The dean of students of a large private college claims that the average distance commuting students travel to the campus is 32 miles. The commuting students feel otherwise. A sample of 64 students was randomly selected and yielded a mean of 35 miles and a standard deviation of 5 miles. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Test the dean’s claim at the 5 percent level of significance (α = 0.05) using critical approach and state a conclusion.
(Hint: two-tailed test, zα/2 = 1.96)

The administration at your college announces that, on average,
commuting students live farther than 30 miles from campus. The
announcement came as somewhat of a surprise and took place at a
press conference where it was important to make the point that the
college attracts students who live 'far' from campus. A student
advocacy group takes a random sample of 9 commuting students and
records how far, in miles, they live from campus:
19,22,25,28,30,35,40,46,50.

Suppose the Dean of our college claims that, the average GPA
for all students in the college is at least 3.00, with standard
deviation 0.4. However, from a class with 25 students,
we find the class average GPA is 2.80. Can we reject the
dean’s claim at significance level 0.05? (We conduct a hypothesis
testing).

A college claims that 25% of its students receive tuition
discounts. In a sample of 150 students, 35 of the students receive
tuition discounts.
a. Using a significance level of α=0.1, perform a two-tailed
hypothesis test to determine if the college’s claim is being met.
Use the confidence interval approach.
b. Repeat part (a), but use the p-value approach.

Question 3
A college professor claims the proportion of students that
complete a homework assignment is 70%. To
test this claim, a random sample of students are monitored and
checked if they completed the home the algebra class.
Assume that the test statistic for this hypothesis test is
−1.73.
Since this is a two tailed hypothesis test, assume that the
critical values for this hypothesis test are −1.96 and 1.96.
Come to a decision for the hypothesis test and interpret...

The Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS)
reported that the mean time for CLAS students to complete their
degree at CU-Denver is less than 5 years. She randomly selected a
sample of 25 recent CLAS graduates and found that their mean time
to graduate was 4.75 years with a sample standard deviation of 0.8
years. At an α = 0.1 level, is their sufficient evidence to
conclude that the mean time for CLAS students to complete...

Professor Jennings claims that only 35% of the students at Flora
College work while attending school. Dean Renata thinks that the
professor has underestimated the number of students with part-time
or full-time jobs. A random sample of 82 students shows that 37
have jobs. Do the data indicate that more than 35% of the students
have jobs? Use a 5% level of significance.
(a) State the null and alternate hypotheses. Options:
H0: μ = 0.35; H1: μ <
0.35
