A buyer for a grocery chain inspects large truckloads of apples to determine the proportion p of apples in the shipment that are rotten. She will only accept the shipment if there is convincing evidence that this proportion is less than 0.06. She selects a sample of 200 apples near the tailgate from the over 20,000 apples on the truck to test the hypotheses Ho: p = 0.06, Ha: p < 0.06. Which of the following conditions for inference have not been met in this situation? The data are a random sample from the population of interest. np 2 10 and n(1 - p) 210 More than one condition is violated. The sample size is less than 10% of the population size. The population distribution is approximately Normal.

Based on their records, a hospital claims that the proportion, p, of full-term babies born in the community that weigh more than 7 pounds is 36%. A pediatrician who works with several hospitals in the community would like to verify the hospital's claim. In a random sample of 180 babies born in the community, 46 weighed over 7 pounds. Is there enough evidence to reject the hospital's claim at the 0.01 level of significance? Expahel Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H and the alternative hypothesis H. H : 0 H, :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. O-0 OSO (Choose one) ▼ (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) (d) Find the p-value.

A state-by-state survey found that the proportions of adults who are smokers in state A and state B were 22.9% and 19.3%, respectively. (Suppose the number of respondents from each state was 3000.) At a = 0.05, can you support the claim that the proportion of adults who are smokers is lower in state A than in state B? Assume the random samples are independent. Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Identify the claim and state Ho and Ha. The claim is "the proportion of adults who are smokers in state A is the proportion of adults who are smokers in state B." Let p, and p2 be the two population proportions. State H, and Ha. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: P1 = P2 Hạ: P1 # P2 O B. Ho: P1 P2 Ha: P1 SP2 D. Ho: P1 sP2 F.

A business owner claims that the proportion of take out orders is greater than 25%. To test this claim, the owner checks the next 250 orders and determines that 60 orders are take out orders The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: Ho :p 0.25 Ha p>0.25 In this example, the p-value was determined to be 0.643. come to a conclusion and interpret the results for this hypothesis test for a proportion (use a significance level of 5%) Select the correct answer below: O The decision is to reject the Null Hypothesis. The conclusion is that there is enough evidence to support the claim. The decision is to fail to reject the Null Hypothesis. The conclusion is that there is not enough evidence to support the claim.
Solve the following problems. Use the steps in conducting hypothesis tests.Adults aged 18 years old and older were randomly selected for a survey on obesity. Adults are considered obese if their body mass index (BMI) is at least 30. The researchers wanted to determine if the proportion of women who are obese in the south is less than the proportion of southern men who are obese. The results are shown in Table. Test at the 1% level of significance. PS: The picture is below
We have Ho : p = .4 and H1: p > .4. You run 50 experiments and find that the sample proportion is .42. Use alpha = .01 to test the hypothesis.
The average worker at a local brake manufacturer produces 10 brakes per day (other statistical information was not known). An industrial psychologist was hired to increase worker productivity and a new assembly method was designed and tested in a sample of workers. Identify the appropriate test. Select one: a. independent samples t test b. z test c. single sample t test d. paired samples t test
An automotive company is conducting a survey concerning consumer buying preferences of a particular truck. The company wants to know whether the truck appearance, miles per gallon (MPG), or fixed price most influenced the consumer’s buying decision. A population sample of 500 individuals, both male and female, will be surveyed. State the null and alternative hypothesis if your were to test whether there is any difference in proportion using the three different criterion to purchase the given car based on gender.
Two groups were polled about their attitudes towards capital punishment. In one group 30 out of 100 favored capital punishment, and in the other group 40 out of 80 favored capital punishment. Calculate an appropriate test value test the hypothesis that the population proportions are the same.
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.

Professor Nord stated that the mean score on the final exam from all the years he has been teaching is a 79%. Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the mean score of the population? What is the mean score of the sample? Is this test one-tailed or two-tailed? Why?
A random sample of n1 = 10 regions in New England gave the following violent crime rates (per million population). x1: New England Crime Rate 3.3 3.7 4.2 3.9 3.3 4.1 1.8 4.8 2.9 3.1 Another random sample of n2 = 12 regions in the Rocky Mountain states gave the following violent crime rates (per million population). x2: Rocky Mountain Crime Rate 3.9 4.1 4.5 5.5 3.3 4.8 3.5 2.4 3.1 3.5 5.2 2.8 Assume that the crime rate distribution is approximately normal in both regions.
