A soda ("7up") maker conducted a survey in 3 schools to see if children liked their brand over another generic soda. The Results are in table below...

School	7 up	Generic brand
School 1	232	168
School 2	260	240
School 3	197	203

Using a 5% significance level and based on the sample data above find out if the children liked the "7 up" over the generic kind.

Expert Solution

H0: Null Hypothesis: ( the children did not like the "7 up" over the generic kind.)

HA: Alternative Hypothesis: ( the children liked the "7 up" over the generic kind.) (Claim)

From the given data, the following statistics are calculated:

n1 = 3

1 = 689/3 = 229.6667

s1= 31.5647

n2 = 3

2 = 611/3 = 203.6667

s2 = 36.0046

Pooled Standard Deviation is given by:

Test Statistic is given by:

df = 3 + 3 - 2 = 4

= 0.05

From Table, critical value of t = 2.132

Since calculated value of t is less than critical value of t, the difference is not significant. Fail to reject null hypothesis.

Conclusion:
The data do not support the claim that the children liked the "7 up" over the generic kind.

A study conducted by Stanford researchers asked children in two elementary schools in San Jose, CA to keep track of how much television they watch per week. The sample consisted of 198 children. The mean time spent watching television per week in the sample was 15.41 hours with a standard deviation of 14.16 hours. (a) Carry out a one-sample t-test to determine whether there is convincing evidence that average amount of television watching per week among San Jose elementary children...

A survey was conducted to see if community college students preferred asynchronous distance learning (where learningoccurs through online channels without real-time interaction) or synchronous distance learning (where learning happens in real time, perhaps on Skype or Zoom). Of the 250 students surveyed, 100 preferred asynchronous distance learning and 150 preferred synchronous distance learning. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who prefer asynchronous distance learning. The local newspaper reported on the results of the survey by saying...

A taste test is done to see whether a person can tell Soda X from Soda Y. In each case, 38 random and independent trials are done (half with Soda X and half with Soda Y) in which the person determines whether she or he is drinking Soda X or Soda Y. One person gets 25 right out of 38 trials. Which graph shown below is the correct figure to test the hypothesis that the person can tell the difference?...
