Seven hundred and seventy-one distance learning students at Long Beach City College, located in Long Beach, California (part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area) responded to surveys in the 2010-11 academic year. Highlights of the summary report are listed in the table below:

Have computer at home	96%
Unable to come to campus for classes	65%
Age 41 or over	24%
Would like LBCC to offer more DL courses	95%
Took DL classes due to a disability	17%
Live at least 16 miles from campus	13%
Took DL courses to fulfill transfer requirements	71%

What percent of the students surveyed do not have a computer at home?
About how many students in the survey live at least 16 miles from campus?
If the same survey were done at Great Basin College in Elko, Nevada, do you think the percentages would be the same? Why?

Expert Solution

Categories	%	Freq
Have comp at home	96%	740.16
Unable to come	65%	501.15
Age 41 or over	24%	185.04
Would like to be offered more	95%	732.45
Classes due to disability	17%	131.07
at least 16 miles away	13%	100.23
Courses to fulfil transfer	71%	547.41

What percent of the students surveyed do not have a computer at home?

If considering out 100% students if 96% have the computer then (100 - 96)% will not have. Therefore

4% percent of the students surveyed do not have a computer at home.

About how many students in the survey live at least 16 miles from campus?

For find a number, we have been given that total number of students are 771. Each of the categories have a % value. This percentage represents proportion of of 771 students. So multiplying % * 771, we will arrive at the frequency.

live at least 16 miles from campus = 13% * 771

live at least 16 miles from campus = 100.23

If the same survey were done at Great Basin College in Elko, Nevada, do you think the percentages would be the same? Why?

The population of the students there is separate from the population here. This will lead to different results since the college would provide different facilities. The preferences of the student would vary along with their number.

4) Long Beach, CA has a city center that is located on the waterfront. If sea-level increases submerge a portion of the city center, then we expect that Select one: a. there will be excess labor supply b. household bids for residential land will shift upward c. wages will increase d. the residential territory will grow 5) Suppose we have a monocentric city. If a zoning policy is enacted that limits the height of buildings at the city center to...

A survey was conducted to see if community college students preferred asynchronous distance learning (where learningoccurs through online channels without real-time interaction) or synchronous distance learning (where learning happens in real time, perhaps on Skype or Zoom). Of the 250 students surveyed, 100 preferred asynchronous distance learning and 150 preferred synchronous distance learning. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who prefer asynchronous distance learning. The local newspaper reported on the results of the survey by saying...

Ocean City is a vacation beach community one mile long, with all of its 1,000 daily vacationers evenly distributed along the beach and boardwalk. At each end of the boardwalk is an urgent care clinic specializing in the treatment of jellyfish stings. The clinic on the south end of the boardwalk is Clinic S and the one on the north end of the boardwalk is Clinic N. On any given day, there is a 10% chance of being stung by...

Question 4: Learning and memory: College students and life-long learners (such as professors) need to optimize their learning and memory capabilities. Describe the two basic mechanisms by which the circadian timing system influences learning and memory, including an example of each one. Also, based on what we have studied in this course, describe some of the ways in which you could enhance your cognitive skills by making adjustments in your daily habits and lifestyle that affect your circadian rhythms and...

You took independent random samples of 20 students at City College and 25 students at SF State. You asked each student how many sodas they drank over the course of a year. The sample mean at City College was 80 and the sample standard deviation was 10. At State the sample mean was 90 and the sample standard deviation was 15. Use a subscript of c for City College and a subscript of s for State. Calculate a point estimate...
