Some people are concerned that new tougher standards and​ high-stakes tests adopted in many states have driven up the high school dropout rate. The National Center for Education Statistics reported that the high school dropout rate for the year 2014 was 6.5​%. One school district whose dropout rate has always been very close to the national average reports that 125 of their 1767 high school students dropped out last year. Is this evidence that their dropout rate may be​ increasing? Explain.

Compute the test statistic?

​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

What is the P-value

(A) Discuss the probability of landing on heads if you flipped a coin 10 times?

(B) What is the probability the coin will land on heads on each of the 10 coin flips?

(C) Apply this same binomial experiment to a different real-world situation. Describe a situation involving probability?

please explain each and show work. showing the steps to the answer would be great..

Please think of an example of a value that you have seen or heard recently, and then tell us if this is qualitative or quantitative, is it discrete or continuous, and is it nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio level of measurement. Classmates, do you agree with this categorization? Why or why not? These can be tricky to sort out, so we may have some back-and-forth discussion on these.

An air conditioning company servicing a certain machine room guarantees that the temperature in the room stays below 20o C. Due to malfunctioning of the equipment operating in the machine room, it is suspected that the average temperature actually exceeds 20o for more or less extended periods of time. Seven temperature measurements are collected throughout the day and the following temperatures are observed, 20.8, 20.2, 20.9, 21.5, 22.2, 21.2, 19.8. Assuming that the temperature is at least approximately normally distributed,

a) can you say at a 5% significance level that the room temperature is actually above 20o C?

b) what is the (approximate) p-value for this test? What does it tell you about the conclusion you have just made regarding the room temperature?

c) What is the probability that this test fails to reject Ho even though the true mean temperature is 21o C?

A sample of final exam scores is normally distributed with a mean equal to 23 and a variance equal to 16.

Part (a)

What percentage of scores are between 19 and 27? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Part (b)

What raw score is the cutoff for the top 10% of scores? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

The strategy of the courtroom is a subtle thing. Common sense would say that a criminal who admits guilt is treated more leniently while a defiant criminal gets a harsher sentence. To see if this is actually true, data was gathered from criminal courts to determine if criminals who plead guilty receive lighter sentences than those who plead guilty.

Variables:

a) sentence: Sentence Length (in months).
b) served: Actual sentence served (in months).
c) plea: either a not guilty plea or a guilty plea.

Sentence Served Plea
24 8.75 Not Guilty
33.5 6.5 Not Guilty
25.5 6.5 Gulity
18 12.5 Not Guilty
18.5 11 Gulity
44.5 14.5 Not Guilty
38.5 20 Not Guilty
50.5 22 Not Guilty
12.5 1 Gulity
102 10.75 Gulity
30 1.5 Gulity


Perform a two sample t-test to compare the sentences served by those who plead guilty and those who do not.

State and address all of the assumptions required for the t-test.

Use boxplots to illustrate your data, and describe how they relate to your results.

Do criminals who plead guilty get more lenient treatment than those that plead not guilty? As much as possible, relate your comments to specific results.

The Federal Drug Administration wishes to determine whether the claims that Vitamin C prevents colds has any truth. In a clinical drug trial, 30 subjects were randomly assigned to either the Vitamin C group (receiving a daily supplement of the minimum daily requirement) or the placebo group (who received no supplement but did get a placebo pill). The number of self- reported colds is recorded after three years. Number of colds in 3 years: Vitamin C group: 3, 8, 6, 7, 4, 9, 2, 5, 7, 11, 10, 8, 7, 6, 7 Placebo group: 8, 8, 7, 10, 11, 4, 3, 7, 6, 8, 4, 10, 6, 8,5 The value of the numerator (either + or -) in the t test formula for Problem 3 is _____. Then what is the degrees of freedom and what is the derived t value ? Also, what can be concluded from the statistical analysis and what significance level should be reported?
