California Standards 17.0Students determine confidence intervals for a simple random sample from a normal distribution of data and determine the sample size required for a desired margin of error. 8.0Students organize and describe distributions of data by using a number of different methods, including frequency tables, histograms, standard line and bar graphs, stem-and-leaf displays, scatter plots, and box-and-whisker plots. 18.0 Students determine the P-value for a statistic for a simple random sample from a normal distribution.
We believe that the average applications students at Century have are 6 apps in their mobile devices. Hypothesis
We used stratified sampling as a data collection method. Each of us asked 10 students, from freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Data collection Our possible bias is that we asked certain students we know.

Statistics • From our survey, students sample of apps mean number is 14.3 and the standard deviation is 13.1.
Confidence Interval • 95% Confidence Interval • Z-Interval • (10.146, 18.419) • We are 95% confident that the number of apps that each student has are between 10.1 to 18.4.
Hypothesis Testing Hypothesis: Test Statistics: P-Value=0.00007< At 5% level of significance, we failed to reject the claim. There is enough evidence to support our claim.
ERROR ANALYSIS • Our sample mean is 14.3 applications, and the 95% confidence level for the population mean is between 10.146 to 18.419 applications. • Our sample error is due to possible under representation of the population. We believe that some people were not sure with the number of apps they have.
Conclusion • We hypothesized that Century students’ average number of apps are 6. In our survey of 39 students, we found the sample mean of 14.3 apps with a standard deviation of 13.1. We conclude that the population mean for all the students is between 10.1 to 18.4. We test our initial hypothesis with 5% level of significance, and confirm our hypothesis is incorrect.
