1. **State the problem:** Identify key details from the study about truancy and answer the questions based on the information given. 2. **Who were the participants in this study?** The participants were students at Dalenova College who were randomly selected to be in the study. 3. **What kind of study was this?** This is an observational study because participants chose which group to join rather than being randomly assigned. 4. **Is the explanatory variable best described as a treatment variable or a factor of interest?** It is best described as a factor of interest since participants self-selected their group. 5. **Based on the size of the p-value, will the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the true means contain only positive values?** Since the p-value is 0.0032, which is less than 0.05, the 95% confidence interval will contain only positive values. So, the answer is **yes**. 6. **Could a claim be made that 'watching a talk from a business entrepreneur causes a change in truancy'?** No, because the study design is observational, not experimental, so causation cannot be established. The answer is **no**. 7. **Is it good statistical practice to only consider the p-value when writing conclusions?** No, other factors like study design, effect size, and confidence intervals should also be considered. The answer is **no**.
