The typically number of credits to be considered full time is 12 credits. The OSU Statistics department is curious whether the ST201 online students take something different than 12 credits on average.
Use the information from the student information survey for our class to perform a hypothesis test.
̅? s n
State: Is there evidence that the average number of credits for ST201 students is other than 12? Vis ualize :
a. (2 points) Describe the histogram of the sampled data in context. Recall, you should include the shape, center, and spread. Is there any visual evidence the average number of credits is less than 15?
Plan:
b. (1 point) State the null and alternative hypotheses to answer
the question of interest.
c. (2 points) Check conditions for inference. List the conditions
and state whether they are met.
