For some colleges, there are more applicants than there are openings. This requires colleges to implement a method for selecting students that utilizes criteria believed to predict how well a given student will perform in their college. For example, colleges will use a multiple regression equation that uses high school GPA, test score from the ACT or SAT (college entrance exams), and high school academic ranking (i.e., the quality of the high school) to predict how well a prospective student will do in their college. Describe at least 3 factors/variables you think colleges should use in selecting prospective students into their school. Your initial post must contain at least 10 sentences.

Children of a certain age in the nation have an average weight of 85 with a standard deviation of 9.5 lb. A complaint is made that children are improperly fed in a boarding school. As evidence, a sample of 14 children of the given age is taken from the boarding school with an average weight of 89.44 lb. What can be concluded with an α of 0.05?

a) What is the appropriate test statistic?
-na

z test

one sample t test

independent sample t test

related samples t test

b)
Population:
weight, boarding shcool, children in the nation, feeding method, or children from boarding school
Sample:
---Select---weight, boarding school, children in the nation, feeding method, or children from the boarding school

c) Obtain/compute the appropriate values to make a decision about H0.
(Hint: Make sure to write down the null and alternative hypotheses to help solve the problem.)
critical value = ____; test statistic = __________
Decision: - Reject H0 or Fail to reject H0

d) If appropriate, compute the CI. If not appropriate, input "na" for both spaces below.
[ ____,_________ ]

e) Compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).
If not appropriate, input and select "na" below.
d = ____; Select---na,trivial effect,small effect, medium effect,large effect
r2 = ______;  ---Select---na, trivial effect, small effect, medium effect, large effect

f) Make an interpretation based on the results.

a.The weight of children in the boarding school was significantly higher than the weight of children in the nation. The b.weight of children in the boarding school was significantly lower than the weight of children in the nation.     The c.weight of children in the boarding school was not significantly different than the weight of children in the nation.

The Red Cross has a cafeteria in its headquarters that serves lunch to its employees five days a week. The cafeteria typically serves 500 lunches per day, 5 days per week, although it has the capacity to serve at least twice as many before it would have to invest in new equipment or hire new employees. The cost for the equipment and cafeteria employees is $180,000 per year. The cafeteria’s food costs for each meal served are $1.00, and the cafeteria charges $2.50 per meal. An elementary school next door has heard about the cafeteria and offers to send 200 students a day to the cafeteria and pay the Red Cross $1.50 for each student meal. Should the Red Cross take this offer? Why or why not? (6 points)
