According to a lending institution, students graduating from college have an average credit card debt of $4100. A random sample of 40 graduating seniors was selected, and their average credit card debt was found to be $4428. Assume the standard deviation for student credit card debt is $1,300. Using alphaαequals=0.01, complete parts a through c. a) Does this sample provide enough evidence to challenge the findings by the lending institution? Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Upper H 0H0: muμ...
A college professor claims that the entering class this year appears to be smarter than entering classes from previous years. He tests a random sample of 22 this year's entering students and finds that their mean IQ score is 119, with standard deviation of 15. The college records indicate that the mean IQ score for entering students from previous years is 112. If we assume that the IQ scores of this year's entering class are normally distributed, is there enough...
A college professor claims that the entering class this year appears to be smarter than entering classes from previous years. He tests a random sample of 22 of this year's entering students and finds that their mean 1Q score is 119, with standard deviation of 15. The college records indicate that the mean 1Q score for entering students from previous years is 112. If we assume that the 1Q scores of this year's entering class are normally distributed, is there...
A college professor claims that the entering class this year appears to be smarter than entering classes from previous years. He tests a random sample of 13 of this year's entering students and finds that their mean IQ score is 119, with standard deviation of 11. The college records indicate that the mean IQ score for entering students from previous years is 112. If we assume that the IQ scores of this year's entering class are normally distributed, is there...
We are interested in examining the IQ scores of college students versus the average population IQ. We take a sample of 25 college students and have them take the WAIS. Our sample of college students had an average WAIS of 110, and the known population mean for the WAIS is 100 with σ= 15. a. What type of statistical test should we conduct (z score, one sample t test, independent measures t test, repeated measures t test)? How do you...
A college professor claims that the entering class this year appears to be smarter than entering classes from previous years. He tests a random sample of 16 of this year's entering students and finds that their mean IQ score is 116, with standard deviation of 10. The college records indicate that the mean IQ score for entering students from previous years is 113. If we assume that the 10 scores of this year's entering dass are normally distributed, is there...
At a certain college, it is estimated that at most 24% of the students ride bicycles to class. Does this seem to be a valid estimate if, in a random sample of 81 college students, 24 are found to ride bicycles to class? Use a 0.01 level of significance.

It is recommended that adults get 8 hours of sleep each night. A researcher hypothesized college students got less than the recommended number of hours of sleep each night, on average. The researcher randomly sampled 20 college students and calculated a sample mean of 7.5 hours per night. If the researcher wanted to perform a one-sample t-test, which of the following is a correct statement? Choose the correct answer below. A. The distribution of sample means will be normal even...
Assume the research question is, “Do the data indicate the mean differs from 120?” What is the value of the Z test statistic if the population standard deviation is known to be 125 and the sample mean based on a sample of 625 observations is 135? College students carry more credit card debt on average than they did one decade ago. A consumer credit organization is studying the debt of college students. They collected credit information from 900 college students...
E. 0.40 37. In a study of the effects of college student employment on academic performance, the researchers analyzed the GPAs of a random sample of 55 students who were employed denoted Emp) and a random sample of students who were not employed (denoted NotEmp). In the question, μEmp denotes the population mean GPA of all students employed and μNotEmp denotes the population mean GPA of all students not en- ployed. Suppose that the test statistic of the difference is...
