  1. Ramilda wants to see if other students in her class listen to podcasts for a longer amount of time than students across the country. She collects data from twenty students in her class concerning the number of minutes per day they listen to podcasts. On average people in the United States listen to podcasts for 93 minutes per day. The data from her participants are summarized below:

Two professors at a local college developed a new teaching curriculum designed to increase​ students' grades in math classes. In a typical developmental math​ course, 53​% of the students complete the course with a letter grade of​ A, B, or C. In the experimental​ course, of the 14 students​ enrolled, 11 completed the course with a letter grade of​ A, B, or C. Is the experimental course effective at the alpha equals 0.01 level of​ significance? Complete parts ​(a) through​ (g).

​(a) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

​(b) Verify that the normal model may not be used to estimate the​ P-value.

​(c) Explain why this is a binomial experiment

(d) Determine the​ P-value using the binomial probability distribution. State your conclusion to the hypothesis test.

​(e) Suppose the course is taught with 4242 students and 3333 complete the course with a letter grade of​ A, B, or C. Verify whether the normal model may now be used to estimate the​ P-value

(f) Use the normal model to obtain and interpret the​ P-value. State your conclusion to the hypothesis test.

(g) Explain the role that sample size plays in the ability to reject statements in the null hypothesis.

1. (20 points) Susan Sound predicts that students will learn most effectively with a constant background sound, as opposed to an unpredictable sound. She randomly divides 15 students into 2 groups of 7 and 8 each. All students study a passage of text for 30 minutes. Those in group 1 study with background sound at a constant volume in the background. Those in group 2 study with noise that changes volume periodically. After studying, all students take a 10 point multiple choice test over the material. Their scores have the following test statistics.

Dr. Palpatine teaches statistics at Coruscant University. He believes there are three types of classes he may encounter:

(P) Poor classes, where only 70% of the students will be able to pass exam 1 in the course.

(A) Average classes, where 85% of the students will be able to pass exam 1.

(G) Good classes, where 95% of the students will be able to pass exam 1.

Assuming Palpatine teaches a class of 35 students...

If the class is poor (P), what is the probability that exactly 30 of them will pass (E), that is what is P(E|P)? _______

If the class is average (A), what is the probability that exactly 30 of them will pass (E), that is what is P(E|A)? _______

If the class is average (G), what is the probability that exactly 30 of them will pass (E), that is what is P(E|G)? _______

Now suppose that Palpatine initially believed the probability that his class was poor, average, and good was 25%, 50%, and 25% respectively. Use Bayes' Rule and the results above to find P(G|E), the probability his class is a good one (G) given the evidence E that exactly 30 of them passed the first exam. ______

4. Cost-benefit analysis

A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing.

For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is   and   . Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good.

Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $4,420. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 260 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $13.

The benefit of the beautification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is. Because the estimated benefit is   than the cost, the college administrators   undertake the beautification initiative.

The calculation of the benefit of the beautification initiative relied on the ability of the administrators to capture the true willingness to pay of each student accurately.

Which of the following scenarios would cause the survey used by the college administrators to yield misleading data on willingness to pay? Check all that apply.

Students are surveyed at random, using conventional survey and data-gathering methods.

Students believe they will eventually be charged their willingness to pay.

The College Board provided comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker's parents. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT. The overall mean SAT math score was 514.† SAT math scores for independent samples of students follow. The first sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree. The second sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree.

At a local business school, it is typical for some fraction of students to pass an Accounting certification exam. Recently, funding was used to develop a new program that was designed to increase the proportion of students who pass the exam. The school that developed this program studied 475 students and found that the percentage of students who passed the certification increased to 72% with a 95% confidence interval of [.68, .76]. The hypothesis test, H0: No improvement / same rate as always vs. H1: The intervention changed the passing rate, was rejected with a p-value of .046.  

  1. Explain what the​ p-value means in this context.
    1. Someone says that they thought that the original pass rate was 67%. If that were true, what would you tell them about the efficacy of the program? Phrase the conclusion properly.

    2. If the alternative hypothesis had been, H1: The intervention increased the passing rate, would the p-value change? If so, how? Would you more or less strongly recommend adoption of the new program?   

    3. Even though this program has been shown to be better​ in that it is “statistically significant”, are there reasons that the school should not adopt it?

    4. What is the relationship between the p-value and the confidence interval?

Design a program which uses functions to sort a list and perform a binary search. Your program should:

Iinitialize an unsorted list (using the list provided)

Display the unsorted list

Sort the list

Display the sorted list.

Set up a loop to ask the user for a name, perform a binary search, and then report if the name is in the list. Use a sentinel value to end the loop.

Do not use the Python built in sort function to sort the list, instead write one or more functions to implement either the bubble sort or insertion sort (you choose the one you want to implement). The algorithms for the bubble sort and insertion sort are provided in the Word document attachment.

Implement the binary search algorithm as a function. Algorithms are provided in the Word document attachment for an iterative version or recursive version of the binary search. You choose the one you want to implement.

Use this test list: [ 'Paul', 'Aaron', 'Jacob', 'James', 'Bill', 'Sara', 'Cathy', 'Barbara', 'Amy', 'Jill' ]
