1- Most real estate offers are conditional on the buyer obtaining the necessary financing to complete the purchase. Based on past​ experience, one of​Canada's largest real estate agencies believes that​ 4% of the sales fail because the buyer is unable to obtain the financing approval from their mortgage broker or lender. The real estate agency has recently submitted 60 different​ offers, all of which are conditional on financing.

What is the sampling distribution model of the proportion of clients in this group who may not receive the necessary funding to purchase the​ house? Round to one decimal.

A. Mean​ = 4.0%; standard deviation​ = 0.3%

B. Mean​ = 4.0%; standard deviation​ = 2.5%

C. Mean​ = 96.0%; standard deviation​ = 2.5%

D. Mean​ = 96.0%; standard deviation​ = 0.3%

2- The director of admission of a large university is interested in determining the proportion of students who would like to live on campus in the coming academic year. Rather than examine the records for all​ students, the director randomly selects 150 students and finds that 108 of them would like to live on campus. Using a​ 90% confidence​ interval, what is the estimated true proportion of students who would like to live on campus in the coming academic​ year?

A.0.72​ ± 0.04457

B.0.72​ ± 0.060301

C.0.72​ ± 0.089582

D.0.72​ ± 0.028135

At a student café, there are equal numbers of two types of customers with the following values. The café owner cannot distinguish between the two types of students because many students without early classes arrive early anyway (i.e., she cannot price-discriminate).

Students with Early Classes

Students without Early Classes

Coffee 70 60
Banana 51 101

The marginal cost of coffee is 10 and the marginal cost of a banana is 40.

The café owner is considering three pricing strategies:

1. Mixed bundling: Price bundle of coffee and a banana for 161, or just a coffee for 70.
2. Price separately: Offer coffee at 60, price a banana at 101.
3. Bundle only: Coffee and a banana for 121. Do not offer goods separately.

Assume that if the price of an item or bundle is no more than exactly equal to a student's willingness to pay, then the student will purchase the item or bundle.

For simplicity, assume there is just one student with an early class, and one student without an early class.

Price Strategy

Revenue from Pricing Strategy

Cost from Pricing Strategy

Profit from Pricing Strategy

1. Mixed Bundling
2. Price Separately
3. Bundle Only

Pricing strategy ?  yields the highest profit for the café owner.

Label the following 2-sample tests as: Proportions, Independent, and Dependent (matched-pairs). Determine the null and alternative hypothesis and whether the test is one-tailed or two-tailed. Then explain in detail the reasons behind your answers. You do not have to work the problems out.

1. The pre-test scores for 6 students were: 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8. The post-test scores for the same 6 students were: 7, 6, 7, 7, 9, 9. Is there a statistically significant difference between the two scores if we assume that the post-test scores were higher at the .01 level?

2. One group of 8 students took a pre-test, while another group of 7 students took a post-test. The following are the results: Pre-test: 5,6,4,3,4,6,6,7. Post-test: 6,6,8,7,9,8,8. Is there a difference between pre and post-test scores at the .01 level?

3. Two surveys were conducted asking participants whether they thought the morality of Americans was decaying or not. The percent of those who thought there was a decay in morality was 56% in survey 1, while the percent of those who thought there was a decay in morality was 59.5% in survey 2. Test the claim survey 2's percent was larger at the .05 level.

In a survey of 3025 adults aged 57 through 85​ years, it was found that 85.2​% of them used at least one prescription medication. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below.

a. How many of the 3025 subjects used at least one prescription​ medication?

​(Round to the nearest integer as​ needed.)

b. Construct a​ 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults aged 57 through 85 years who use at least one prescription medication.

= %<p< %

​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

c. What do the results tell us about the proportion of college students who use at least one prescription​ medication?

A. The results tell us that there is a​ 90% probability that the true proportion of college students who use at least one prescription medication is in the interval found in part​ (b).

B. The results tell us nothing about the proportion of college students who use at least one prescription medication.

C. The results tell us​ that, with​ 90% confidence, the probability that a college student uses at least one prescription medication is in the interval found in part​ (b).

D. The results tell us​ that, with​ 90% confidence, the true proportion of college students who use at least one prescription medication is in the interval found in part​ (b).

An SAT prep course claims to improve the test score of students. The table below shows the scores for seven students the first two times they took the verbal SAT. Before taking the SAT for the second time, each student took a course to try to improve his or her verbal SAT scores. Do these results support the claim that the SAT prep course improves the students' verbal SAT scores?

Let d=(verbal SAT scores prior to taking the prep course)−(verbal SAT scores after taking the prep course)d=(verbal SAT scores prior to taking the prep course)−(verbal SAT scores after taking the prep course). Use a significance level of α=0.01α=0.01 for the test. Assume that the verbal SAT scores are normally distributed for the population of students both before and after taking the SAT prep course.

Student 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Score on first SAT 370 380 450 500 360 400 360
Score on second SAT 420 480 500 580 400 460 400

​Full-time college students report spending a mean of 25 hours per week on academic​ activities, both inside and outside the classroom. Assume the standard deviation of time spent on academic activities is 4 hours. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below. a. If you select a random sample of 16 ​full-time college​ students, what is the probability that the mean time spent on academic activities is at least 24 hours per​ week? nothing ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.) b. If you select a random sample of 16 ​full-time college​ students, there is an 80​% chance that the sample mean is less than how many hours per​ week? nothing ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) c. What assumption must you make in order to solve​ (a) and​ (b)? A. The population is symmetrically​ distributed, such that the Central Limit Theorem will likely hold for samples of size 16. B. The sample is symmetrically​ distributed, such that the Central Limit Theorem will likely hold. C. The population is normally distributed. D. The population is uniformly distributed. d. If you select a random sample of 100 ​full-time college​ students, there is an 80​% chance that the sample mean is less than how many hours per​ week? nothing ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.

Required information

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

A recent national survey found that high school students watched an average (mean) of 6.7 DVDs per month with a population standard deviation of 0.80 hour. The distribution of DVDs watched per month follows the normal distribution. A random sample of 40 college students revealed that the mean number of DVDs watched last month was 6.20. At the 0.05 significance level, can we conclude that college students watch fewer DVDs a month than high school students?
