In a certain school, students can choose whether to eat in the school’s cafeteria. A reporter working for the school’s newspaper

polled students on their reactions to changes in the menu at the cafeteria. For each student leaving the cafeteria in one 30-minute time period, the reporter used a coin to determine whether to stop the student and ask how he or she felt about the new menu. In the reporter’s article it was stated that a random sample of the students showed that 89 percent of the school’s student population was happy with the new menu. Which of the following statements is true?
A.Because each student leaving the cafeteria was randomly selected and could choose to answer or not, this is a random sample of the student population, and the 89% is an accurate measurement of the school population’s view of the new menu.

B. Because students self-selected whether to eat in the cafeteria, the sampling method might be biased and the sample might not be representative of all students in the school.

C. The survey would have been more effective if the reporter had collected the data in one 15-minute time period rather than in one 30-minute time period.

D. The survey would have been more effective if students who cared about the food could have called the reporter to tell how they felt about the new menu, so that only students with opinions on the subject would have been surveyed.

E. Because no treatment was imposed on the students eating in the cafeteria, one cannot make any conclusions about the new menu.

Answer:

The statement that is true is B. Because students self-selected whether to eat in the cafeteria, the sampling method might be biased and the sample might not be representative of all students in the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of students can decide if they eat in the cafeteria or not, the sample obtained by the reporter can be extrapolated only to the population of students that actually eat in the cafeteria, not to all students population. To make a conclusion of the degree of conformity of all students population, the poll should have been conducted in a hallway of the school (to get the opinion of all students, not only the ones that go to the cafeteria). In other way, the reporter are loosing the opinion of those students that are not happy with the new menu, and decide not going to the cafeteria.

John borrowed $ from bank for 3 years at a rate of 10%

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • P= $12500
  • R= 10%
  • T= 3 years
<h3>Note that:</h3>
  • P= Principal amount
  • R= Rate of interest
  • T= Time period
<h3>To find:</h3>
  • The simple interest
  • The total amount paid
<h3>Solution:</h3>

\large\boxed{Formula: I= \frac{PRT}{100}}

First, we'll have to multiply, principal amount (12500), rate (10) and time period (3).

12500×10×3

=375000

Now, we'll have to divide the amount (375000) by 100.

\frac{375000}{100}

<em>I=$3750</em>

Now, we can find the total amount paid.

\large\boxed{A=SI+P}

Let's substitute according to the formula.

A=3750+12500

<em>A=$16250</em>

<u>Therefore</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>simple</u><u> </u><u>interest</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>$</u><u>3</u><u>7</u><u>5</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>$</u><u>1</u><u>6</u><u>2</u><u>5</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>was</u><u> </u><u>paid</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>total</u><u>.</u>

Solve the equation <br><br> 14 = 9 - p
morpeh [17]

14 = 9 - p

Move 9 to the other side

Sign changes from +9 to -9

14-9= 9-9-p

14-9= -p

5=-p

Mutiply both sides by -1 to get + p

(5)(-1)= (-p)(-1)

p= -5

Answer: p= -5

In what follows use any of the following tests: Regression, multiple regression, one-sided t-test, or two-sided t-test. All conc
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

  1. Two sided  t-test ( d )
  2.  0.245782  ( c )
  3. Since P-value is too large we cannot conclude that the students’ weight are different for these two schools. ( c )
  4. The test is inconclusive; thus we cannot claim that the average weights are different. ( b )

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  Test performed is a Two sided test and this because we are trying to determine the mean difference between two groups irrespective of their direction

<u>2) Determine the P-value ( we will use a data-data analysis approach on excel data sheet while assuming Unequal variances )</u>

                               yes             No

Mean                   94.47059   89.76471

Variance              173.2647     95.19118

Observations            17            17

df                               30

t Stat                       1.184211  

P(T<=t) one-tail 0.122814  

t Critical one-tail 1.697261

P(T<=t) two-tail        0.245782

Hence The p-value =  0.245782

3) Since P-value is too large we cannot conclude that the students’ weight are different for these two schools.

4)   The test is inconclusive; thus we cannot claim that the average weights are different.
