Drew wondered if the average age of students in AP Statistics classes in his high school is under 18. He randomly selected 10 AP Statistics students in his school and the data set is given below. Using the information from a previous survey, he has concluded that the population standard deviation for the age of AP Statistics students in his school is 1.23. Assume that the ages of students in AP Statistics classes in this high school are normally distributed.

17 19 18 17 15 18 16 17 17 16

A calculator was used to determine the p-value for this hypothesis test. The p-value was 0.005. If the level of significance was 0.01, interpret the results.

The p-value, 0.005, is less than the level of significance, 0.01. Reject the null hypothesis that the mean age is 18. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age is under 18.

The p-value, 0.005, is less than the level of significance, 0.01. Reject the null hypothesis that the mean age is 18. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age is under 18.

The p-value, 0.005, is less than the level of significance, 0.01. Do not reject the null hypothesis that the mean age is 18. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age is under 18.

The p-value, 0.005, is less than the level of significance, 0.01. Do not reject the null hypothesis that the mean age is 18. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age is under 18.

A high school physics teacher wondered if his students in the senior class this year will be more likely to go into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) majors than Social Science and Liberal Arts majors. He asked each of his 65 students about their first choice for major on their college applications and conducted a Chi-square test for goodness of fit with an alpha level of .05 to see if the number of students choosing each category differs significantly. 35...

About 130,000 high school students took the AP Statistics exam in 2010. The free-response section of the exam consisted of five open-ended problems and an investigative task. Each free-response question is scored on a 0 to 4 scale (with 4 being the best). For one of the problems, a random sample of 30 student papers yielded the scores that are graphed in the dot plot of part (a) in the previous problem. The mean score for this sample is x̄...

Many high school students take the AP tests in different subject areas. In 2007, of the 143044 students who took the AP biology exam 76712 of them were female. In that same year, of the 211993 students who took the AP calculus AB exam 100106 of them were female. Is there enough evidence to show that the proportion of AP biology exam takers who are female is higher than the proportion of AP calculus AB exam takers who are female?...

Fremont High School has 2100 students. One of the statistics teachers at the school is interested in whether an intervention program based on self-management improves attendance. They randomly choose 80 students and randomly assign half of them to either an experimental condition (self- management class) or a control condition (distractor class on popular culture). At the end of the semester, they measure the number of days missed for each student. The teacher expects that the students in the self-management class...
