| Note: The goal of the project is to practice making a confidence interval for a mean and proportion with real data. Do not worry about failed assumptions tests and do not make corrections for small sample size. Use primary methods described in text and used on homework. | |||||||||||||

| Note: The goal of the project is to practice conducting a hypothesis test for a mean and proportion with real data. Do not worry about failed assumptions tests. Use primary methods described in text and used on homework. | ||||||||||||
| For the following two hypothesis tests, use alpha = .05 | ||||||||||||
| Points | Claim: The average age of online students is 32 years old. Can you prove it is not? | |||||||||||
