Question

The 2014 Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) included a question that asked faculty how much of their coursework emphasizes the memorization of facts, ideas, or methods so that students can repeat them in pretty much the same form. The results are below.



Very little: 21.5% Some: 33.7% Quite a bit: 27.7% Very much: 17.1%



A small study that same year asked 400 randomly selected community college students how much of their coursework emphasized memorizing facts, ideas, or methods so that they can repeat them in pretty much the same form. The results are below.



Very little: 39 Some: 139 Quite a bit: 148 Very much: 74



What are the HYPOTHESES that would be used in a test of the claim that the distribution of faculty responses to this question is the same as the distribution of student responses?

a. H0: pvery little = 0.0975, psome = 0.3475, pquite a bit = 0.37, pvery much = 0.185



H1: at least one of these proportions is different from the distribution in H0 b. H0: pvery little = 39, psome = 139, pquite a bit = 148, pvery much = 74

H1: at least one of these proportions is different from the distribution in H0 c. H0: pvery little = psome = pquite a bit = pvery much



H1: at least one of these proportions is different from the others d. H0: pvery little = 0.215, psome = 0.337, pquite a bit = 0.277, pvery much = 0.171

H1: at least one of these proportions is different from the distribution in H0

Explanation / Answer

The correct set of hypotheses will be:

H0: pvery little = 0.215, psome = 0.337, pquite a bit= 0.277, pvery much = 0.171
H1: at least one of these proportions is different from the distribution in H0

Option D is correct.
