A large university provides housing for 10 percent of its graduate students to live on campus. The university’s housing office thinks that the proportion of graduate students looking for housing on campus may be more than 0.10. The housing office decides to survey a random sample of graduate students, and 62 of 481 say that they are looking for housing on campus. At a=.05, is there evidence to support the housing office’s suspicion?

A university is interested in whether there's a difference between students who live on campus and students who live off campus with respect to absenteeism. Over one semester, researchers take random samples of on-campus and off-campus students and record the following number of classes each student misses. On-campus: (3, 4, 0, 6, 2, 1, 3, 3, 5, 2, 4, 4, 6, 5, 2) Off-campus: (6, 5, 2, 6, 2, 0, 7, 8, 1, 7, 2, 6, 5, 3, 2) a)...

A committee surveyed 173 students from a large university campus and found that 53 of them participated in varsity sports. (a) Based on the survey results, construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who are varsity athletes. (b) Based on the survey results, test the claim that more than 25% of students are varsity athletes. Use alpha=0.01α = 0.01. Show all work.

It seems to becoming more common for students to live in off campus housing than to pay to live on campus. A study at a large state university revealed that in a random sample of 50 seniors last year, 56% lived in off campus housing whereas this year, a random sample of 50 seniors showed that 64% lived in off campus housing. (a) Is this convincing evidence that the true proportion of all seniors that are living in off campus...
