*How Long Do You Take To Get Ready In The Morning To Go To School?* By: Vanessa Miranda, Yesenia Flores, and Pedro Huerta Period 62011-2012
California Standards: • 8.0: Students 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. • 17.0 Students determine confidence intervals for a simple random sample from a normal distribution of data and determines the sample size required for a desire margin of error. • 18.0 Students determine the p-value for a statistic for a simple random sample from a normal distribution.
Hypothesis • We believe that the average minutes that students from Century High School take to get ready is 15 minutes.
Data Collection • We used Stratified Sampling to gather our information/data. We asked boys and girls from each grade at Century High School how long do they take to get ready for school. We asked 40 students, 5 boys and 5 girls from each grade.
Data • Time in minutes • 45,50,60,1:30,1:15,20,30,25,30,30,30,30,30, 30,45,45,30,10,30,20,50,15,20,30,45,25,25,45,30,20,15,10,15,20,60,5,30,35,20,10,25
Statistics • From our survey, Students mean time to get ready is 31.625, with a sample standard deviation 18.095
Confidence Interval • 95% Confidence Interval • Z-Interval • (26.017, 32.477) • We are 95% confident mean commute time for all students to get ready are between 26.017 to 32.477 minutes.
Hypothesis Testing • Test Hypothesis • We believe that the average minutes that students from Century High School take to get ready is 15 minutes. • 45,50,60,1:30,1:15,20,30,25,30,30,30,30,30, 30,45,45,30,10,30,20,50,15,20,30,45,25,25,45,30,20,15,10,15,20,60,5,30,35,20,10,25 • At 5% level of significance, we failed to reject. There is enough evidence to support our claim.
Conclusion • We hypothesized that century students time in minutes to get ready was an average of 15 minutes. In our survey of 40 students, we find the sample mean of with a standard deviation of 18 minutes. We concluded that the population mean for all students is between 26.017 to 32.477 minutes with a 95% confident. We test our initial hypothesis with5% level of significance, and confirm our hypothesis is correct.
Error Analysis: • Our Sample mean is 18 minutes, and we are 95% confidence level for the population mean is between 26.017 to 32.477 minutes. The marginal error is about 6 minutes. • our sample error is due to possible under representation of the population. Some students might have had special occasions and that’s the reason they have to take more time to get ready. While other students were just lazy like Pedro Huerta. Some students might of lie on our survey and just might of said a round number that just came to their head.
