Suppose a sporting goods store sold treadmills, exercise bikes, and equipment service contracts over the past
six months as shown in the table below.
Equipment and Service Contract Sales
Treadmill Exercise Bike
Equipment Sales 185 123
Service Contract Sales 67 55
The store can only sell a service contract on a new piece of equipment. Of the 185 treadmills sold, 67 included
a service contract and 118 did not.
Respond to the following in a Word document and submit:
Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of service contracts sold
on treadmills versus exercise bikes.
Determine if there is or is not a major difference between the two pieces of equipment and provide a rationale
for your response.

 

 

 

Sample Solution

Thousands of indigenous children were removed from their homes and sent to residential schools across Canada. Residential schools were used as a means to eliminate all aspects of Indigenous culture. By enforcing mandatory enrollment into government funded facilities run by the church, the government hoped to assimilate the indigenous people. Learning to communicate in English adopting Christianity and developing agricultural, home making and trade skills were some of the requirements of the children that attended residential schools. The Canadian government believed that by adopting a new more “civil” way of life through the dismissal of Indigenous traditions, culture and language was the only way the indigenous population would thrive.
The Lejac or Fraser Lake Residential School named after Father Jean Marie Lejac was located on Fraser Lake in northern British Columbia and opened in 1890. As the number of children forcibly removed from their homes increased a larger facility was required. In 1922 a new building was erected that would accommodate the influx of students. Many of the children that attended the institution were from surrounding communities such as the Gitxsan, Wet’suwet’en and Sekani. From 1922 to 1976 when the institution closed Lejac residential school was operated by the missionaries from the Order of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate of the Roman Catholic Church .The Dakelhs spiritual beliefs that were centered on Utakke (high God or sky spirit) and many spirits in nature were abandoned and Christianity was adopted.
The school was located in the heart of Dakelh Territory in North central British Columbia and many children that attended the school were of Dakelh descent, practiced Dakelh cultural traditions and spoke the dialect of their region. The English name Carrier is a translation of the Sekani name for the Dakelh, Aghele. The origin of this term comes from the widows of Dakelh men who carried around their cremated remains for a period of mourning that lasted approximately three years.
