A company claims that 9 out of 10 doctors (i.e., 90) recommend its brand of cough syrup to their patients.
 
  To test this claim against the alternative that the actual proportion is less than 90, a random sample of 100 doctors was chosen which resulted in 87 who indicate that they recommend this cough syrup. The test statistic in this problem is approximately:
  A) -0.50 B) -0.66 C) 1.00 D) -1.00

Question 2

State your conclusion.
 
  A statistics teacher wants to know how students in her school feel about mathematics courses. She decides to administer a survey to a random sample of students taking a mathematics course.
 
  She has several sampling plans to choose from.
  a. There are four ranks of students taking the class: freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Randomly select 15 students from each class rank.
  b. Randomly select ten math class sections and survey every student in each of those sections.
  c. Each student has a nine-digit student number. Randomly choose 60 different nine-digit numbers and survey the students that correspond to those numbers.
  d. Randomly select a number from 1 to 5. Using the class roster, start at that number, then select every fifth student from the list after that.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
