The national average of college students on a test of sports trivia is 50 with a standard deviation of 5. A sportscaster is interested in whether BC students know less about sports than the national average. The sportscaster tests a random sample of 25 BC students and obtains a mean of 48 Use an alpha level of 0.05.

1. State the z score(s) that form the boundaries of the critical region. Use an alpha level of 0.05.

2. Calculate the standard error

3. Calculate the z score

4. What decision would you make? Fail to reject the null hypothesis or Reject the null hypothesis

5. What can the researcher conclude? Let’s say in the above example that the BC average on the sports trivia test was 52 resulting in a z score of +2.0. What decision would the researcher make? Fail to reject the null hypothesis? or reject the null hypothesis?

6. Why did you make that decision in Question 5?

Create and test an HTML document for yourself, including your name,

At carnivals and entertainment parks, there is a popular game of horse-racing. Each player has a movable horse on the display whose number corresponds to his or her alley number. The game consists of rolling a ball up an alley, where it can land in one of 15 holes. The holes are colored according to the graphic in the margin. If your ball lands in a red hole, your horse advances one space. If it lands in yellow, your horse advances two spaces, and if it lands in green, your horse gallops ahead three spaces. After your ball goes in the hole, it returns to you for your next roll. The first horse that moves 12 spaces is the winner, and the jockey, the person rolling the ball, receives a stuffed animal as a prize. One customer is at the game, bragging that he always wins after eight rolls. You look over the game and estimate that you have a 40% chance of getting the ball in a red hole, a 30% chance of getting it in a yellow hole, and a 20% chance of getting it in a green hole. There is also a 10% chance that you miss the holes, and your ball returns to you without advancing the horse. Based on your estimates of the probabilities, is it worthwhile to play the game against the bragging customer? What is the chance you will win by the eighth roll? EXCEL SHEET formulas!

1. Explain the difference between a closed-ended question, an open-ended question, and
a probing question. When would you use each?
2. Explain the difference between a top-down and bottom- up interview approach. When
would you use each approach?
3. Draw a use case diagram for the following dentist office system, but do not bother to
identify the flow of events within each use case. Whenever new patients are seen for
the first time, they complete a patient information form that asks their name,
address, phone number and brief medical history, which are stored in the patient
information file. When a patient calls to schedule a new appointment or change an
existing appointment, the receptionist checks the appointment file for an available
time. Once a good time is found for the patient, the appointment is scheduled. If the
patient is a new patient, an incomplete entry is made in the patient file; the full
information will be collected when they arrive for their appointment. Because
appointments are often made so far in advance, the receptionist usually mails a
reminder postcard to each patient two weeks before their appointment.
4. Create an activity diagram for the dentist office system in previous question.
5. Create one detail use-case description for the dentist office system in previous
question.
