Question

57% of students entering four-year colleges receive a degree within six years. Is this percent different from for students who play intramural sports? 153 of the 232 students who played intramural sports received a degree within six years. What can be concluded at the level of significance of α

= 0.05?

  1. For this study, we should use

The null and alternative hypotheses would be:    
 Ho: (please enter a decimal)   
 H1:

  1. (Please enter a decimal)
  1. The test statistic
  2. = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
  3. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
  4. The p-value is

α

  • Based on this, we should
  • the null hypothesis.
  • Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
    • The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly different from 57% at α
  • = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of students who played intramural sports who received a degree within six years is different from 57%
  • The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 57% at α
  • = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of students who played intramural sports who received a degree within six years is equal to 57%.
  • The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 57% at α
    • = 0.05, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of students who played intramural sports who received a degree within six years is different from 57%.
  • Interpret the p-value in the context of the study.
    • There is a 0.6% chance of a Type I error.
    • There is a 0.6% chance that the percent of all students who played intramural sports who received a degree within six years differs from 57%.
    • If the sample proportion of students who played intramural sports who received a degree within six years is 66% and if another 232 voters are surveyed then there would be a 0.6% chance that we would conclude either fewer than 57% of all students who played intramural sports received a degree within six years or more than 57% of all students who played intramural sports received a degree within six years.
    • If the population proportion of students who played intramural sports who received a degree within six years is 57% and if another 232 students who played intramural sports are surveyed then there would be a 0.6% chance that either more than 66% of the 232 studetns surveyed received a degree within six years or fewer than 48% of the 232 students surveyed received a degree within six years.
  • Interpret the level of significance in the context of the study.
    • If the population proportion of students who played intramural sports who received a degree within six years is different from 57% and if another 232 students who played intramural sports are surveyed then there would be a 5% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the proportion of all students who played intramural sports who received a degree within six years is equal to 57%.
    • If the population proportion of students who played intramural sports who received a degree within six years is 57% and if another 232 students who played intramural sports are surveyed then there would be a 5% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the proportion of all students who played intramural sports who received a degree within six years is different from 57%
    • There is a 5% chance that aliens have secretly taken over the earth and have cleverly disguised themselves as the presidents of each of the countries on earth.
    • There is a 5% chance that the proportion of all students who played intramural sports who received a degree within six years is different from 57%.
