2. Listed below are the number of years it took for a random sample of college students to earn bachelor's degrees (based on data from the National Center for Education Statistics). 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 6, 6, 8, 9, 9, 13, 13, 15 (a) Calculate the sample mean and standard deviation. (b) Calculate the standard error, SE. (c) What is the point estimate for the mean time required for all college students to earn bachelor's degrees? (d) Construct the 90% confidence interval estimate of the mean time required for all college students to earn bachelor's degrees. (e) Does the confidence interval contain the value of 4 years? Is there anything about the data that would suggest that the confidence interval might not be a good result?

Researchers collected a simple random sample of the times that 81 college students required to earn their bachelor's degrees. The sample has a mean of 4.8 years and a standard deviation of 2.2 years. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean for all college students is equal to 4.5 years.

Suppose that a random sample of 100 part-time college students is 68% female. In this activity, we calculate the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all part-time college students that are female. Recall that the 95% confidence interval is: sample proportion ± 2(SE) where SE is the standard error (or standard deviation). question 2: State the confidence interval. Then convert the values to percentages and interpret the confidence interval in context.

In a study of government financial aid for college students, researchers needed to estimate the proportion of full-time college students who earn a bachelor's degree in 4 years or less. Assuming a confidence level of 90%, find the sample size needed to estimate that proportion with a 0.03 margin of error in two cases: (1) no assumptions are made about the value of the sample proportion, and (2) prior studies have shown that roughly 60% of full-time students earn a...

Listed below are the time, in years, it took particular students to graduate college. Use the data to answer the following questions. 3, 3.5, 4, 4, 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 5.5, 6.5, 6.5, 7, 7, 8, 10, 12 Find a) Determine the minimum b) Determine P20 c) Determine Q2 d) What percentile is 8 years? e) What is the percentile of 4.5 years? From the problem, use the 5-point summary to create a boxplot of the data.

Data on 4200 college graduates show that the mean time required to graduate with a bachelor's degree is 5.11 years with a standard deviation of 1.69 years. Use a single value to estimate the mean time required to graduate for all college graduates. Also, find the 95% confidence interval for the mean time required to graduate for all college graduates. What is the mean?
