The reading speed of second grade students in a large city is approximately normal, with a mean of 89 words per minute (wpm) and a standard deviation of 10 wpm. A teacher instituted a new reading program at school.
After 10 weeks in the program, it was found that the mean reading speed of a random sample of 22 second grade students was 91.2 wpm. What might you conclude based on this result?
Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes within your choice. (Type integers or decimals rounded to four decimal places as needed.)
A. A mean reading rate of 91.2 wpm is not unusual since the probability of obtaining a result of 91.2 wpm or more is ____. This means that we would expect a mean reading rate of 91.2 or higher from a population whose mean reading rate is 89 in _____ of every 100 random samples of size n=22 students. The new program is not abundantly more effective than the old program.
B. A mean reading rate of 91.2 wpm is unusual since the probability of obtaining a result of 91.2 wpm or more is ______. This means that we would expect a mean reading rate of 91.2 or higher from a population whose mean reading rate is 89 in _____ of every 100 random samples of size n=22 students. The new program is abundantly more effective than the old program.

Find the mean, mod, median, and standard deviation of the following data. And Based on these results, check whether the value of 10 is usual? 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,8,7,8 _________________________________________________________________________ Pre-Employment Drug Screening Results are shown in the following Table: Positive Test Result Negative Test Result Subject Uses Drugs 8 (True Positive) 2 (False Negative) Subject is not a Drug User 10 (False Positive) 180 (True Negative) If 1 of the 200 test subjects is randomly selected, find the probability that the subject had a positive test result, given that the subject actually uses drugs. That is, find (positive test result subject uses drugs). If 1 of the 200 test subjects is randomly selected, find the probability that the subject actually uses drugs, given that he or she had a positive test result. That is, find ( subject uses drugs positive test result ). _______________________________________________________________________ This is observation from previous years about the impact of students working while they are enrolled in classes, due to students too much work, they are spending less time on their classes. First, the observer need to find out, on average, how many hours a week students are working. They know from previous studies that the standard deviation of this variable is about 5 hours. A survey of 200 students provides a sample mean of 7.10 hours worked. What is a 95% confidence interval based on this sample?

A study was designed to compare the attitudes of two groups of nursing students towards computers. Group 1 had previously taken a statistical methods course that involved significant computer interaction. Group 2 had taken a statistic methods course that did not use computers. The students' attitudes were measured by administering the Computer Anxiety Rating Scale (CARS). A random sample of 10 nursing students from Group 1 resulted in a mean score of 65.8 with a standard deviation of 5.1. A random sample of 16 nursing students from Group 2 resulted in a mean score of 70.4 with a standard deviation of 7.6. Can you conclude that the mean score for Group 1 is significantly lower than the mean score for Group 2? Let μ1 represent the mean score for Group 1 and μ2 represent the mean score for Group 2. Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.
Step 1 of 4: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
Step 2 of 4: Compute the value of the t test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Step 3 of 4: Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis H0. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Step 4 of 4: State the test's conclusion.

The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 62 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below:
| Fixed Cost per Month | Cost per Course | Cost per Student |
|||||
| Instructor wages | $ | 2,970 | |||||
| Classroom supplies | $ | 290 | |||||
| Utilities | $ | 1,200 | $ | 75 | |||
| Campus rent | $ | 4,800 | |||||
| Insurance | $ | 2,400 | |||||
| Administrative expenses | $ | 3,700 | $ | 40 | $ | 5 | |
For example, administrative expenses should be $3,700 per month plus $40 per course plus $5 per student. The company’s sales should average $880 per student.
The company planned to run four courses with a total of 62 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 52 students. The actual operating results for September appear below:

| Utilities | $ | 1,910 |
| Campus rent | $ | 4,800 |
| Insurance | $ | 2,540 |
| Administrative expenses | $ | 3,596 |
Required:
1. Prepare the company’s planning budget for September.
2. Prepare the company’s flexible budget for September.
3. Calculate the revenue and spending variances for September.

During this course you will design a program for a state university. The university needs a website design that will enable students to order books online. Each week you will receive additional instructions for the elements of the design based on the needs of the university. The elements will correspond with the concepts and skills you learn that week.
According to the university's website design request, students need to order five books, one for each of the five required courses that all students take. You need to design a program that will prompt students for the price of each book and display the total cost for the five books.
