In an effort to get a better understanding of the factors affecting a high school student choice of college selection, 600 students were reported to apply for college admission from Sacramento county and they were asked to provide information on SAT scores and parent’s income. Portion of that data is reported in the table below. Use Chi-square test to examine how the categorical variable parent’s income affects the choice of professional degree among those who have applied for admission. Run the Chi square test and answer the three parts.

The researcher wants to test whether the mean weight of all high school students in the state

​(μ​)

would be

70

kg or not.

​So, the null and the alternative hypotheses for the test the researcher wants to conduct​ are:

A.The​ researcher's null hypothesis is

H0: μ=70

and the alternative hypothesis is

HA: μ≠70.

Your answer is correct.

B.The​ researcher's null hypothesis is

H0: μ≥70

and the alternative hypothesis is

HA: μ≤70.

C.The​ researcher's null hypothesis is

H0: μ=70

and the alternative hypothesis is

HA: μ≥70.

D.The​ researcher's null hypothesis is

H0: μ≥70

and the alternative hypothesis is

HA: μ≠70.

For a prespecified​ 5% significance​ level, the

p​-value

of the test the researcher wants to conduct is

nothing.

A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, 6.00 m above the street below. The vertical wall of the building is 7.00 m high, forming a 1.00 m high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of 53.0° above the horizontal at a point 28.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.10 s to reach a point vertically above the wall.

(a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched.
m/s

(b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall.
m

(c) Find the distance from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands.

A study was conducted to estimate the difference in the mean salaries of elementary school teachers from two neighboring states. A sample of 10 teachers from the Indiana had a mean salary of $28,900 with a standard deviation of $2300. A sample of 14 teachers from Michigan had a mean salary of $30,300 with a standard deviation of $2100. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean salary in Indiana and Michigan.(Assume population variances are different.)

*Include null and alternate hypothesis, a p-value, and a conclusion PRIVATE about the null hypothesis*

You are at one of your clinical placements with a school nurse. A parent walks into the office and asks to speak to the nurse. The school nurse introduces you to the parent and offers your assistance. The parent says, “My son is John Smith. He is 8 years old and a student in Mr. Albright’s class. The doctor put him on Ritalin. I’m not sure how I feel about this. He has been on it for 10 days now. I have some questions I’d like to ask you.”

  1. The parent continues, “John weighs 62 pounds. My friend’s son went on Ritalin and lost weight. Do you think this will happen to John?” How should you respond?
  2. John’s parent says, “You know, John doesn’t seem much better to me. He doesn’t want to take the pills, so I give him a treat to persuade him to take them. In the morning I give him the Ritalin with a hot cup of tea with sugar because he likes hot tea. At night, before he goes to bed, I give him the Ritalin with hot chocolate because he likes that, too. He doesn’t sleep; he’s up until 2:00 a.m. Why aren’t the pills making it easier for him to sleep?” How should you respond?
  3. The parent states, “I’m just going to stop the pills. I don’t care what the doctor says. I think the pills aren’t good for him.” How should you respond?
