A political science professor is interested in comparing students who do and do not vote in federal
elections. She computes the mean grade point average for a random sample of 14 students who have voted in
the last federal election to be 2.51 with a standard deviation of 0.44. She computes the mean grade point average
for a random sample of 15 students who did not vote in the last election to be 2.98 with a standard deviation of
0.56. Does the professor have statistically significant evidence, using α = 0.02, to conclude that those who do
and those do not vote in federal elections have different mean grade point averages?

Expert Solution

H0: those who do and those do not vote in federal elections have different mean grade point averages

H1: those who do and those do vote in federal elections have different mean grade point averages

i.e.

Thus we conclude that those who do and those do vote in federal elections have different mean grade point averages

A political science professor is interested in comparing the academic achievement characteristics of students who vote in national elections and those of those who do not vote. In a random sample of 114 students who claim to have voted in the last presidential election, you see a mean of the mean scores of 2.5 and a standard deviation of 0.51. In an independent random sample of 123 students who have not voted, the mean of the mean scores is 2.97...

A statistics professor asked her students whether or not they were registered to vote. In a sample of 50 of her students (randomly sampled from her 700 students), 35 said they were registered to vote. Questions 1 - 6 pertain to scenario 1. Question 1 (1 point) Which of the following properly explains the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of the professor's students who were registered to vote? Question 1 options: a) We are 95 % confident that...

In a political science class there are 15 political science majors and 9 non-political science majors. 4 students are randomly selected to present a topic. What is the probability that at least 2 of the 4 students selected are political science majors? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.

A statistician claims that the proportion of students who will vote for Mr. K to be the next president is 0.54 with the standard deviation of 0.3. Identify the hypothesis test If 1000 students are randomly selected and 455 of them will not vote for Mr. K, what is the P-value? What can you conclude based on 5% significant level? Construct a 95% Confidence Interval If Mr. K is ended up losing the election, does this make sense? Why or...

Overview A cyber-security company called UltraHackz is interested in finding talented computer science students. To do so, they post a challenge you find very interesting. They upload a txt file that contains 100 records containing information about 100 system accounts. Each record has a username, a salt value, and a hashed password. Each record is stored as follows: <username>,<salt value>,<hashed password> That is, there is one line per record in the file, where the three values are separated by commas....

The head of a computer science department is interested in estimating the proportion of students entering the department who will choose the new computer engineering option. A preliminary sample indicates that the proportion will be around 0.208. What size sample should the department head take if she wants to be 95% confident that the estimate is within 0.02 of the true proportion?

A. A researcher was interested in comparing the GPAs of students at two different colleges. Independent simple random samples of 8 students from college A and 13 students from college B yielded the following results. The mean GPA for college A was x1 = 3.11, with a standard deviation s1 = 0.44. The GPA for college B was 2 = 3.44, with a standard deviation s2 = 0.55. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference, µ1-µ2 between the mean...

The article "An Alternative Vote: Applying Science to the Teaching of Science"† describes an experiment conducted at the University of British Columbia. A total of 850 engineering students enrolled in a physics course participated in the experiment. Students were randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups. Both groups attended the same lectures for the first 11 weeks of the semester. In the twelfth week, one of the groups was switched to a style of teaching where students were expected...

A psychology professor was interested in providing assessment options for students in her Memory and Cognition course. She offered students the following three options for a final assessment in the course: 1) A 50-point multiple-choice exam, 2) A five-page essay, 3) A 15 minute in-class presentation. The professor was curious if the choices would be evenly distributed or if there would be a significant difference in final selection distribution. Here are the numbers of students who selected each type of...
