- For each of the following, state whether the quantity described is a parameter or a statistic, and give the correct notation. (please include notation in the answer!!)
a. Proportion of students at a university that are part-time, based on data on all students enrolled at the university.
b. Correlation between age and heart rate for patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit, based on a sample of 200 patients.
Homework Answers
a) The quantity is a parameter because it is based on all students. The correct notation is population proportion (p).
b) The quantity is a statistic because it is based on sample. The correct notation is sample correlation coefficient (r).

Statistic questions
Short Answer 9. Suppose that you and a friend analyze the same sample data and conduct a test of significance about the same conjectured value, but you use a two-sided alternative and your friend uses a onesided alternative. a. Will you and your friend obtain different values of the test statistic? Explain briefly. b. Will you and your friend obtain different values of the p-value? Explain briefly. 10.

This activity will help you distinguish between a sample statistic and a population parameter Part I Proportions from Random Samples Vary Imagine a small college with only 200 students, and suppose that 60% of these students are eligible for financial aid. What is the population? What is the variable? What is the population proportion? Note: Populations are usually much larger than 200 people. Also, in real situations, we do not know the population proportion. We are using a simplified situation...

Situations comparing two proportions are described. In each case, determine whether the situation involves comparing proportions for two groups or comparing two proportions from the same group. State whether the methods of this section apply to the difference in proportions. Compare the proportion of students who use a Windows-based PC to the proportion who use a Mac. Do the methods of this section apply to the difference in proportions?

For each problem, state the null and alternative hypotheses with the appropriate notation. Then test the hypothesis at the given significance level. Lastly state your conclusion using a complete sentence. Be sure to include the p-value in your conclusion. 1. suppose it is reported that 35% of collage students smoke tobacco regularly. We are curios as to whether a higher proportion of auraria campus students smoke regularly. So we sample 150 students and find that 70 smoke. Test your hypothesis...

For each of the questions below, a histogram is described. Indicate in each case whether, in view of the Central Limit Theorem, you can be confident that the histogram would look like approximately a bell-shaped (normal) curve, and give a brief explanation why (one sentence is probably sufficient). There are no data for these questions, so you will not need to use the computer to answer these questions. Please provide brief explanations for each. The price of one gallon of...
