Calculate Total Students: Headline A: OVER 300 STUDENTS WANT TO START AFTER 8:00 AMTo verify this headline, we need to add the number of students who prefer the 8:30 AM and 9:00 AM start times from both samples and then extrapolate to the entire student population.Calculation: (Sample #1 for 8:30 AM+Sample #1 for 9:00 AM)+(Sample #2 for 8:30 AM+Sample #2 for 9:00 AM)=(18+10)+(19+7)=28+26=54To extrapolate to the entire student population: (54 students/80 surveyed)×600 total students=405 students
Compare Start Times: Headline B: 8:30 AM START TIME MOST POPULAR WITH STUDENTSTo verify this headline, we need to compare the number of students who prefer the 8:30 AM start time to the other start times in both samples.Calculation: Sample \#1 for 8:30 AM (18) and Sample \#2 for 8:30 AM (19) are both higher than the other times in their respective samples.
Calculate Percentage: Headline C: SMALL PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS WANT TO START AT 9:00 AMTo verify this headline, we need to determine the percentage of students who prefer the 9:00 AM start time in both samples.Calculation: (Sample #1 for 9:00 AM+Sample #2 for 9:00 AM)/Total students surveyed=(10+7)/80=17/80=0.2125 or 21.25%
Calculate Students for 7:45 AM: Headline D: LESS THAN 100 STUDENTS WANT TO START AT 7:45 AMTo verify this headline, we need to add the number of students who prefer the 7:45 AM start time from both samples and then extrapolate to the entire student population.Calculation: (Sample #1 for 7:45 AM + Sample #2 for 7:45 AM) = 12+14=26To extrapolate to the entire student population: (26 students / 80 surveyed) * 600 total students = 195 students
