NULL HYPOTHESIS:biological sex and drink preference are independent

ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS:biological sex and drink preference are not independent.

Since, p-value=0 then,we reject the null hypothesis.

Thus biological sex and drink preference are not independent.

At the beginning of the Summer 2018 semester, a sample of 266 World Campus students were surveyed and asked if they were a first-generation college student. In the sample of 266, 139 said that they were first generation college students. We want to construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of all World Campus students who are first generation students. A.

A group of 400 students that lived in on-campus housing were surveyed and asked if (1) they had access to a car and (2) whether they owned a television. Suppose that a person collecting the data likes puzzles and she has given you the following information about the results of the poll. One hundred thirty of the students responded that they had access to a car, 240 students did not own a television, and 150 students both did not have...
