Cheating: For a statistics project a community college student at Diablo Valley College (DVC) decides to investigate cheating in two popular majors at DVC: business and nursing. She selects a random sample of nursing and business courses and convinces the professors to distribute a short anonymous survey in their classes. The question about cheating is one of many other questions about college life. When the student summarizes the data, she finds that 42 of the 50 business students and 38 of the 70 nursing students admitted to cheating in their courses. True or false? The counts suggest that the normal model is a good fit for the sampling distribution of sample differences. (a) a·False o b. True

Kiersten · Answer 1

The answer is False

Step-by-step explanation:

The count does no suggest that the normal model is a good fit for sampling the distribution because the questions used for the test and survey is the one of many other question about cheating which implies that if other questions about college life are being used as the survey, the response would probably be that more of the student would not have admitted to cheating. This concept therefore disobeys the normal distribution model which is a bell shaped model and therefore assumes that at an average, the number of students that admitted to cheating in the major courses should be equal.
