Suppose we know that at a University XYZ that 15% of students receive an A in their introductory statistics class, 20% receive a B, 30% receive a C, 10% receive a D, and the rest receive an F. For comparison, a sample of 260 students at University ABC is taken and 20% received an A, 25% received a B, 25% received a C, 10% received a D, and the remaining students failed the class. When testing (at the 5% level of significance) whether the proportions between the two universities are different, what is the critical value? (please round your answer to 3 decimal places)

The university finance department wants to know if the average age of students at their university is greater than the average for other universities. A random sample of student records is taken from the own university (population 1) and a random selection of student ages from other three universities are taken (population 2). A significance level of 0.05 is chosen. The null and alternative hypotheses are: ?0: ??: The samples are selected, and the results are: ?1 = 28,7 ????? ?1...

Suppose we somehow know that for the entire population of all students, the mean time spent exercising per week is 90 minutes, with a standard deviation of 40 minutes. a) Would you expect time spent exercising per week to be normally distributed? Explain your reasoning. Consider your exercise habits as well as those of people you know. b) We plan to collect random samples of 50 students and compute the sample mean time spent exercising, ?̅, for each sample. Would...

Suppose that we know from a recent nationwide study that the average American watches 15 hours of television per week with a population standard deviation of 4 hours. Assume that the distribution of the number of hours watched is normal. Suppose that we randomly select 500 New Orleans residents and measure their average viewing hours are calculated as 24 hours. Use an appropriate statistical test to determine whether New Orleans residents differ from other Americans in terms of the number of...

A local university wants to conduct a sample of 200 students out of 6000 students. We can assume that the university maintains a good roster of all registered students. (1) how would you select the 200 students(a) using simple random sample method and (b) systematic sampling method? (2) suppose that the university administration wants to make sure in particular students who major in music (a small department with only 8% of students major in music)be adequately included in your sample,...
