In a large midwestern university (the class of entering freshmen is 6000 or more students), an SRS of 100 entering freshmen in 1999 found that 20 finished in the bottom third of their high school class. Admission standards at the university were tightened in 2000. In 2001, an SRS of 100 entering freshmen found that 10 finished in the bottom third of their high school class. Let p1 and p2 be the proportion of all entering freshmen in 1999 and 2001, respectively, who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class.Is there evidence that the proportion of freshmen who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class in 2001 has been reduced, as a result of the tougher admission standards adopted in 2000, compared with the proportion in 1999? To determine this, you test the hypotheses H0: p1 = p2, Ha: p1 > p2. What conclusion should we make if we test at the 0.05 level of significance?

A. We reject the null hypothesis

B. We fail to reject the null hypothesis

At a large university, freshmen students are required to take an introduction to writing class. Students are given a survey on their attitudes towards writing at the beginning and end of class. Each student receives a score between 0 and 100 (the higher the score, the more favorable the attitude toward writing). The scores of nine different students from the beginning and end of class are shown below. Use the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to check at a 5% significance level...

A large Midwestern university is interested in estimating the mean time that students spend at the student recreation center per week. A previous study indicated that the standard deviation in time is about 25 minutes per week. If the officials wish to estimate the mean time within ± 4 minutes with a 90 percent confidence, what should the sample size be? 106 Can't be determined without the sample mean. 105 105.685
