4. A free-to-air TV news bulletin asked viewers to phone in their response to the question: “Is the Federal government doing enough about climate change?” Respondents dialled different numbers to register “yes” or “no” answers.

   (a) Why would it be wrong for the TV station to interpret the results of the survey as an indication of “public opinion”? (b) Identify at least two sources of bias in this survey, explaining how the bias arises in each case.   (c) Giving brief reasons in each case, indicate whether MAS183 students are likely to be representative of Murdoch University students in relation to – (i) their brand of mobile phone. (ii) attitudes to public policy on climate change

The expected distribution (from previous years) on an exam roughly follows a normal curve in which the highest scoring 2.5% of the students get As; the next highest scoring 14%, Bs; the next 67%, Cs; the next 14%, Ds; and the lowest 2.5%, Fs.

A class takes a test using a new grading system and 10 students get As, 34 get Bs, 140 get Cs, 10 get Ds, 6 get Fs. Can you conclude that the new system produces a different distribution of grades using .01 level?

Give: null, alternative, chi-square statistic, chi-square critical, decision, and conclusion.

The following data are the monthly salaries y and the grade point averages x for students who obtained a bachelor's degree in business administration.

The estimated regression equation for these data is y^ = -464.3 + 1285.7x and MSE = 259,464

a. Develop a point estimate of the starting salary for a student with a GPA of 3.0 (to 1 decimal).
  

b. Develop a  confidence interval for the mean starting salary for all students with a 3.0 GPA (to 2 decimals).

c. Develop a  prediction interval for Ryan Dailey, a student with a GPA of 3.0 (to 2 decimals).

The students in one college have the following rating system for their professors:excellent, good, fair, and bad. In a recent poll of the students, it was found that they believe that 20% of the professors are excellent, 50% are good, 20% are fair, and 10% are bad. Assume that 12 professors are randomly selected from the college.
a. What is the probability that 6 are excellent, 4 are good, 1 is fair, and 1 is bad?
b. What is the probability that 6 are excellent, 4 are good, and 2 are fair?
c. What is the probability that 6 are excellent and 6 are good?
d. What is the probability that 4 are excellent and 3 are good?
e. What is the probability that 4 are bad?
f. What is the probability that none is bad?

Hypothesis Tests with Z-statistics

Students in a physics class have an average of 73 on exams with a standard deviation of 12. The teacher is testing a whether having open book exams will help her students get better scores. After 6 open book exams, her class has an average of 76.5 on the exams.

a. Who are the groups being compared/tested?
b. What are the null and research hypotheses?
c. what are the numbers needed for the z statistic?
d. What is the z statistic?
e. For a two tailed test at .05 significance, the critical area is +/- 1.96. What decision do we make?

Students in a seventh-grade class were given an exam. During the next 2 years, the same students were retested several times. The average score g can be approximated by the model

g(t) = 81 − 13 log₁₀(t + 1),    0 ≤ t ≤ 24

where t is the time (in months).

(a) What was the average score on the original exam? ???


(b) What was the average score after 6 months? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) ???


(c) When did the average score drop below 70? (Round your answer to the nearest month.)

The average score dropped below 70 after ??? months.
