Question
In a random sample of 160 business school students, 72 sample members indicated some measure of agreement with this statement: Scores on a standardized entrance exam are less important for a student’s chance to succeed academically than is the student’s high school GPA. Test the null hypothesis that one-half of all business school graduates would agree with this statement against a two-sided alternative. Find and interpret the p-value of the test.

- In 2014, Scotland was considering independence from England, going so far as to take a referendum vote. One opinion poll taken at the time showed that 51% of Scots favored "independence." In another poll taken at that same time, only 34% favored being "separate" from England. The primary reason these results differed by so much is that a. samples will usually differ just by chance due to random sampling. b. the wording of questions has a big effect on poll results. c. more follow-up efforts reduced the nonresponse rate of the second poll. d. the sample sizes are different, so the margins of error are different.arrow_forward(c) Calculate the test statistic. d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Then interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.arrow_forwardA 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.

According to the NCAA, the GSR for all scholarship athletes in a particular division is 64%. The GSR for all students in this division is 61%. Suppose the NCAA report was based on a sample of 1,000 student-athletes, of which 640 graduated within six years. Is this sufficient information to conclude that the GSR for all scholarship athletes in this division differs from 61%? Carry out the test using a Type I error rate of 0.05.

The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?arrow_forward
