- A city official would like to know if there is public support for increasing funding for arts programs. To collect data, the city official stands outside a concert hall after a show and surveys every 25th person to exit and asks their opinion about raising funds for the arts. Which of the following describes the population in this scenario? all residents of the city the members of the city council all city residents who support the arts the people surveyed by the city officialarrow_forwardTyped plz asaparrow_forwardMelanie is doing an experiment to determine whether a high-protein food affects the ability of white mice to find their way through a maze. The mice in the experimental group were given the high-protein food; the mice in the control group were give regular food. Melanie then timed the mice as they found their way through the maze. The table below shows the results.

- Professor Fair believes that extra time does not improve grades on exams. He randomly divided a group of 300 students into two groups and gave them all the same test. One group had exactly 1 hour in which to finish the test, and the other group could stay as long as desired. The results are shown in the following table. Test at the 0.01 level of significance that time to complete a test and test results are independent.

- wants to know if it is better for Instructor Pilots to give flight students feedback in the airplane immediately after each maneuver rather than to wait till they are on the ground and debriefing. Six student pilots are selected. Each student receives immediate feedback on half of their flights and receives delayed (after landing) feedback on the other half of their flights. Average scores for the student’s evaluations are listed in the table below. Show work. Student Pilot Score for Immediate Feedback Score for Feedback Received After on the Ground Student Pilot A 4 2 Student Pilot B 3 4 Student Pilot C 5 2 Student Pilot D 3 3 Student Pilot E 5 3 Student Pilot F 5 2 a. Test the hypothesis that the student pilots receive higher evaluations on flights where they received immediate feedback compared to delayed (after landing) feedback. Use α =.05.
