Question 1 1 out of 1 points The purpose of a confidence interval is to estimate an unknown parameter with an indication of how accurate the estimate is and of how confident we are that the result is correct. Answer Selected Answer: True

Question 2
0 out of 1 points Using the example in the book (Case 6.1) on Page 362-364, what would the margin of error be, if our confidence interval is at

68%? Answer Selected Answer: 30

**ANSWER IS NOT 32 EITHER****

Question 3
1 out of 1 points Using the example in the book on page 379, Figure 6.9, if is 12.8%, everything else being the same, what conclusion can you draw? Answer Selected Answer: 12.8% is so far out. I would reject the null hypothesis. My conclusion would be the assets for banks have changed. Response Feedback: 12.8% is even larger than the example in the book (8.1%). So definitely reject null hypothesis.

Question 4
1 out of 1 points People like to do everything online these days, including taking classes. Does the number of schools in the US that offer online classes increased this year, comparing to last year? You have

selected 200 colleges/universities all over the US and collected their online class enrollment data. What would your null hypothesis be? Answer Selected Answer: The number of schools that offer online classes has not changed since last year.

Question 5
1 out of 1 points Continue with Question 4: What would a one sided alternative hypothesis be? Answer Selected Answer: Either A or B. Response Feedback: A one-sided hypothesis can go in either direction. So either A or B is correct.

Question 6
1 out of 1 points Continue with Question 4: If your study shows a 3% increase in the number of schools offering online classes, along with a 30% standard deviation in your sample, what conclusion can you draw?

Answer Selected Answer: The increase is small, at 3%, but the standard deviation is large at 30%. So the increase of 3% could easily happen by chance. Therefore, there is no strong evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Question 7

Module 4 Quiz 2 Question 1 1 out of 1 points Probability for sample space is always 1. Answer Selected Answer: True Response Feedback: See Page 312.

Question 2
1 out of 1 points When rolling a die, what's the probability of NOT getting a 2? Answer Selected Answer: 5/6 Response Feedback: See Page 312. NOT getting a 2 is the same as getting 1, 3, 4, 5, 6. So that would be 5 out of 6. Hence, the probability is 5/6.

Question 3
1 out of 1 points MA 2025 has 20 students, 12 are female. MA 2025 also has 5 graduating seniors and 2 are female. Consider the following two events: 1. Select a student randomly and this student is female. 2. Select a student randomly and this student is senior. Are these two events independent? Answer Selected Answer: False Response Feedback: No, there is an overlapping in the two events. As you know, there are 2 students who are female and senior.

Question 4
1 out of 1 points Indiana Tech wants to find out what's the probability of less than 30 students will be in the library between 8pm 9:00pm to see whether it needs to extend library hours. Assuming on average, there are 100 students using the library for any given hour. What type of probability distribution can be best used to model this problem? Answer Selected Answer: Poisson Distribution Response Feedback: This problem follows Poisson distribution. It is very close to the ATM example in the book on page 337.

Question 5
1 out of 1 points With interest rates being at its record low, does home sale increase this year? At the same time, unemployment rate is high as well, which makes you think people would be hesitant of buying new homes. You have been asked to conduct a study to find out the answer. You have gathered home sales data from 150 sub divisions all over the US. What would your null hypothesis be? Answer Selected Answer: Home sale has not changed.

Question 6
1 out of 1 points Continue with Question 5: What would a two-sided alternative hypothesis be? Answer

Selected Answer: Home sale has changed this year. Response Feedback: A two sided alternative hypothesis will state that there has been a change, but won't be specific on what the change might be, whether positive or negative. By contrast, a one-sided hypothesis would be home sale has increased, or home sale has decreased.

Question 7
1 out of 1 points Continue with question 5 If in your sample, you saw an average of 30% sale drop with only 3% standard deviation, what would you do? Answer Selected Answer:

Since the average in my sample is a 30% sale drop, which is very high and the standard deviation is very low, only at 3%, that's strong enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. In this example, the null hypothesis would say the average change should be 0%, indicating no change at all. Since the standard deviation is 3%, a 30% change would be so far out on the normal distribution curve that it would rarely occur by chance. Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis.

Response Feedback:

Question 8
1 out of 1 points When we are trying to estimate the mean of a population, but the population standard deviation is not known, what can we do? Answer

Selected Answer:

We can use the sample standard deviation to estimate the population standard deviation.

Response Feedback: Check page 424.

Question 9

Minimize Close

HMWK Module 4 Question 1 incre 1 out of 1 points What is standard error of a statistic? Answer Selected Answer: The result when the standard deviation of a statistic is estimated from the data. Response Feedback: See page 424.

Question 2
1 out of 1 points While working on sampling distribution of a sample proportion, what can you do to help the sampling distribution becomes approximately normal? Answer Selected Answer: Increase the sample size. Response Feedback: See page 495.

Question 3
1 out of 1 points In the case study on page 512-513, what are the two sample proportions?

Answer Selected Answer: The sample proportions here are: 1. In the man sample, the proportion of men who are "label users". 2. In the woman sample, the proportion of women who are "label users". Response Feedback: In this case study, we are interested in comparing whether women pay more attention to labels than men. So we are comparing the response from two groups, man group and woman group to see whether there are any differences.

Question 4
1 out of 1 points On page 434-435, Example7.7, what does u=0 mean? Answer Selected Answer: It means the difference between the tests are 0. Hence, there is no improvements after receiving the instructions.

Question 5
1 out of 1 points The same case study on page 517, what if the calculated Z value turned out to be 0.4? Answer

Selected Answer: In this case, z is 0.4, which is a relatively small value (p is about .68). So there is no strong evidence to support that women are more "label users" than men.

Question 6
1 out of 1 points The t procedures are robust even if the sample contains a lot of outliers, as long as the calculations are performed accurately. Answer Selected Answer: False Response Feedback: With lots of outliers, the populations follow normal distribution cannot be fulfilled. So the t procedures are not robust against outliers. See page 437.

Question 7
1 out of 1 points Why do we have to add 1 success and 1 failure to each sample in Wilson estimate? Answer Selected Answer: Small modification of the sample proportions greatly improves the accuracy of confidence interval. Response Feedback: See Page 515.

Question 8
0 out of 1 points Why are we using two way tables? Answer Selected Answer: None above.

Question 9
