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.

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...
