Accepted Answer

$$101.83 \pm 1.96 	imes \frac{15}{\sqrt{144}}$$

Question 13

A random sample of 250 UMD students found that 167 indicated they live off campus. What is the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of UMD students who live off campus?

$$\hat{p} \pm 1.96 	imes \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{250}}$$

Question 14

Eden and Illa collected data from different samples of 100 UMD students and compared their mean SAT-Math scores. Eden's sample had a mean of 546 and Illa's sample had a mean of 563. If both samples have a standard deviation of 100, what is the test statistic for comparing the means?

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{546 - 563}{\sqrt{\frac{100^2$}{100} + \frac{100^2$}{100}}}$$

Question 15

You are performing a hypothesis test with $$H_1$$: \mu 
eq 275$$ and a test statistic of z = 1.57$. What is the p-value for this test?

Accepted Answer

$$2 	imes P(Z \u003e 1.57)$$

Question 16

Suppose the p-value of a hypothesis test is 0.0279. Which of the following is correct regarding the conclusions we can draw?

Accepted Answer

We can reject the null hypothesis at a significance level of $$\alpha = 0.05$$ but cannot reject at $$\alpha = 0.01.$$

Question 17
