tuition and fees due to a decrease in state subsidies. The change in the cost of
tuition, a shared dormitory room, and the most popular meal plan from the 2014-
2015 academic year for a sample of 10 public universities were as follows: $1589,
$593, $1223, $869, $423, $1720, $708, $1425, $922 and $308. Run the descriptive

In a US presidential election, the incumbent president wins with 51.5% of the vote to 48.2% for the primary
challenger (and .3% to others). In a nationwide telephone poll of 1000 people conducted exactly one week
before the election by a university polling group, 49% of people polled supported the incumbent president,
50% supported the challenger, and 1% supported other candidates.
a. For the polling study, what was the population of interest?
b. What was the sample?
c. Why did the sample results differ from the population?
d. What are two constants that might have limited the generalizability of the polling results?
