  1. Tane surveyed 60 students about their preferred type of music and whether they play an instrument.

  2. A medical researcher is studying the effectiveness of a new drug for reducing cholesterol levels. In a clinical trial with 180 patients, the mean reduction in LDL cholesterol was 28.4 mg/dL with a standard deviation of 7.2 mg/dL. The researcher wants to test if this reduction is significantly greater than the standard treatment's average reduction of 25 mg/dL. Using a significance level of α = 0.01, calculate the test statistic and determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the new drug provides a greater reduction than the standard treatment.
  3. A survey was conducted at a high school to determine students' preferred music genre and their favorite subject. The data is summarized in the following two-way table: | | Math | English | Science | |--------------|------|---------|---------| | Rock | 15 | 9 | 21 | | Pop | 11 | 25 | 13 | | Hip-Hop | 7 | 17 | 19 | Complete the two-way frequency table by calculating the row totals, column totals, and the grand total. Then, based on the completed table, how many students prefer Pop music and also chose English as their favorite subject?
