A certain psychological theory predicts that men want bigger families than women. Kate
asked each student in her psychology class how many children he or she considered
ideal for a married couple and obtained the Excel results shown below at α = .05.
What conclusion can you draw in a two-tailed test at α = .05?
The decision depends on whether or not the variances are equal.
We cannot reject the hypothesis of equal population means.
Men want larger families on average than women.
Women want larger families on average than men.
Question 3

Randomly chosen MBA students were asked their opinions about the ideal number of
children for a married couple. The sample data were entered into MegaStat, and the

What conclusion can you draw from this analysis at α = .05?
This is insufficient evidence to suggest a difference in means.

Which statement is false?
Random dialing phone surveys have low response and are poorly targeted.
Selection bias means that many respondents dislike the interviewer.
Web surveys are economical but suffer from nonresponse bias.
Simple random sampling requires a list of the population.
Question 8
1 / 1 pts
Judgment sampling is sometimes preferred over random sampling, for example, when:
the desired sample size is much larger than the population.

time is short and the sampling budget is limited.
the population is readily accessible and sampling is nondestructive.
the sampling budget is large and the population is conveniently located.
Question 9

Question 1

Always starting at zero

Bins can start at any value.

Using aesthetic judgment

Following Sturges' Rule

Selecting "nice" class (bin) limits

About 15 percent of his scores are in the interval 74 < 76.

The histogram has a noticeable bimodal shape.

The modal class is 78 < 80.

bimodal and skewed right.

bimodal and skewed left.

You can see two modes and a longer right tail.

bimodal and skewed left.

bimodal and skewed right.

You can see one mode and a long left tail.

Bin midpoint is the average of the bin limits.

Sturges' Rule suggests k = 1 + 3.3 log(62) = 7 bins.

Fourth stem has only one value of 70.

Third stem second data value is 61.

80 but less than 90.

70 but less than 80.

60 but less than 70.
