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)

Suppose that at a large university 30% of students are involved
in intramural sports. If we randomly select 12 students from this
university, what is the probability that no more than 4 of these
students are involved in intramural sports?

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

A university administrator expects that 25% of students in a
core course will receive an A. He looks at the grades assigned to
60 students. a. What are the expected value and the standard error
for the proportion of students that receive an A? b. Use an
appropriate normal transformation to calculate the probability that
the percentage of students that receive an A is 20% or less. c. Use
an appropriate normal transformation to calculate the probability
that the proportion...

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...

A university dean is interested in determining the proportion of
students who receive some sort of financial aid. Rather than
examine the records for all students, the dean randomly selects 225
students and finds that 45 of them are receiving financial aid.
Using a 95% confidence interval, what is the upper limit of the
confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of students who
receive financial aid.
Using a 95% confidence interval, what is the upper limit of the

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 researcher wants to know the proportion of students at the
university who live in residence. A sample of 50 students was taken
and the researcher found 25 of them lived in residence. What is the
99% confidence interval for the proportion of students who live in
residence?

In a university 20% students belong to the school of business
(B), 15% to the school of
engineering(E) and 30% belong to the school of social sciences(S).
Of the school of
business students 35% have taken a statistics course, of the school
of engineering
students 45% have taken a statistics course, and of the school of
social sciences
students, 20% have taken a statistics course. Between the three
schools, what fraction
of students have taken a statistics course (Q)? If...

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,...
