The average GPA of a random sample of 18 college students who
take evening classes was calculated to be 2.94 with a standard
deviation of 0.04. The average GPA of a random sample of 12 college
students who take daytime classes was calculated to be 2.89 with a
standard deviation of 0.05. Test the claim that the mean GPA of
night students is larger than the mean GPA of day students at the
.01 significance level.

Is it true that students tend to gain weight during their first year in college? Cornell Professor of Nutrition David Levitsky recruited students from two large sections of an introductory health course. Although they were volunteers, they appeared to match the rest of the freshman class in terms of demographic variables such as sex and ethnicity. The students were weighed during the first week of the semester, then again 12 weeks later at the end of the semester (weights are in pounds).

1) Construct a dotplot depicting the distribution of the change in the students’ weights from the beginning of the semester to the end of the semester.
2)Suppose Professor Levitsky wishes to use the data he collected from his students in a research paper. He wants to prove freshman students tend to gain weight during their first semester in college.
Frame this research question as a hypothesis testing problem. Identify the parameter being tested, the null value, and explicitly write out the null and alternative hypothesis in terms of the parameter and null value.

1) Are unnecessary c-sections putting moms and babies health at risk? The procedure is a major surgery which increases risks for the baby (breathing problems and surgical injuries) and for the mother (infection, hemorrhaging, and risks to future pregnancies). According to the Center for disease control and prevention, about 32.2% of all babies born in the U.S. are born via c-section. The World Health Organization recommends that the US reduce this rate by 10%.
Some states have already been working towards this. Suspecting that certain states have lower rates than 32.2%, researchers randomly select 1200 babies from Wisconsin and find that 20.8% of the sampled babies were born via c-section.
Let p be the proportion of all babies in the U.S. that are born via c-section. Give the null and alternative hypotheses for this research question.
1) H0: p = .322
Ha: p < .322
2) H0: p = .322
Ha: p ≠ .322
3) H0: p = .208
Ha: p ≠ .208
4) H0: p < .322
Ha: p = .322
5) H0: p = .322
Ha: p > .322
2) A quality control engineer at a potato chip company tests the bag filling machine by weighing bags of potato chips. Not every bag contains exactly the same weight. But if more than 15% of bags are over-filled then they stop production to fix the machine.
They define over-filled to be more than 1 ounce above the weight on the package. The engineer weighs 100 bags and finds that 31 of them are over-filled.
He plans to test the hypotheses: H0: p = 0.15 versus Ha: p > 0.15 (where p is the true proportion of overfilled bags).
What is the test statistic?
1) 4.48
2) 3.46
3) -3.46
3) According to a Pew Research Center, in May 2011, 35% of all American adults had a smartphone (one which the user can use to read email and surf the Internet). A communications professor at a university believes this percentage is higher among community college students.
She selects 300 community college students at random and finds that 126 of them have a smartphone. In testing the hypotheses: H0: p = 0.35 versus Ha: p > 0.35, she calculates the test statistic as Z = 2.54.
Use the Normal Table to help answer the p-value part of this question.
1) There is enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smartphone (P-value = 0.0055).
2) There is not enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smartphone (P-value = 0.9945).
3) There is not enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smartphone (P-value = 0.011).
4) There is not enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smartphone (P-value = 0.0055).

What is the relationship between the amount of time statistics students study per week and their test scores? The results of the survey are shown below. Time 2 5 9 1 4 11 13 11 13 Score 60 61 70 49 72 84 76 80 83 Find the correlation coefficient: r = Round to 2 decimal places. The null and alternative hypotheses for correlation are: H 0 : = 0 H 1 : ≠ 0 The p-value is: (Round to four decimal places) Use a level of significance of α = 0.05 to state the conclusion of the hypothesis test in the context of the study. There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that a student who spends more time studying will score higher on the test than a student who spends less time studying. There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the time spent studying and the score on the test. Thus, the use of the regression line is not appropriate. There is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that a student who spends more time studying will score higher on the test than a student who spends less time studying. There is statistically significant evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between the time spent studying and the score on the test. Thus, the regression line is useful. r 2 = (Round to two decimal places) Interpret r 2 : There is a 78% chance that the regression line will be a good predictor for the test score based on the time spent studying. Given any group that spends a fixed amount of time studying per week, 78% of all of those students will receive the predicted score on the test. There is a large variation in the test scores that students receive, but if you only look at students who spend a fixed amount of time studying per week, this variation on average is reduced by 78%. 78% of all students will receive the average score on the test. The equation of the linear regression line is: ˆ y = + x (Please show your answers to two decimal places) Use the model to predict the test score for a student who spends 9 hours per week studying. Test score = (Please round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Interpret the slope of the regression line in the context of the question: For every additional hour per week students spend studying, they tend to score on average 2.22 higher on the test. The slope has no practical meaning since you cannot predict what any individual student will score on the test. As x goes up, y goes up. Interpret the y-intercept in the context of the question: The average test score is predicted to be 54. The best prediction for a student who doesn't study at all is that the student will score 54 on the test. If a student does not study at all, then that student will score 54 on the test. The y-intercept has no practical meaning for this study.

The situation is as follows:
Rent and other associated housing costs, such as utilities, are an
important part of the estimated costs of attendance at college. A
group of researchers at the BYU Off-Campus Housing department want
to estimate the mean monthly rent that unmarried BYU students paid
during Winter 2019. During March 2019, they randomly sampled 366
BYU students and found that on average, students paid $348 for rent
with a standard deviation of $76. The plot of the sample data
showed no extreme skewness or outliers.
Calculate a 98% confidence interval estimate for the mean
monthly rent of all unmarried BYU students in Winter 2019.
