A recent study of high school students shows the percentage of females and males who have at LEAST one notation in their school record for inappropriate behavior. A simple random sample of high school students was interviewed. The students were asked whether they had a notation for inappropriate behavior in their school record. Of the 100 females, 21 answered yes, as did 145 of the 400 males. Part A: Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the difference in...

A recent survey asked parents of school-aged children about their children's access to technology at home. In a sample of 915 rural families, 23% said they did not have access to a computer at home. In a sample of 2386 suburban families, 13% said they did not have access to a computer at home. In this problem, you'll perform a two-sample hypothesis test of proportions at the 1% significance level, testing whether the difference in the percentage of families without...

Students completed a high school senior level standardized algebra exam. Major for students was also recorded. Data in terms of percent correct is recorded below for 32 students. We are interested to see if there is any difference between students' high-school algebra test scores and subsequent declared college major. These students have now also just completed the same college-level calculus class and received a grade. We are therefore now also interested to see if there is any relationship between the...

A researcher wants to determine whether high school students who attend an SAT preparation course score significantly different on the SAT than students who do not attend the preparation course. For those who do not attend the course, the population mean is 1050 (? = 1050). The 16 students who attend the preparation course average 1150 on the SAT, with a sample standard deviation of 300. On the basis of these data, can the researcher conclude that the preparation course...
