(Questions #1-6: Mr. Henderson is trying to learn about how his past students feel about him as a teacher.

Of the 1603 people who returned the survey, 57.8% thought that Mr. Henderson was an effective teacher.)
1. What type of survey/statistical study did Mr. Henderson attempt to do by contacting every student that he has ever taught?
2. What type of survey/statistical study actually happened (not everyone returned the survey)?
3. Who is the population in this scenario?
4. What is the parameter for Mr. Henderson’s study?
5. What is the statistic?
6. Find the Margin of Error for this scenario, write the Confidence Interval, and then make a 95% Confidence Statement (be sure to show work that supports your answers).
7. What is the Margin of Error for a 95% Confidence Interval if the sample size is 400 individuals?
8. Give an example of something that would be considered a numerical variable and something that would be considered a categorical variable (be sure to label which is which).
(Question 9: You are part of a group of medical researchers planning an experiment to test whether aspirin helps prevent repeated heart attacks. The subjects are 700 male heart attack patients under 60 years old. You hope that taking 325 mg. of aspirin each day will prevent future heart attacks. The subjects will be observed for a five-year period.)
9. You have the names of all 700 subjects and have numbered them 001-700. Use the random digit table to select the first five participants
