Investigations: The objective of this lab is to investigate the responses of the participants in the study with the intension of providing useful information about the students to the designers of the new computer labs.

1. Begin by providing an estimate for the fraction of students who played a video game in the week prior to the survey. Provide an interval estimate as well as a point estimate for the proportion.
2. Check to see how the amount of time spent playing video games in the week prior to the survey compares to the reported frequency of play (i.e., daily, weekly, etc.) How might the fact that there was an exam in the week prior to the survey affect your previous estimates and this comparison?
3. Consider making an interval estimate for the average amount of time spent playing video games in the week prior to the survey. Do you think the data you have here support your normality assumption?
4. Look for difference between those who like to play video games and those who do not. To do this, use the questions in the last part of the survey, and make comparisons between (i) male and female students,(ii)those who work for pay and those who do not, (iii) those who own a computer and those who do not, or (iv) those who expect. A’s in the class and those who do not. Graphical displays and cross-tabulations are particularly helpful in making these kinds of comparisons. Also, you may want to collapse the range of responses to a question down to two or these possibilities before making this comparison.
5. Just for fun, further investigate the grade that students expect in the course. How well does it match the target distribution used in grade assignment of 20% As, 30% Bs, 40% Cs, and 10% D or lower? If the non-respondents were failing students who no longer bothered to come to the discussion section, would this change the picture?
