I want to find out how much a college undergraduates spend each month on cell phone communication. I choose 6 undergraduates at random and get the data
$25 $50 $10 $30 $35 $60
What is the population of interest?
What constitutes the sample?
What is the sample mean?
What is the sample standard deviation?
What is the sample median?
If I were to draw another random sample of 6 students would I get the same data or different data?

I just want to make sure these answers are right. In 2018, as a way of commemorating the 10-year anniversary of the release of the first smartphone, an undergraduate student polled a random sample of 26 her peers in hopes of estimating the average time (in hours) such students spend on their smartphone each day, on average. Using the data she collected, she produced a 95% confidence interval for the true mean time college students spend on their phone each...

A random sample of 46 college students reported the number of hours per day they typically spend on social media. Their sample mean is, M = 2.61, and their standard deviation is, s = 1.02. If you plan to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean, what t critical value should you use based on this data?

A claim is made that college students spend an average of 20 hours per week studying for their courses. You believe the true population average is different than 20 hours, and you would like to test the null hypothesis that μ = 20 hours versus the alternative hypothesis that μ ≠ 20 hours. You gather data from a random sample of 100 college students and calculate a test statistic of 1.2. This means the p-value would be what? A 0.0576...

2. Suppose that a random sample of 41 state college students is asked to measure the length of their right foot in centimeters. A 90% confidence interval for the mean foot length for students at this university turns out to be (21.709, 25.091). If we now calculated a 95% confidence interval, would the new confidence interval be wider than or narrower than or the same as the original? b. Suppose two researchers want to estimate the proportion of American college...

According to Pew Research Center 2011 study, a typical American teen owning a cell phone spends an average of 96 minutes a day text messaging. Assume normal distribution with a standard deviation of 33 minutes. a. What percent of teens send less than 75 minutes per day on text messaging? b. Find and interpret P75, the 75th percentile Problem #4 According to a recent study, the mean amount of sleep college students aged 17-24 get on a typical night is...

Exhibit 1 The average wait time on the phone for taxpayers calling the IRS in 2016 was 1,686 seconds. Suppose that the IRS made operational changes in an effort to reduce wait times. To test the effectiveness of these changes, a random sample of 60 phone calls was selected and the wait time of each call was recorded. The average wait time in the sample was calculated to be 1,619 seconds. Assume the population standard deviation for the wait time...
Your local Target store is interested to know how much money, on average, their customers spend each visit in the housewares department.
Your local Target store is interested to know how much money, on average, their customers spend each visit in the housewares department. They go back through their records and draw a sample of 450 people and calculate each customer's average spending on housewares. a) Identify the population, sample, parameter, statistic and variable for this example. b) Describe a situation in which you would calculate a parameter rather than a statistic . For the 1,000 samples, the following is a breakdown of how much...

Reconsider Dr. Sameer's research question about how much time Cal Poly students spend on watching television. Suppose that for the random sample of 100 Cal Poly students the mean number of hours per day spent watching TV turns out to be 3.01 hours, and the standard deviation of the number of hours per day spent watching TV turns out to be 1.97 hours. Is the number 1.97 a parameter or a statistic? Assign an appropriate symbol to this number. Find...
