1. Independent random samples of students were taken from two high schools, R and S, and the proportion of students who drive to school in each sample was recorded. The difference between the two sample proportions (R minus S) was 0.07. Under the assumption that all conditions for inference were met, a hypothesis test was conducted where the alternative hypothesis was the population proportion of students who drive to school for R was greater than that for S. The
p-value of the test was 0.114. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the p-value?
A. The probability of selecting a student from high school R who drives to school is 0.07, and the probability of selecting a student from high school S who drives to school is 0.114.
B. If the proportion of all students who drive to school at R is greater than the proportion who drive to school at S, the probability of observing that difference is 0.114.
C. If the proportion of all students who drive to school at R is greater than the proportion who drive to school at S, the probability of observing a sample difference of at least 0.07 is 0.114.
D. If the proportions of all students who drive to school are the same for both high schools, the probability of observing a sample difference of at least 0.07 is 0.114.
E. If the proportions of all students who drive to school are the same for both high schools, the probability of observing a sample difference of 0.114 is 0.07.

    Many elementary school students in a school district currently have ear infections. A random sample of children in two different schools found that 14 of 48 at one school and 12 of 30 at the other had this infection. At the .05 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists between the proportion of students who have ear infections at one school and the other? Yes, there is sufficient information to reject the hypothesis that...

    U.S. schools face an ongoing challenge: as students get closer to high school graduation, their enthusiasm for school falls. A Gallup poll in June 2017 has discovered that fifth graders are most engaged with school, while 11th graders are least. The latest Gallup poll showed that only 32% of 11th graders are engaged in school. Assume this value represents the population proportion. Suppose we randomly sample 150 11th graders in the U.S. and ask them their engagement in school. ?...
