A study reported that about half of high school seniors study for upcoming math tests. To find out if this applies to seniors at Garfield High School, an SRS of 30 seniors was asked if they study for their math tests. Nineteen responded "Yes.”

A dotplot is provided showing the results of 40 trials of this simulation.

A dotplot titled seniors who study for math tests have number of seniors who responded yes on the x-axis, and frequency on the y-axis. 12, 2; 13, 5; 14, 6; 15, 11; 16, 9; 17, 4; 18, 2; 9, 0; 20, 1.

Does this provide convincing evidence that seniors at Garfield High School study more than the report stated?

No, there is an outlier at 20.
No, there were outcomes as low as 12.
Yes, only one trial had a result of 19 or larger.
Yes, more than half of the simulated results are over 15.

Answer:

Yes, only one trial had a result of 19 or larger.

Explanation:

The claim reported is that only about half of high school seniors study for upcoming math test. However, at Garfield a sizeable number of the 30 surveyed observation gave a symmetrical distribution about the study pattern of their high school seniors with only one trial a frequency of yes greater than or equal to 19
