The owner of a popular coffee shop believes that customers who drink espresso are less likely to use their own cup compared to customers who drink coffee. Customers using their own cups get a 5% discount, which is displayed on the receipt. The owner randomly selects 50 receipts from all espresso purchases and 50 receipts from all coffee purchases. For espresso purchases, 15 receipts showed that the customer used their own cup. For coffee purchases, 24 receipts showed the customer used their own cup. Let pEspresso= the true proportion of customers who drink espresso and use their own cup and pCoffeee= the true proportion of customers who drink coffee and use their own cup. Which of the following is the correct standardized test statistic and P-value for the hypotheses, Find the z-table here.

A statistics class weighed 20 bags of grapes purchased from the store. The bags are advertised to contain 16 ounces, on average. The class calculated the 90% confidence interval for the true mean weight of bags of grapes from this store to be (15.875, 16.595) ounces. What is the correct interpretation of the 90 percent confidence interval?

A
90% of the bags of grapes in the sample weigh 16 ounces.
B
90% of the bags of grapes in the sample weigh between 15.875 and 16.595 ounces.
C
We are 90% confident that the interval from 15.875 ounces to 16.595 ounces captures the true mean weight of bags of grapes.
D
If many samples of size 20 were taken, and confidence intervals created for each sample, 90% of those confidence intervals would contain the true mean weight of bags of grapes.

At a university, 34% of undergraduate students love spicy food, while 45% of graduate students love spicy food. Let and be the sample proportions of undergraduate and graduate students at this university, respectively, who love spicy food. Suppose 35 undergraduate students and 28 graduate students from this university are selected at random and asked if they love spicy food.Which of the following is the correct calculation and interpretation of the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of ?

Question illustration
A
The difference (undergraduate students – graduate students) in the sample proportions of those who love spicy food typically varies about 0.006 from the true difference in proportions.
B
The difference (undergraduate students – graduate students) in the sample proportions of those who love spicy food typically varies about 0.015 from the true difference in proportions.
C
The difference (undergraduate students – graduate students) in the sample proportions of those who love spicy food typically varies about 0.078 from the true difference in proportions.
D
The difference (undergraduate students – graduate students) in the sample proportions of those who love spicy food typically varies about 0.123 from the true difference in proportions.
