Suppose you want to perform a test to compare the mean GPA of all freshmen with the mean GPA of all sophomores in a college? What type of sampling is required for this test? ??? a. Independent sampling with quantitative data b. Matched-pairs sampling with quantitative data c. Independent sampling with qualitative data d. Matched-pairs sampling with qualitative data

Suppose you want to estimate the mean GPA of all students at your school. You set up a table in the library asking for volunteers to tell you their GPAs. a. Will this method produce a representative sample? Why or why not? b. If there is bias in the experiment, explain what type of bias is present. c. Design a simple random sample to estimate the mean GPA of all students at an online College.

You take a random sample of 100 students at your university and find that their average GPA is 3.1. If you use this information to help you estimate the average GPA for all students at your university, then you are doing what branch of statistics? Select one: A. Inferential statistics B. Descriptive statistics C. Sample statistics D. Population statistics

Suppose that you want to perform a hypothesis test for a population mean based on a small sample but that preliminary data analyses indicate either the presence of outliers or that the variable under consideration is far from normally distributed. a. Is either the $z$ -test or $t$ -test appropriate? b. If not, what type of procedure might be appropriate?
