Fifteen students from Poppy High School were accepted at Branch University. Of those students, six were offered academic scholarships and nine were not. Mrs. Bergen believes Branch University may be accepting students with lower ACT scores if they have an academic scholarship. The newly accepted student ACT scores are shown here.

Academic scholarship: 25, 24, 23, 21, 22, 20
No academic scholarship: 23, 25, 30, 32, 29, 26, 27, 29, 27

Part A: Do these data provide convincing evidence of a difference in ACT scores between students with and without an academic scholarship? Carry out an appropriate test at the α = 0.02 significance level. (5 points)

Part B: Create and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the difference in the ACT scores between students with and without an academic scholarship.

Q.1 dr. frank needs to choose 3 students from her advanced biology course to attend a conference in hawaii. the course has 40 students. which of the following methods could dr. frank use to choose a simple, random sample of 3 students? select all that apply. 1 dr. frank could have the students line up from shortest to tallest, then use her birthdate, 2/5/39, to select 3 students from the line (the 2nd student, the 5th student, and the 39th student). 2. dr. frank could upload her class roster into a spreadsheet and use a ranom-number generating function to produce 3 random numbers. the students whose names are located in the rows with these 3 numbers on the spreadsheet would be chosen. 3. dr. frank could choose the students with the 3 highest grades in the class. 4. dr. frank could count to three, then the first students to come to the front of the classroom and grab a golden ticket from her hand would be selected. 5. dr. frank could ask all students to write their name on a card, place all of the cards in a hat, shake the hat, and then pull 3 cards out from the hat. the students whose names appear on those 3 cards will be selected. 6. dr. frank could ask for volunteers to go to the conference, then choose the first 3 students who raise their hands. q2. now, choose one of the methods that you did not select and explain why this method would not result in a simple, random sample:
