I) In order to investigate how many hours a day students at their school tend to spend on course work outside of regularly scheduled class time, a statistics student takes a random sample of 150 students from their school by randomly choosing names from a list of all full - time students at their school that semester. The student finds that the average reported daily study hours among the 150 students is 2.23 hours. Identify each of the following, and state its value where possible. a) Population of interest b) Sample c) Parameter of interest d) Statistic II) Suppose you take many samples and compute the sample mean for each sample. Will the distribution of your sample means have more or less variability than the distribution of one of your samples?

A survey was conducted, and a sample of college students was asked about whether they held a part-time job while taking classes. Of those who said "yes," they reported working the following number of hours in the past week: 5, 6, 6, 10, 4. (a) Is the average number of hours worked by the selected students a parameter or a statistic? parameter statistic (b) Calculate the sample standard deviation (in hours) of this data set. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) hr (c) Suppose that this survey was repeated, but that this time, 100 students who worked in the past week reported how many hours they worked. Suppose also that the sample variance of this new sample was 10.89. What is the value of the sample standard deviation (in hours)? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) hr
