A researcher is interested in determining if the more than two thirds of students would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday. The researcher asks 1,000 random selected students if they would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday. Seven hundred students said that they would support the extra holiday.

Define the parameter.

a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

b. phat = the sample proportion of 700 UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

c. phat = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

d. p = the population proportion of 700 UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

A researcher wishes to prove that less than 40% of students support the changes announced by the Ford government in January 2019 to tuition, the Ontario Student Assistance Program, and student fees. If 32% of all students support the changes, what is the chance that a random sample of 250 students provides insufficient proof to meet a 5% significance level? In other words, what is the probability of a Type II error? Answer with hypotheses in formal notation, TWO fully-labelled...

3) A researcher is interested in studying whether or not baseball players are more superstitious than people in general. The population has an average score of 4.3 (SD = 1.9) on the superstitious scale. A sample of 36 baseball players scored an average of 4.7 on the superstitious scale. What does the distribution of sample means for this scenario consist of? What would we conclude and explain your decision using the distribution of sample means in your explanation.

A. A researcher was interested in comparing the GPAs of students at two different colleges. Independent simple random samples of 8 students from college A and 13 students from college B yielded the following results. The mean GPA for college A was x1 = 3.11, with a standard deviation s1 = 0.44. The GPA for college B was 2 = 3.44, with a standard deviation s2 = 0.55. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference, µ1-µ2 between the mean...
