needed some way to determine the relative variances for the two groups. Samples of size 20 produced standard deviations of 2,636 for four-year graduates and 1,513 for those taking more than four years. Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine if the standard deviation of the debt for four-year graduates is larger than those taking more than four years. Use a significance level of 0.05.arrow_forward
- According to the most recent General Social Survey, 70% of adults watch TV nightly. A researcher believes that the proportion of college students who watch TV nightly is less than this. To test this claim the research samples 400 college students and finds that 276 watch TV nightly. At the 0.05 level of significance does this data provide evidence to suggest that the proportion of college students who watch TV nightly is less than 70%?arrow_forwardThe Transportation Security Administration (TSA) collects data on wait time at each of its airport security checkpoints.
