3. At a school pep rally, a group of sophomore students organized a free for prizes. They claim that they put the names of all

of the students in the school in the basket and that they randomly drew 36 names out of this basket. Of the prize

winners, 6 were freshmen, 14 were sophomores, 9 were juniors, and 7 were seniors. The results do not seem that random to

you. You think it is a little ?shy that sophomores organized the raf?e and also won the most prizes. Your school

is  composed of 30% freshmen, 25% sophomores, 25% juniors, and 20% seniors.                                                               

a. What are the expected frequencies of winners from each class?

b. Conduct a signi?cance test to determine whether the winners of the prizes were distributed throughout the classes as would

be expected based on the percentage of students in each group. Report your Chi Square and p values.

c. What do you conclude?

Use the following information to answer the next twelve exercises: Suppose an airline claims that its flights are consistently on

time with an average delay of at most 15 minutes. It claims that the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no

more than 150 minutes. Doubting the consistency part of the claim, a disgruntled traveler calculates the delays for his next 25

flights. The average delay for those 25 flights is 22 minutes with a standard deviation of 15 minutes.
