In a local university, 40% of the students live in the
dormitories. A random sample of 80 students is selected for a
particular study. The probability that the sample proportion (the
proportion living in the dormitories) is at least 0.30 is
Select one:
a. 0.0336
b. 0.9664
c. 0.9328

Suppose that for all Miami University STA 261 students, the
average distance that they live from campus is 12.2 miles with a
standard deviation of 8.0 miles. A random sample of 49 Miami
university STA 261 students was taken, and the sample average
distance that they live from campus was calculated.
a. what is the shape of the population distribution? Briefly
explain your response
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected MU STA 261
student lives at least...
Problem 5
a) Suppose that, in a random sample of 40 accounting students
who had their second co-op term in W19, the sample mean and hourly
wage and standard deviation were $20.10 and $3.15, respectively.
Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean hourly wage of all
accounting students with a second co-op term in W16. Interpret your
interval.
b) Suppose that based on historic data accounting students on
their first co-op term typically earn an average of $17.84 per...
Suppose that, for students who are enrolled in college algebra,
72 percent are freshman, 40 percent are female, and 25 percent are
female and freshman. Your answers should be entered as decimals and
rounded to three decimal places.
(A) one student will be selected at random. What is the
probability that the selected student will be a freshman or female
(or both)? ___
(B) one student will be selected at random. What is the
probability that the selected student will...
According to the Institute for Students in Shackles, 70% of all
college students in a recent year graduated with student loan
debt. The University of Florida reports that only 52% of
its graduates from a random sample of 500 students have student
loan debt. Use a hypothesis test to determine if there is enough
evidence to support UF’s claim that student loan debt is less.
a) State your null and alternative hypothesis.
b) Find p-hat, SD, Z, and the P-value

A researcher wants to know the proportion of students at the
university who live in residence. A sample of 50 students was taken
and the researcher found 25 of them lived in residence. What is the
99% confidence interval for the proportion of students who live in
residence?
10. Suppose the proportion of all college students who have
changed their major in the last two semesters is 60%. If a class of
200 students is considered. What is the probability that the
proportion of students who may change their major in the next 2
semesters are more than 115?
suppose the proportion of all college students who have used
marijuana in the past 6months is p=0.40 in a class of 200 students
that are representative of all college students would it be unusual
for the proportion who have used marijuana in the past 6 months to
be less than 0.32? Explain how you made your decision in this
question
