Solution

The question is asking which of the options is NOT something you avoid by keeping your hands on your lap. Let's go through each option:

a. Being overconfident - Keeping your hands on your lap could potentially make you appear less overconfident, as it is a more reserved posture.

b. Being nervous - Keeping your hands on your lap could help to calm nerves, as it prevents fidgeting and gives you something to do with your hands.

c. Fidgeting - Keeping your hands on your lap would certainly help to avoid fidgeting, as your hands are occupied and not free to fidget.

d. Being confident - Keeping your hands on your lap does not necessarily prevent you from being confident. Confidence is more about your mental state and how you carry yourself overall, not just about what you do with your hands.

So, the answer is d. Being confident. This is not something you avoid by keeping your hands on your lap.

Mary conducted a study to investigate whether first year science students were more likely than University students in general to use laptops (or tablets) to take notes in lectures. Within the population of university students only 20% reported that they used laptops or tablets to take notes in lectures. A random sample of 40 first year science students was selected and it was found that 14 students reported using laptops or tablets to take notes in lectures.Mary assumed first year science students were no different from University students in general with regards to their use of laptops (tablets) in lectures.   She then used a normal approximation to determine the probability of observing 14 or more students, out of 40, using laptops (tablets). Which one of the following statements is false?   If she didn't use a continuity correction her probability will be an underestimate of the exact probability  If she did use a continuity correction her probability will still be an underestimate of the exact probability   Assuming Mary's model is correct, the exact probability of observing 14 students  using a laptop or tablet to take notes in lectures is 0.0115  If Mary repeated this study many times then approxiately 14 times out of 1000  she should expect to observe 14 or more first year science students using a laptop or tablet (to take notes in lectures).   Based on evidence form Mary's sample,  first year science students seem to be more likley to use laptops (tablets) in lectures than the university students in general.Revise the end of chapter 4 - normal approximation to the Binomial.
