In 2007, the United States had 1.5 million homeschooled students, according to the U.S. National Center for Education Statistics. In Table 11.56 you can see that parents decide to homeschool their children for different reasons, and some reasons are ranked by parents as more important than others. According to the survey results shown in the table, is the distribution of applicable reasons the same as the distribution of the most important reason? Provide your assessment at the
5% significance level. Did you expect the result you obtained?
A sample of students is taken. Of the students surveyed,were music students, while were not. Ninetyseven were on the honor roll, while were not. If we assume being a music student and being on the honor roll are independent events, what is the expected number of music students who are also on the honor roll?
The manager of "Frenchies" is concerned that patrons are not consistently receiving the same amount of French fries with each order. The chef claims that the standard deviation for a ten-ounce order of fries is at most oz., but the manager thinks that it may be higher. He randomly weighs orders of fries, which yields a mean of oz. and a standard deviation of two oz.
What is the test statistic?
Suppose an airline claims that its flights are consistently on time with an average delay of at most minutes. It claims that the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no more than minutes. Doubting the consistency part of the claim, a disgruntled traveler calculates the delays for his next flights. The average delay for those flights is minutes with a standard deviation of minutes.
If an additional test were done on the claim of the average delay, but 45 flights were surveyed, which distribution would you use?
