Question
The average GPA for all college students in the United States as of 2006 was 3.11. We want to test to see if the GPA of students at Texas A&M is higher than the national average. Suppose we survey 47 randomly selected students at Texas A&M and the average GPA is 3.27, with a standard deviation of 0.54. Assuming all conditions are met, conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.01 significance level. What are the hypotheses?
?0:?¯=3.11;??:?¯>3.11
?0:?=3.11; ??:?=3.27
?0:?=3.27;??:?≠3.27
?0:?=3.11; ??:?>3.11
?0:?=3.11; ??:?=3.27

- A telephone poll of 500 adult Americans was reported in an issue of Time Magazine. One of the questions asked was “What is the main problem facing the country?” Thirty percent answered “crime”. We are interested in the population proportion of adult Americans who feel that crime is the main problem. Define the random variables X and P’ in words. Which distribution should be used for this problem? Explain your choice. Construct a 97% confidence interval for the population proportion of adult Americans who feel that crime is the main problem. i. State the confidence interval, ii. Sketch the graph, iii.
