There are about 2,700 institutions of higher learning in the United States (inclduing junior colleges and community colleges). In 1976, as part of a continuing study of higher education, the Carnegie Commission took a simple random sample of 225 of these institutions. The average enrollment in the 225 sample schools was 3,700, with an SD of 6,000. A histogram for the enrollments was plotted and did not follow the normal curve. However, the average enrollment of all the 2,700 institutions was estimated to be 3,700, give or take 400 or so. Say whether each of the following statements is true or false, and explain why. a. It is estimated that 95% of the institutions in the United States enroll between 3,700-800 and 3,700+800=4,500 students.
b. An approximate 95%-confidence interval for the average enrollment of all 2,700 institutions runs from 2,900 to 4,500.
c. If someone takes a simple random sample of 225 institutions of higher learning, and goes 2 SEs either way from the average enrollment of the 225 sample schools, there is about a 95% chance that this interval will cover the average enrollment of all 2,700 schools.
d. The normal curve can't be used to figure confidence intervals here at all, because the data don't follow the normal curve.

In tossing one coin 10 times, what are your chances for tossing a head? a tail? 2. in tossing one coin 100 times, what are your chances for tossing a head? a tail? 3. in tossing one coin 200 times, what are your chances for tossing a head? a tail? deviation = ((absolute value of the difference between expected heads and observed heads) + (absolute value of the difference between expected tails and observed tails)) divided by total number of tosses. this value should always be positive. 4. what is the deviation for 10 tosses? 5. what is the deviation for the 100 tosses? 6. what is the deviation for 200 tosses? 7. how does increasing the total number of coin tosses from 10 to 100 affect the deviation? 8. how does increasing the total number of tosses from 100 to 200 affect the deviation? 9. what two important probability principles were established in this exercise? 10. the percent of occurrence is the obtained results divided by the total tosses and multiplied by 100%. toss the coins 100 times and record your results. calculate the percent occurrence for each combination. percent head-head occurrence: percent tail-tail occurrence: percent head-tail occurrence:
