X : number of days absent
X ~ N( 3.2, 1.2)
where, mean (
) = 3.2
and sd (
) = 1.2

A researcher found that the number of days of school missed per semester by college students...
A researcher found that the number of days of school missed per semester by college students was normally distributed with a mean of 4.00 and standard deviation of 1.00. What conclusion can you draw from these data? No students missed fewer than 3 days of school per semester. All students missed at least one day of school per semester. Very few students missed between 3 and 5 days of school per semester. Most students missed between 3 and 5 days...

4. A college counselor claims that there is a negative correlation between the number of days a student was absent from class and the student’s score on the midterm examination. A random sample of 30 statistics students was examined. The sample correlation coefficient was computed to be r = -0.67. Assuming that both the attendance and the midterm grades are normally distributed, is the counselor’s claim justified at the 1% level of significance? Explain your answer.

Absenteeism of college students from math classes is a major concern to math instructors because missing class appears to increase the drop rate. Three statistics instructors wondered whether the absentee rate was the same for every day of the school week. They took a sample of absent students from three of their statistics classes during one week of the term. The results of the survey appear in the table. Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. # of students absent 28 22...
