Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress administers standardized achievement tests to nationwide samples of 17-year-olds in school One year the tests covered history and literature You may assume that a simple random sample of size 6000 was taken Only 361 of the students in the sample knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales but 952 knew that Edison invented the light bulb

1 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

2 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Edison invented the light bulb Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Question 1 The Accuracy of Percentages (20 Points)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress administers standardized achievement tests to nationwide samples of 17-year-olds in school One year the tests covered history and literature You may assume that a simple random sample of size 6000 was taken Only 361 of the students in the sample knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales but 952 knew that Edison invented the light bulb

1 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

2 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Edison invented the light bulb Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Percentages (20 Points)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress administers standardized achievement tests to nationwide samples of 17-year-olds in school One year the tests covered history and literature You may assume that a simple random sample of size 6000 was taken Only 361 of the students in the sample knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales but 952 knew that Edison invented the light bulb

1 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

2 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Edison invented the light bulb Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

Question 1 The Accuracy of Percentages (20 Points)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress administers standardized achievement tests to nationwide samples of 17-year-olds in school One year the tests covered history and literature You may assume that a simple random sample of size 6000 was taken Only 361 of the students in the sample knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales but 952 knew that Edison invented the light bulb

1 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

2 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Edison invented the light bulb Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Percentages (20 Points)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress administers standardized achievement tests to nationwide samples of 17-year-olds in school One year the tests covered history and literature You may assume that a simple random sample of size 6000 was taken Only 361 of the students in the sample knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales but 952 knew that Edison invented the light bulb

1 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

2 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Edison invented the light bulb Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Percentages (20 Points)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress administers standardized achievement tests to nationwide samples of 17-year-olds in school One year the tests covered history and literature You may assume that a simple random sample of size 6000 was taken Only 361 of the students in the sample knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales but 952 knew that Edison invented the light bulb

1 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

2 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Edison invented the light bulb Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Percentages (20 Points)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress administers standardized achievement tests to nationwide samples of 17-year-olds in school One year the tests covered history and literature You may assume that a simple random sample of size 6000 was taken Only 361 of the students in the sample knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales but 952 knew that Edison invented the light bulb

1 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

2 (10 Points) Is it possible to find a 95 confidence interval for the percentage of all 17-year-olds in school who knew that Edison invented the light bulb Yes or No - Circle your answer If yes calculate this CI (and show your work) If no clearly indicate why this is not possible

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 The Accuracy of Averages (20 Points)

One year there were about 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US (including junior colleges and community colleges) As part of a continuing study of higher educashytion the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 400 of these institutions The average enrollment in the 400 sample schools was 3700 and the SD was 6500 The Commission estimates the average enrollment at all 3000 institutions to be around 3700 they put a give-or-take number of 325 on this estimate

Say whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain If you need more information to decide say what you need and why

1 (4 Points) An approximate 68-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 3000 institutions runs from 3375 to 4025

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

2 (4 Points) If a statistician takes a simple random sample of 400 institutions out of 3000 and goes one SE either way from the average enrollment of the 400 samshyple schools there is about a 68 chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 3000 schools

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Please turn over

1

3 (4 Points) About 68 of the schools in the sample had enrollments in the range 3700 plusmn 6500

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

4 (4 Points) It is estimated that 68 of the 3000 institutions of higher learning in the US enrolled between 3700 - 325 = 3375 and 3700 + 325 = 4025 students

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

5 (4 Points) The normal curve cant be used to figure confidence levels here at all because the data dont follow the normal curve

Yes No or Need more information Circle your answer and explain

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)

Question 1 Tests of Significance I (20 Points)

A random sample of 18 Penn State students was selected The nose length of each student was measured in millimeters and was recorded in the following data set

41 57 43 42 55 35 36 40 45 55 55 36 45 44 45 47 37 48

A student thinks that the average nose length of Penn State students is fairly large He thinks that the average nose length could be more than 44 millimeters Does this sample of 18 students provide evidence to suggest that the average nose length is more than 44 millimeters State the null and the alternative hypothesis calculate the test statistic (after finding the average and SD of the sample) obtain the P-value and clearly state your conclusions Assume that the nose lengths follow the normal curve

Indicate whether this is a z-test t-test or 2-sample z-test Circle your answer and explain why you have chosen that test (If we cannot conduct a test state so and explain why not)
