1. A researcher is interested in finding out if college-bound
high school students tend to smoke cigarettes less than high school
students who are not college-bound. He distributes a questionnaire
and finds that for a group of 57 college-bound students, the mean
number of cigarettes smoked per week is 4.0 with a standard
deviation of 2.0. For 36 non-college-bound students, he finds that
the mean number of cigarettes smoked per week is 9.0 with a
standard deviation of 3.0. A....

A sociologist wishes to estimate the proportion of parents of
college-bound high school students who have not saved any money for
college. What sample size would she need for the estimate to be
correct within 6 percentage points with 95% confidence

of parents had saved no money for college?
(b) if she does not use any prior estimates?

A researcher with the Department of Education followed a cohort
of students who graduated from high school in a certain year,
monitoring the progress the students made toward completing a
bachelor's degree. One aspect of his research was to determine
whether students who first attended community college took longer
to attain a bachelor's degree than those who immediately attended
and remained at a 4-year institution. The data in the table
attached below summarize the results of his study. Complete parts...

The College Board National Office recently reported that in
2011–2012, the 547,038 high school juniors who took the ACT
achieved a mean score of 515 with a standard deviation of 129 on
the mathematics portion of the test
(http://media.collegeboard.com/digitalServices/pdf/research/2013/TotalGroup-2013.pdf).
Assume these test scores are normally distributed.
What is the probability that a high school junior who takes the
test will score at least 590 on the mathematics portion of the
test? If required, round your answer to four decimal places....

A researcher wants to determine whether high school students who
attend an SAT preparation course score significantly different on
the SAT than students who do not attend the preparation course. For
those who do not attend the course, the population mean is 1050 (μ
= 1050). The 16 students who attend the preparation course average
1150 on the SAT, with a sample standard deviationof 300. On the
basis of these data, can the researcher conclude that the
preparation course has...
