1.) Phoebe has a hunch that older students at her high school are more likely to bring
a bag lunch than younger students, because they have grown tired of cafeteria
food. she takes a simple random sample of 80 sophomores and finds that 52 of
them bring a bag lunch. a simple random sample of 104 seniors reveals that 78 of
them bring a bag lunch. Does this data provide convincing evidence to support
Pheobe's hunch at the 5% significant level?

The data in this experiment is not convincing enough to prove the hypothesis.

What is convincing evidence?

In an experiment, convincing evidence means the data collected is relevant and accurate enough to prove the hypothesis. For the data to be considered convincing it should:

  • Prove the hypothesis: This condition is satisfied because the data collected can prove older students are more likely to bring a bag lunch.
  • Be collected using random samples: This condition is satisfied because students were selected randomly.
  • Consider the standard or norma: This condition is met because the research compares the number of sophomore students that bring a bag lunch vs the number of seniors.7

Moreover, the P-value should be always smaller than the significant level. In the case of this study, the P-value is 0.069, which means it is greater than the significant level 0.05 and this causes the data is not convincing enough.
