3) A weight loss center provided a loss for 72% of its participants. The center's leader decides to test a new weight loss strategy ona random sample size of 140 and found weight loss in 78% of the participants. Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. Be sure the appropriate assumptions and conditions are satisfied before you proceed.

The Wisconsin Fish and Game Department stocked a lake with 30% catfish, 15 % bass, 40% bluegill, and 15% Northern Pike. Five years later they took a random sample of 500 fish from the lake and found 120 catfish, 85 bass, 220 bluegill, and 75 Northern Pike. At the 5% level of significance, can we show that the distribution of fish changed over the 5-year interval? State and test appropriate hypotheses. State conclusions.
You work for a marketing firm that has a large client in the automobile industry. You have been asked to estimate the proportion of households in Chicago that have two or more vehicles. You have been assigned to gather a random sample that could be used to estimate this proportion to within a 0.035 margin of error at a 99% level of confidence. a) With no prior research, what sample size should you gather in order to obtain a 0.035 margin of error? b) Your firm has decided that your plan is too expensive, and they wish to reduce the sample size required. You conduct a small preliminary sample, and you obtain a sample proportion of ˆp=0.185. Using this new information. what sample size should you gather in order to obtain a 0.035 margin of error
A shareholders' group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 11 years. A survey of 62 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 9.3 years for CEOS with a standard deviation of s = 4.4 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007). You don't know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed. You want to formulate and test a hypothesis that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by the group, at a significance level of a = 0.05. Your hypotheses are: H.:µ > 11 На: :и < 11 What is the test statistic for this sample?

Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
The jobless rate for Italy in January 2015 was 13.4%. In a random sample of 50 employable adults in one city, 8 were unemployed. Check with the Assumptions/Conditions apply. The samples are randomly selected. The trials are independent. There are at least 10 chances to success and 10 chances to fail. The sample size represents less that 10% of the population.
A manager claims that fewer than 65% of employees will qualify for performance bonus this year. From a representative sample of 40 employees, 57.5% qualify for performance bonus. Test the manager’s claim at a 1% level of significance.
A random sample of 1100 potential voters was randomly divided into 2 groups. Group 1: 500 potential voters; no registration reminders sent; 248 registered to vote Group 2: 600 potential voters; registration reminders sent; 332 registered to vote Do these data support the claim that the proportion of voters who registered was greater in the group that received reminders than in the group that did not? Use a 1% level of significance.
Primary seat belt laws allow police to stop a motorist for not wearing a seat belt. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the percentage of drivers wearing seat belts in the Limpopo province was 68.5% in 2017 and 72% in 2018. Assume that these percentages are based on random samples of 1000 drivers in 2017 and 1050 in 2018. Suppose you must test at 5% level of significance whether the proportion of all drivers in Limpopo province who used seat belts in 2017 is lower than that for 2018. 1 Questions I) Determine the alternative hypothesis to be tested: II) Determine the value of test statistic: III) Determine the p-value for this problem: IV) the conclusion Since Z=-1.734 is greater than Z subscript 0.05 end subscript equals negative 1.645, we then reject the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance and conclude that the proportion of all drivers in Limpopo province who used seat belts in 2017 is lower than that for 2018. b) Since Z=-1.734 is less…
Last year, 41% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners conducted this year indicates that 32% planned to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 55 business owners. Suppose the business owners in the sample do as they plan. Conduct a hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts had decreased from last year. State the hypotheses.
