The following table is based on a random sample conducted of
high school seniors and their parents by Jennings and Niemi, in
which they explore the party identification of parents and their
children.
Student Party Identification
Parent Party ID
Democrat
Independent
Republican
Democrat
604
245
67
Independent
130
235
76
Republican
63
180
252
What is the percentage of students who share the same party
identification as their parents? (Show the computation.)
What percentage of Democrat parents have Republican
children?
Based on these data, can we say if the relationship is causal?
Explain your answer.
Suppose you were exploring the hypothesis that there is a
relationship between parents’ and children’s party identification.
Would we be correct in inferring that such a relationship also
exists in the population? Explain your answer. What is the
probability that any relationship we found is due to pure
chance?
5.20 High School and Beyond, Part I: The National Center of Education Statistics conducted a survey of high school seniors, collecting test data on reading, writing, and several other subjects. Here we examine a simple random sample of 200 students from this survey. Side-by-side box plots of reading and writing scores as well as a histogram of the differences in scores are shown below. (b) Create hypotheses appropriate for the following research question: is there an evident difference in the average...
High School and Beyond, Part l. The National Center of Education Statistics conducted a survey of high school seniors, collecting test data on reading, writing, and several other subjects. Here we examine a simple random sample of 200 students from this survey. A histogram of the difference in the reading and writing score of each student is shown below. .1. Which set of hypotheses is appropriate for the following research question: is there an significant difference in the average scores of students...
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) mathematics scores of a random
sample of 100 high school seniors in the state of Texas are
collected, and the sample mean and standard deviation are found to
be 520 and 80, respectively. Find a 95% confidence interval on the
mean SAT mathematics score for seniors in the state of Texas.
The Panama City Times recently conducted a survey of local high
school juniors and seniors and found that 59.8% of them planned on
attending Gulf Coast State College within the next 2 years. If 12
local high school students are selected randomly from this area,
what the probability that fewer than 4 of them will say they plan
on attending GCSC within the next 2 years?
what would my n, x and p be? using the calculator( binomcdf)
The following is a random sample of the annual salaries of high
school counselors in the United States. Assuming that the
distribution of salaries is approximately normal, construct a 90%
confidence interval for the mean salary of high school counselors
across the United States. Round to the nearest dollar.
$55,250, $46,540, $42,120, $58,740, $38,010, $43,650,
$65,640
The following sample information is given concerning the ACT
scores of high school seniors form two local schools.
School A
School B
= 11
= 18
= 25
= 23
= 19
= 10
At 95% confidence what is the marginal of error of the interval
estimate for the difference between the two populations? Please
keep three decimal points of your answer.
The National Center of Education Statistics conducted a survey
of high school seniors, collecting test data on reading, writing,
and several other subjects. Here we examine a simple random sample
of 200 students from this survey. Side-by-side box plots of reading
and writing scores as well as a histogram of the differences in
scores are shown below.(a) Is there a clear difference in the average reading and
writing scores?(b) Are the reading and writing scores of each student
independent of...
11. High School Standardized Test Past experience indicates that
the time required for high school seniors to complete a
standardized test is a normal random variable with a mean of 35
minutes (normally distributed). If a random sample of 30 high
school seniors took an average of 33.5 minutes to complete this
test with a standard deviation of 4 minutes, test the hypothesis,
at the 0.05 level of significance, that u = 35 minutes against the
alternative that u <35...
Large Sample Proportion Problem. A survey was
conducted on high school marijuana use. Of the 2266 high school
students surveyed, 970 admitted to smoking marijuana at least
once. A study done 10 years earlier estimated that 45%
of the students had tried marijuana. We want to conduct a
hypothesis test to see if the true proportion of high school
students who tried marijuana is now less than 45%. Use
alpha = .01.
What is the conclusion for this test?
