A survey of 704 randomly selected students was conducted to determine student opinion about taking full- semester classes, 12-week classes, or eight-week classes. The survey reported that 25% of the students surveyed preferred 12-week sections. The survey estimate had a margin of error of 2 percentage points. A margin of error is reported because The people doing the survey may have recorded results incorrectly. Students may intentionally respond incorrectly. Students may misunderstand the survey questions. Sample proportions vary from sample...
In a study conducted by some Statistics students, 59 people were randomly assigned to listen to rap music, music by Mozart, or no music while attempting to memorize objects pictured on a page. They were then asked to list all the objects they could remember. The summary statistics for each group are shown in the table.
