Students attending a certain university can select from 130 major areas of study. A student's major is identified in the registrar's records with a two-or three-letter code (for example, statistics majors are identified by STA, math majors by MS). Some students opt for a double major and complete the requirements for both of the major areas before graduation. The registrar was asked to consider assigning these double majors a distinct two- or three-letter code so that they could be identified through the student records system.

(a)

What is the maximum number of possible double majors available to the university's students?

double majors

(b)

If any two- or three-letter code is available to identify majors or double majors, how many major codes are available?

codes

(c)

How many major codes are required to identify students who have either a single major or a double major?

codes

(d)

Are there enough major codes available to identify all single and double majors at the university?

Yes

No

What are the major areas of adjustment required for students who are entering college? How can these adjustments be made easier? What advice would you have for first-year students to make their adjustment easier? What are the most positive aspects of attending college? Least positive? What does it mean when college students' thinking progresses from rigidity to flexibility to freely chosen commitments? Do you have personal examples of how this has, or has not, occurred in your life? This is...

Over the last 20 years, the number of students who hold a job while attending university fulltime has increased. Work responsibilities may ‘compete’ for time and energy with course responsibilities, and consequently, may affect student academic success. An educational researcher is interested in determining whether student employment influences academic success. The research has obtained a relevant sample of university students, and has determined the following information for each student: their employment status (specifically, the typical number of hours worked per...

Suppose you were attending a university where students hated the bookstore and their aggressively high prices. Suppose further that a student organization goes to the bookstore and argues that prices of text books are exceeding $150 per class. At such outrageous prices, students can no longer afford to go to school. The college bookstore claims that an average student pays $101.75 per class for texts (far below the stated claim of $150). A student group randomly selects ten courses from...

College students are increasingly working while attending school. A study was conducted to determine if there is a significant difference in earnings of male college students and female college students during the eight months of the academic year. A sample of 800 male students earned an average of $5,995 with a standard deviation of $2,500. A sample of 700 working female students earned an average of $5,480 with a standard deviation of $2,600. Use .10 level of significance. Which of...

The weight of male students at a certain university is normally distributed with a mean of 175 pounds with a standard deviation of 7.6 pounds. Find the probabilities. 1. A male student weighs at most 186 pounds. 2. A male students weighs at least 160 pounds. 3. A male student weighs between 165 and 180 pounds. Please show work.
