The university registrar claims that fewer than 20 percent of the students who enroll at Ivy University graduate in four years. To test this claim, a random sample of 100 students was selected, and 18 were found to have graduated in four years. Calculate the appropriate test statistic to test the hypotheses.
Homework Answers
Sample proportion 
= 18 / 100
= 0.18
Test statistics
z = - p / sqrt
( p ( 1 - p) / n)
= 0.18 - 0.20 / sqrt( 0.20 * 0.80 / 100)
= -0.50

Question 4 In the past, 60% of all undergraduate students enrolled at a State University in NY earned their degrees within four years of matriculation. Administrators want to test the claim made by some faculty memebers that this proportion has fallen below the historical value of 60%. A random sample of 95 students from the class that matriculated in the fall of 2012 was recently selected to test this hypothesis. Administrators found that 44 of these 95 students graduated in...

A research group claims that fewer than 28% of students at one medical school plan to go into general practice. It is found that among a random sample of 120 of the school's students, 24 of them plan to go into general practice. At the 0.10 significance level, use the P-value method to test the research group's claim. Correctly state a) your conclusion about what to do with H0 AND b) your conclusion about the claim that is being made.

In an early study, researchers at Ivy University found that 33 percent of the freshmen had received at least one A in their first semester. Administrators are concerned that grade inflation has caused this percentage to increase. In a more recent study, of a random sample of 500 freshmen, 185 had at least one A in their first semester. Test the claim at α = .05. What it the hypothesis in this question? why is it right tailed?

A sample of 40 students enroll in a program that claims to improve scores on the quantitative reasoning portion of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). The participants take a mock GRE test before the program begins and again at the end to measure their improvement.

In a sample of 173 students at an Australian university that introduced the use of plagiarism-detection software in a number of courses, 52 students indicated a belief that such software unfairly targets students. Does this suggest that a majority of students at the university do not share this belief? Test appropriate hypotheses at level 0.05. (Let p be the proportion of students at this university who do not share this belief.) State the appropriate hypotheses. Calculate the test statistic and...

The president of a university claims that the mean time spent partying by all students at this university is not more than 7 hours per week. A random sample of 40 students taken from this university showed that they spent an average of 7.5 hours partying the previous week with a sample standard deviation of 2.3 hours. Use the p-value approach to test at a 5% significance level whether the president’s claim is true.

(5.12) A university that is better known for its basketball program than for its academic strength claims that 80% of it’s basketball players get degrees. An investigation examines the fate of all 20 players who entered the program over a period of several years that ended 5 years ago. Of these players, 11 graduated and the remaining 9 are no longer in school. If the university’s claim is true, the number of players who graduate among the 20 studied should...
