25- A corporation randomly selects 150 salespeople and finds that 66% who have never taken a self- improvement course would like such a course. The firm did a similar study 10 years ago in which 60% of a random sample of 160 salespeople wanted a self-improvement course. The groups are assumed to be independent random samples. Let 71 and 72 represent the true proportion of workers who would like to attend a self-improvement course in the recent study and the past study, respectively. If the firm wanted to test whether this proportion has changed from the previous study, which represents the relevant hypotheses? a) Ho T1- T2 = 0 versus H1: T – 72 O b) Ho T1 72>0 versus Hr: T1 C) T2 70 versus Hr: T T2 = 0 d) Ho T T2 <0 versus H1: T1 T2>0

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. The same college president is more interested in testing her suspicion that the proportion of students at her college that binge drink is different than the national proportion of .37. Use the statistic provided for her college above for your test. A. Define the null and alternative hypotheses to test this claim. B. By hand, calculate the test statistic for this test. C. Use…
The National Academy of Science reported that 41% of research in mathematics is published by US authors. The mathematics chairperson of a prestigious university wishes to test the claim that this percentage is no longer 41%. He has no indication of whether the percentage has increased or decreased since that time. He surveys a simple random sample of 186 recent articles published by reputable mathematics research journals and finds that 92 of these articles have US authors. Does this evidence support the mathematics chairperson’s claim that the percentage is no longer 41%? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

A warehouse manager wants to know if there is an association between the shift worked and being on time for work. To investigate, he selects a random sample of 70 workers and classifies each one according to the shift they worked most recently and whether they were on time for work. He was unable to classify a substantial number of people as being on time, so he classified those individuals as unknown. The data are displayed in the table. The manager would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence of an association between the shift worked and being on time in the large population of all workers at this warehouse. The random and 10% conditions are met. Is the Large Counts condition met? Yes, the smallest expected count is 5, so all expected counts are at least 5. Yes, the smallest expected count is 8.54, so all expected counts are at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is 2.56, so the expected counts are not all at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is…
A sociologist studying New York City ethnic groups wants to determine if there is a difference in income for immigrants from four different countries during their first year in the city. She obtained the data in the following table from a random sample of immigrants from these countries (incomes in thousands of dollars). Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that there is no difference in the earnings of immigrants from the four different countries. Country I Country II Country III Country IV 12.3 8.3 20.4 17.3 9.1 17.2 16.5 8.7 10.9 19.2 22.8 14.2 8.8 10.2 5.5 21.4 16.1 19.2 19.3 (b) Find SSTOT, SSBET, and SSW and check that SSTOT = SSBET + SSW.

It is believed that 11% of all Americans are left-handed. A college needs to know how many left-handed desks to place in the big lecture halls being constructed on its campus. In a random sample of 210 students from that college, whether or not a student was left-handed was recorded for each student. The college wants to know if the data provide enough evidence to show that students at this college have a higher percentage of left-handers than the general American population? State the random variable, population parameter, and hypotheses. State the Type I and Type II errors in the context of this problem.

In a survey of 1,000 women aged 22 to 35 who work full time, 555 indicated that they would be willing to give up some personal time in order to make more money. The sample was selected in a way that was designed to produce a sample that was representative of women in the targeted age group. (a) Do the sample data provide convincing evidence that the majority of women aged 22 to 35 who work full-time would be willing to give up some personal time for more money? Test the relevant hypotheses using ? = 0.01. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z = P-value = (B ) State your conclusion. a. Fail to reject H0. We have convincing evidence that a majority of women aged 22 to 35 who work full time would be willing to give up some personal time for more money. b. Fail to reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that a majority of women aged 22 to 35 who work full…
One cable company claims that it has excellent customer service. In fact, the company advertises that a technician will arrive within 45 minutes after a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not accurate, claiming that it takes over 45 minutes for the cable technician to arrive. The customer asks a simple random sample of 25 other cable customers how long it has taken for the cable technician to arrive when they have called for one. The sample mean for this group is 47.9 minutes with a standard deviation of 7.6 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test the customer's claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Ho : μ = 45 Ha:μ 45

The firm did a similar study 10 years ago in which 60% of a random sample of 160 salespeople wanted a self-improvement course. The groups are assumed to be independent random samples. Let π1 and π2 represent the true proportion of workers who would like to attend a self-improvement course in the recent study and the past study, respectively. If the firm wanted to test whether a greater proportion of workers would currently like to attend a self-improvement course than in the past, which represents the relevant hypotheses? A.

A local school board wants to estimate the difference in the proportion of households with school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier, and the proportion of households without school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier. They survey a random sample of 40 households with school-aged children about whether they would support starting the school year a week earlier, and 30 households respond yes. They survey a random sample of 45 households that do not have school-aged children, and 25 respond yes. Assuming the conditions for inference have been met, what is the 90% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of households that would support starting the school year a week earlier? Find the z-table here. 0.75(1-0.75), 0.56(1-0.56) O (0.75 - 0.56) ±1.65 45 40 0.75(1-0.75) 0.56(1-0.56) O (0.75 - 0.56) ±1.96, 85 85 O (0.75 - 0.56) ±1.65, 0.75(1-0.75) 0.56(1-0.56) + 40 45 O (0.75 - 0.56) ±1.96 0.75(1-0.75)…
