A state university wants to increase it retention rate of 4% for graduating students from the previous year. After implementing several new programs during the last two years, the university reevaluates it retention rate and comes up with a P-value of 0.075. What is a reasonable conclusion?

We can say there is a 7.5% chance of seeing the new programs having no effect on retention in the results we observed from natural sampling variation. There is no evidence the new programs are more effective, but we cannot conclude that they have no effect on retention.

There is a92.5% chance of the new programs having no effect on retention.

There is a 7.5% chance of the new programs having no effect on retention.

There's only a 7.5% chance of seeing the new programs having no effect on retention in the results we observed from natural sampling variation. We conclude the new programs are more effective.

A company hopes to improve its engines, setting a goal of no more than 3% of customers using their warranty on defective engine parts. A random survey of 1200 customers found only 20 with complaints. Create a 95% confidence interval for the true level of warranty users among all customers.

Based on the data we are 95% confident the proportion of warranty users is between 0.9% and 2.4%. Therefore the company met its goal.

Based on the data we are 95% confident the proportion of warranty users is between 2.0% and 2.4%. Therefore the company has met its goal.

Based on the data we are 95% confident the proportion of warranty users is between 0.9% and 3.8%. therefore, the company has not met its goal.

Based on the data we are 95% confident the proportion of warranty users is between 0% and 2.4%. Therefore, the company has met its goal.

A state university wants to increase its retention rate of 4% for graduating students from the previous year. After implementing several new programs during the last two years, the university reevaluated its retention rate using a random sample of 352 students and found the retention rate at 5%. Test the appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. Be sure to check assumptions and conditions.

Ho: p = .04; Ha: p> .04; z = 0.96; P-value = 0.1685. This data does not show that more than 4% of students are retained; they should not continue with the new programs.

Ho: p = .04; Ha: p<.04; z = -1.07; P-value =0.8577. This data shows that more than 4% of the students are retained; the university should continue with the new programs.

Ho: p = .04; Ha: p ≠ .04; z = 1.07; P-value = 0.2846; This data does not show that more than 4% of students are retained; the university should not continue with the new programs.

the probability that the null is true given the observed statistic
