The University of Arkansas recently approved out of state tuition discounts for high school students from any state. The student

s must qualify by meeting certain standards in terms of GPA and standardized test scores. The goal of this new policy is to increase the geographic diversity of students from states beyond Arkansas and its border states. Historically, 90% of all new students came from Arkansas or a bordering state. Ginger, a student at the U of A, sampled 180 new students the following year and found that 157 of the new students came from Arkansas or a bordering state. Does Ginger’s study provide enough evidence to indicate that this new policy is effective with a level of significance 10%? What would be the correct decision?
a. Reject H0; conclude that the new policy does not increase the percentage of students from states that don’t border Arkansasb. Fail to reject H0; conclude that the new policy increases the percentage of students from states that don’t border Arkansas
c. Reject H0; conclude that the new policy increases the percentage of students from states that don’t border Arkansas
d. Fail to reject H0; conclude that the new policy does not increase the percentage of students from states that don’t border Arkansas

Answer:

z=\frac{0.872 -0.9}{\sqrt{\frac{0.9(1-0.9)}{180}}}=-1.252  

p_v =P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 10% the proportion of students who came from Arkansas or a bordering state is not significantly lower than 0.9

b. Fail to reject H0; conclude that the new policy increases the percentage of students from states that don’t border Arkansas

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation n  

n=180 represent the random sample taken

X=157 represent the students who came from Arkansas or a bordering state

\hat p=\frac{157}{180}=0.872 estimated proportion of students who came from Arkansas or a bordering state

p_o=0.9 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level

Confidence=90% or 0.90

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is higher or not than 0.9.:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.9  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.9  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.872 -0.9}{\sqrt{\frac{0.9(1-0.9)}{180}}}=-1.252  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided \alpha=0.1. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 10% the proportion of students who came from Arkansas or a bordering state is not significantly lower than 0.9

b. Fail to reject H0; conclude that the new policy increases the percentage of students from states that don’t border Arkansas

Suppose you are interested in the effect of skipping lectures (in days missed) on college grades. You also have ACT scores and h
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

a) For this case the intercept of 2.52 represent a common effect of measure for any student without taking in count the other variables analyzed, and we know that if HSGPA=0, ACT= 0 and skip =0 we got colGPA=2.52

b) This value represent the effect into the ACT scores in the GPA, we know that:

\hat \beta_{ACT} = 0.015

So then for every unit increase in the ACT score we expect and increase of 0.015 in the GPA or the predicted variable

c) If we are interested in analyze if we have a significant relationship between the dependent and the independent variable we can use the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: \beta_i = 0

Alternative hypothesis: \beta_i \neq 0

Or in other wouds we want to check if an specific slope is significant.

The significance level assumed for this case is \alpha=0.05

Th degrees of freedom for a linear regression is given by df=n-p-1 = 45-3-1 = 41, where p =3 the number of variables used to estimate the dependent variable.

In order to test the hypothesis the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\hat \beta_i}{SE_{\beta_i}}

And replacing we got:

t = \frac{-0.5}{0.0001}=-5000

And for this case we see that if we find the p value for this case we will get a value very near to 0, so then we can conclude that this coefficient would be significant for the regression model .

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following multiple regression model calculated:

colGPA =2.52+0.38*HSGPA+0.015*ACT-0.5*skip

Part a

(a) Interpret the intercept in this model.

For this case the intercept of 2.52 represent a common effect of measure for any student without taking in count the other variables analyzed, and we know that if HSGPA=0, ACT= 0 and skip =0 we got colGPA=2.52

(b) Interpret \hat \beta_{ACT} from this model.

This value represent the effect into the ACT scores in the GPA, we know that:

\hat \beta_{ACT} = 0.015

So then for every unit increase in the ACT score we expect and increase of 0.015 in the GPA or the predicted variable

(c) What is the predicted college GPA for someone who scored a 25 on the ACT, had a 3.2 high school GPA and missed 4 lectures. Show your work.

For this case we can use the regression model and we got:

colGPA =2.52 +0.38*3.2 +0.015*25 - 0.5*4 = 26.751

(d) Is the estimate of skipping class statistically significant? How do you know? Is the estimate of skipping class economically significant? How do you know? (Hint: Suppose there are 45 lectures in a typical semester long class).

If we are interested in analyze if we have a significant relationship between the dependent and the independent variable we can use the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: \beta_i = 0

Alternative hypothesis: \beta_i \neq 0

Or in other wouds we want to check if an specific slope is significant.

The significance level assumed for this case is \alpha=0.05

Th degrees of freedom for a linear regression is given by df=n-p-1 = 45-3-1 = 41, where p =3 the number of variables used to estimate the dependent variable.

In order to test the hypothesis the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\hat \beta_i}{SE_{\beta_i}}

And replacing we got:

t = \frac{-0.5}{0.0001}=-5000

And for this case we see that if we find the p value for this case we will get a value very near to 0, so then we can conclude that this coefficient would be significant for the regression model .

Help pls fast it is urgent​
quester [9]

Answer:

The volume formula is pi r^2h because it is similar to the formula to the area of a circle with an extra addition of the height variable, since a cylinder is just a circle with depth. The surface area formula is 2pirh +2pi r^2 because it measures the area of both circles as well as the depth. This formula is similar to the circumference formula of a circle.
