Answer:

(i) The student who weighed the rock 20 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error of a confidence interval is:

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which z is related to the confidence level, \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

From the equation above, the larger the size of the sample, the lower the margin is, that is, the narrower the interval is.

In this question:

A student weighed the rock 20 times and other the 5. From above, the one who weighed the rock 20 times will have the more precise interval.

So the correct answer is:

(i) The student who weighed the rock 20 times.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

H0: There is no association between state and sporting preference.

H1: There is an association between state and sporting preference

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis to be tested for is whether the factor 'state' is associated with the factor 'sporting preference'.

The study is therefore about 'association' and whether the distributions of sporting preferences are identical across states. In scenario in this case is the test for association which is the most appropriate test.

Two factors are deemed to not be associated unless there is supporting evidence to suggest otherwise. Since the null hypothesis is the default belief, the correct pair of hypotheses are:

H0: There is no association between state and sporting preference.

H1: There is an association between state and sporting preference
