Question
Suppose we are interested in the proportion of statistics students at this university who are Commerce students. We do a survey of 10 randomly selected students and ask them to indicate if they are Commerce students or not by ticking a box marked 'Commerce' or a box marked 'not Commerce' on the survey form. When we get the responses, we find that 3 students have ticked the box marked 'Commerce' (7 have ticked the box marked 'not Commerce').
(3) Using the second sample, what is the sample proportion of statistics students who are Commerce students (type the proportion, correct to 2 decimal places, into the box)

The average price per square foot for a home in a large county in a certain state is $225. The council of a country town wonders if the mean price of the homes in their town is less than the mean price of the homes in the county. The town council selected a random sample of 9 homes that have recently sold in their town. They found the price per square foot and want to perform a hypothesis test at the 0. 05 significance level. The data is listed below. 221.4 213.1 219.1 229.6 220.7 224.4 221.6 217.8 223.9 1. Calculate the test statistic and the P-value. 2. What is the decision at the given significance level? 3.

To study this the researcher randomly selects 7 condors that live near the California Coast and 7 condors that live near the Grand Canyon for a total of 14 condors. The researcher measures the wingspan of each of these birds in inches and gets the following data. (Note: You may assume that there are about 400 condors in the wild) 94, 100, 102, 110, 115, 118, 119, 122, 123, 126, 128, 135, 136, 140 (All values in inches) (a) What sampling technique was used to collect this data? (b) Use this data to construct a 99% confidence interval for the average wingspan for California condors. Make sure to confirm all necessary conditions and interpret your interval. (Hint: This should be a 1-sample mean confidence interval) (c) Could you conclude that 99% of California condors will have wingspans inside the interval you found in (b)? Why or why not?arrow_forward
