18 A powerful women's group has claimed that men and women differ in attitudes about sexual discrimination. A group of 50 men (group 1) and 40 women (group 2) were asked if they thought sexual discrimination is a problem in the United States. Of those sampled, 11 of the men and 19 of the women did believe that sexual discrimination is a problem. If the p-value turns out to be 0.035 (which is not the real value in this data set), then a) None would be correct statements. b) at a= 0.05, you should fail to reject Ho C) O at a= 0.03, you should reject Ho d) at a= 0.04, you should reject Ho

5. In the United States, there is a strong relationship between education and smoking: well-educated people are less likely to smoke. Does a similar relationship hold in France? To find out, researchers recorded the level of education and smoking status of a random sample of 459 French men aged 20 to 60 years.36 The two-way table below displays the data. Is there convincing evidence of an association between smoking status and educational level among French men aged 20 to 60 years?

People often say “Distance makes the heart fonder.” Interestingly, due to pandemic related lockdowns, some persons have been implicitly or explicitly indicating that it is indeed true as they have been struggling with their relationships due to lack of time apart from their partner. A researcher who is interested in such an issue decided to collect data on the level of rage/edginess that exist among a few couples due to lockdowns. Participants were asked to rank the level of hostility they think they have been exerting towards their partner due to having to spend more time than they usually do with them. The resulting data is presented on page two (2). 2 *14 is the highest level of hostility. Level of hostility Number of partners 0-1 4 2-3 11 4-5 8 6-7 20 8-9 25 10-11 12 12-13 12 13-14 4 a.

Periodically, customers of a financial services company are asked to evaluate the company's financial consultants and services. Higher ratings on the client satisfaction survey indicate better service, with 7 the maximum service rating. Independent samples of service ratings for two financial consultants are summarized here. Consultant A has 10 years of experience, whereas consultant B has 1 year of experience. Use a 0.05 and test to see whether the consultant with more experience has the higher population mean service rating.

Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?
What is a Type I error in this problem? A. A Type I error would be to conclude that the true mean level of support for sustainability is not 66 when, in fact, the mean is equal to 66. B. A Type I error would be to conclude that the sample mean level of support for sustainability is greater than 66 when, in fact, the sample mean is less than 66. C. A Type I error would be to conclude that the true mean level of support for sustainability is 66 when, in fact, the mean is not equal to 66. D. A Type I error would be to conclude that the sample mean level of support for sustainability is less than 66 when, in fact, the sample mean is greater than 66.
A researcher uses matched-subjects design to investigate whether single people with pets vary in their happiness level compared to singles without pets. A mood inventory survey is given to a group of 20- to 29-year-old non-pet owners and a similar age group of pet owners. The pet owners are matched one to one with the non-pet owners for income, number of close friendships, and general health. Is there a significant difference in the mood scores for non-pet owners versus pet owners. Test with a =.05 for two tails.
8. The Harris Poll conducted a survey in which they asked "How many tattoos do you currently have on your body?" Of the 1205 randomly selected males who responded, 181 indicated that they had at least one tattoo. Of 1097 randomly selected females who responded, 143 indicated that they had at least one tattoo. Test using a 99% level of confidence whether the proportion of males with at least one tattoo is different from the proportion of females with at least one tattoo.
