I am curious if there is a preference for Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, or Firefly among students at Pierce College. I ask 300 students to choose which they prefer. Below are the results. Conduct a χ² square to determine if there is a preference. Use an alpha (Type 1 error rate) = .05.

Star Wars	Battlestar Galactica	Doctor Who	Firefly	I only watch Sitcoms and Reality TV
73	77	67	59	24

a. What are the null hypothesis and alternative hypotheses?

b. Create a table for expected scores.

c. Compute χ² and report both the critical value and whether the p-value is greater or less than alpha.

d. Based on these data, should you reject the null hypothesis? Why or why not?

e. Based on your results, what would you conclude about the research question? Use every day, non-technical language.

I am curious about how many hours per week my students spend on their online coursework. So, I surveyed 9 of my students on how many hours per week they spend on my online PSY 230 course. According to a survey of online college students (in all courses), students studied an average of 9 hours a week for a 3-credit course. I assume that the national study time scores are normally distributed, and I set the significance level at α...

The evil Empire from Star Wars is running a factory that manufactures droids. The factory is powered by a heat engine, which uses a hot reservoir at 650 Kelvin and a cold reservoir at 450 Kelvin, and which (somehow!) operates at the theoretical maximum eciency for a heat engine. The Empire must supply the engine with 1000 kilojoules of heat for every droid it wants to produce. A group of rebels decide to sabotage the factory. They manage to cool...

May 4th is commonly referred to as “Star Wars” day due to the statement of “May the Fourth be with you” and its aural similarity to “May the force be with you.” Within the Star Wars franchise, those who are imbued with the ability to manipulate the force can, after time, manipulate their physiology to reduce their breathing rate and induce bradycardia (reduced heart rate). This can be explained by specialized molecules called “midichlorians” controlling the autonomic nervous system. Assuming...
