Does each survey indicate the majority’s preference? Explain. 6. A local news team polls a city’s residents about whether resurfacing the city’s major roads or upgrading the city’s public transportation system ought to be the priority in the municipal budget. The polls shows that 54% think the roads should be the priority, while 46% think the public transportation system should be the priority. The survey’s margin of error is +/-3%.
Yes; 54% +/- 3% +/- 51% to 57% and 46% +/- 3% , 43% to 49%. The intervals do not overlap, so the survey indicates that the majority think roads should be the priority.

A researcher wants to test the effect of listening to classical music while sleeping has on students’ math test scores. The table below shows his data. Control 88 77 76 82 68 73 75 92 81 Test 80 79 78 70 88 95 62 82 79 Compare the results of the control group and the test group. Do you think that the researcher has enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis?
The measures of the control group are min: 68, Quart. 1: 74, med: 77, Quart. 3: 85, max: 92, and the measures for the test group are min: 62, Quart. 1: 74, med: 79, Quart. 3: 85, max: 95. There is little difference in the two groups. The researcher cannot reject the null hypothesis, which means listening to classical music while sleeping has no effect on math scores.
