1. A large distributor of gasoline claims that 60% of all cars stopping at their service stations choose regular unleaded gas and that premium and supreme are each selected 20% of the time. To investigate this claim, researchers collected data from a random sample of drivers who put gas in their vehicles at the distributor's service stations in a large city. The results were as follows: Gasoline Selected Regular Premium Supreme 261 51 88 Carry out a test of the distributor's claim at the 5% significance level. Expected counts Regular Premium Supreme

1. The percentage of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported talking at least once in the past year with their parents about the dangers of drug, tobacco, or alcohol is 60% nationally. A state youth council believes this proportion is higher in their state, where there has been an intense media campaign about this issue. A survey of randomly chosen students from across the state shows 1032 of 1642 students reporting they are having these conversations with their parents. Is there evidence that the percent of students using drugs, tobacco or alcohol in this state is above the national rate?
Cloud seeding has been studied for many decades as a weather modification procedure. The rainfall in acre-feet from 20 clouds that were selected at random and seeded with silver nitrate follows: 18.0, 30.7, 19.8, 27.1, 22.3, 18.8, 31.8, 23.4, 21.2, 27.9, 31.9, 27.1, 25.0, 24.7, 26.9, 21.8, 29.2, 34.8, 26.7, and 31.6. There is a claim that mean rainfall from seeded clouds exceeds 25 acre-feet. The P-value for the test H0: µ = 25 versus H1: µ > 25 is closest to:
The records of a light bulb manufacturer show that, when the manufacturing machinery is working correctly, the defect rate (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1%. The manufacturer's control department periodically tests samples of the bulbs, and when 1.25% or more are defective, they call repair technicians for service. The control department is going to take a random sample of 4400 light bulbs. Let p be the proportion of defective light bulbs in the sample assuming the machinery is working correctly. A) find the mean of p b)find the standard deviation of p c)Compute an approximation for P≥p0.0125, which is the probability that, assuming the machinery is working correctly, the repair technicians will be called. Round your answer to four decimal places.

The manufacturer's control department periodically tests samples of the bulbs, and when 1.25% or more are defective, they call repair technicians for service. The control department is going to take a random sample of 4400 light bulbs. Let p be the proportion of defective light bulbs in the sample assuming the machinery is working correctly. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p. (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for P(P ≥ 0.0125), which is the probability that, assuming the machinery is working correctly, the repair technicians will be called. Round your answer to four decimal places.
In a large clinical trial, 399,884 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 201,068 children given a vaccine for a certain disease, and 26 of those children developed the disease. The other 198,816 children were given a placebo, and 91 of those children developed the disease. Consider the vaccine treatment group to be the first sample. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Assume that a 0.10 significance level will be used to test the claim that p₁
A survey is conducted to determine if there is a difference in the proportion of students, parents, and What are the appropriate hypotheses to determine if the distribution of response differs among these three populations? teachers who volunteer at least once a month. To investigate, a random sample of 45 students, 25 parents, and 12 teachers was selected from a large high school. The data are displayed in the table. O Ho: There is a difference in the distribution of responses among these three populations. Hg: There is no difference in the distribution of Student Parent Teacher responses among these three populations. 12 O Ho: There is no difference in the distribution of Yes 24 Volunteer? responses among these three populations.

The results of IKEA's Annual Job Satisfaction Survey showed that 30% of employees are very satisfied with their job, 46% are satisfied, 20% are dissatisfied, and 4% are very dissatisfied. A sample of 50 managers yielded the following results: Category Very satisfied Satisfied Dissatisfied Very dissatisfied Number of Respondents 15 20 10 5 Test using a = 1% to determine whether the job satisfaction for employees is different from the job satisfaction for managers.
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), 42% of college students nationwide engage in “binge drinking” behavior, having 5 or more drinks in one occasion during the past two weeks. A college president wonders if the proportion of students enrolled at her college that binge drink is actually different than the national proportion. In a commissioned study, 364 students are selected randomly from a list of all students enrolled at the college. Of these, 136 admitted to having engaged in binge drinking. Calculate the statistic for this sample. Calculate the standard error for this sample. Verify that we can use a normal distribution for this sample. By hand calculate a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all students at this college that engage in binge drinking. Show all work. Interpret the results of your confidence interval in the context of the…
