Solution

The appeal that would most likely move the local school board to support the cause of changing the high school start time from 7:10 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. would be: "Studies show that teenagers' bodies have a biological drive to stay awake fairly late at night, so early start times lead to a constantly overtired student population."

This argument is based on scientific evidence and focuses on the well-being of the students, which should be a primary concern for the school board. It suggests that changing the start time could improve students' health and academic performance. The other options either rely on anecdotal evidence or focus on individual experiences, which may not be as persuasive to a school board focused on the needs of all students.

examples of starting school late

The Boston public school district has had difficulty maintaining on-time bus service for its students ("A Year Later, School Buses Still Late," Boston Globe, October 5). Suppose the district develops a new bus schedule to help combat chronic lateness on a particularly woeful route. Historically, the bus service on the route has been, on average, 17 minutes late. After the schedule adjustment, the first 25 runs were an average of eight minutes late. As a result, the Boston public school district claimed that the schedule adjustment was an improvement—students were not as late. Assume a population standard deviation for bus arrival time of 17 minutes. The value of the test statistic is __________.Multiple Choicez = −0.33t35 = −0.33t35 = −2.65z = −2.65
