4. A random sample of 415 potential voters was interviewed 3 weeks before the start of a state-wide campaign for governor; 223 of the 415 said they favored the new candidate over the incumbent. However, the new candidate made several unfortunate remarks one week before the election. Subse- quently, a new random sample of 630 potential voters showed that 317 voters favored the new candi- date. Do these data support the conclusion that there was a decrease in voter support for the new candidate after the unfortunate remarks were made? Give appropriate statistical evidence to support your answer

A group of 1440 students was surveyed in October 2018 about their sleeping patterns and consumption of caffeinated beverages. Of the 1440 students asked, 834 said they had trouble falling asleep at night, but the rest did not. Of the 834 who said they had trouble sleeping at night, 640 drank some type of caffeinated beverage after 2 pm most days. Of those who reported no trouble falling asleep at night, 108 said they drank some type of caffeinated beverage after 2 pm most days.
UCLA conducted a survey of more than 263,000 college freshmen from 385 colleges in fall 2005. The results of students' expected majors by gender were reported in The Chronicle of Higher Education (2/2/2006). Suppose a survey of 5,000 graduating females and 5,000 graduating males was done as a follow-up last year to determine what their actual majors were. The results for males are shown in the table below. The second column in the table does not add to 100% because of rounding.Conduct a goodness-of-fit test to determine if the actual college majors of graduating males fit the distribution of their expected majors.

Suppose a researcher from the School of Education at SU wanted to know whether or not students at SU preferred taking classes online or in person this coming Fall 2020 semester. The researcher plans to collect a sample by preparing an optional online survey sent out via e-mail in which students are asked to circle preferences ”online,” ”in person,” or ”not sure.” There is also comment box in the survey where students can express their opinions and concerns. This method of sampling is an example of which of the following: (i) convenience sampling (ii) voluntary response sampling (iii) stratified random sample (iv) multi-stage sampling
A fitness course claims that it can improve an individual's physical ability. To test the effect of a physical fitness course on one's physical ability, the number of sit-ups that a person could do in one minute, both before and after the course, was recorded. Ten individuals are randomly selected to participate in the course. The results are displayed in the following table. Can it be concluded, from the data, that participation in the physical fitness course resulted in significant improvement? Let d=(number of sit-ups that can be done after taking the course)−(number of sit-ups that can be done prior to taking the course)d=(number of sit-ups that can be done after taking the course)−(number of sit-ups that can be done prior to taking the course). Use a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05 for the test. Assume that the numbers of sit-ups are normally distributed for the population both before and after taking the fitness course.

Are Republicans more likely than Democrats to display the American flag in front of their residence on the Fourth of July? A simple random sample of 618 Republicans were surveyed and 408 said they display the flag on the Fourth of July. Another simple random sample of 615 Democrats were surveyed and 394 said they display the flag on the Fourth of July. Let p1p1 be the proportion of all Republicans who display the American flag on July 4th and p2p2 be the proportion of all Democrats who display the American flag on July 4th.

For its “Music 360" survey, Nielsen Co. asked teenagers and adults how each group has listened to music in the past 12 months. Nearly two- thirds of U.S. teenagers under the age of 18 say they use Google Inc's video-sharing site to listen to music and 35% of the teenagers said they use Pandora Media Inc's custom online radio service (The Wall Street Journal, August 14, 2012). Suppose 10 teenagers are selected randomly to be interviewed about how they listen to music. Answer questions 7- 10.
4. A newspaper story claims that more houses are purchased by singles now than singles 5 years ago. To test this claim, two studies were conducted on the buying habits of singles over the past 5 years. In the first study, 200 house purchases in the current year were randomly selected and 80 of those were made by singles. In the second study, again 200 house purchases were randomly selected from 5 years ago and 57 of those were made by single people. Test the newspaper's claim using a 0.05 level of significance. Is there sufficient evidence to support the newspaper's claim? Let singles now be Population 1 and let singles 5 years ago be Population 2. Step 1. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. A) Step 2. Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places. Step 3. Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision. A) We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.05 level…

The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 69.5% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly pick eight first-time, full-time freshmen from the survey. You are interested in the number that believes that same sex-couples should have the right to legal marital status. Let the random variable X= the number that reply "yes", X∼B(8,0.695).

. People in a city are going to vote for one of the three candidates A, B, and C in the next election. In a random sample of 100 people from this city 35 voted for A, 28 voted for B, and the rest voted for C. Perform a significance test and indicate if there is any preferences in the next election for these candidates.
Suppose we know that at a University XYZ that 30% of students receive an A in their introductory statistics class, 30% receive a B, 20% receive a C, 10% receive a D, and 10% receive an F. For comparison, a sample of 300 students at University ABC is taken and 20% received an A, 28% received a B, 26% received a C, 15% received a D, and the remaining students failed the class. When testing (at the 5% level of significance) whether the proportions between the two universities are different, what is the null and alternative hypotheses
