1. On the first day of class, an economics professor administers a test to gauge the math preparedness of her students. She believes that the performance on his math test and the number of hours studied per week on course are the primary factors that predict a student's score on final exam. She collects data from 60 students, a portion of which is shown in the accompanying table.   Final       Math       Hours   81           92               1   63          74               3   67         78               1   66       90               4   55       85               1   74        53              4   73        43              4   75         48              2   81         79               3   61        61               3   80       81               3   67       53             3   76       44             5   84       96             5   60         57            2   84        77              4   75       77               2   69       69              1   71         60             3   76…

A report suggests that business majors spend the least amount of time on course work than other college students (The New York Times, November 17, 2011), A provost of a university conducts a survey of 50 business and 50 nonbusiness students.  Students are asked if they study hard, defined as spending at least 20 hours per week on course work.  The response shows "yes" if they worked hard or "no" otherwise; a portion of the data is shown in the following table. Business Majors Nonbusiness Majors Yes No No Yes No  Yes Yes Yes   At the 5% level of significance, determine if the percentage of business majors who study hard is less than 20%? At the 5% level of significance, determine if the percentage of nonbusiness majors who study hard is more than 20%.
