A company believes that it gains more than 30% of the total market share for ts products. To prove this belief, a random sample of 150 purchases of this product is contacted. In order to reject the null hypothesis at α= 0.05, out of 150 purchases, how many would need to purchase this company’s brand of the product

A certain financial services company uses surveys of adults age 18 and older to determine if personal financial fitness is changing over time. A recent sample of 1,000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. Suppose that just a year before, a sample of 1,200 adults showed 420 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. (a)State the hypotheses that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years. (Let p1 = population proportion most recently saying financial security more than fair and p2 = population proportion from the year before saying financial security more than fair. Enter != for ≠ as needed.) H0: Ha: (b) Conduct the hypothesis test and compute the p-value. At a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? Find the value of the test statistic. (Use p1 − p2. Round your answer to two decimal places.) = Find the p-value. (Round your answer to…
According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.34. Suppose a random sample of 113 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 52 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the x = 0.05 level of significance? Because npo (1 - Po) = 25.4 > 10, the sample size is sample is given to be random, satisfied. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? less than 5% of the population size, and the the requirements for testing the hypothesis are Ho: P = 0.34 versus H₁: p > 0.34 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Find the test statistic, Zo Zo = (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
(4) Botany. Seeds from maize ears carry either single spikelets or paired spikelets but not both. Progeny tests on 6000 maize ears revealed the following information: Forty percent of all seeds carry single spikelets, while 60% carry paired spikelets. A seed with single spikelets will produce maize ears with single spikelets 29% of the time and paired spikelets 71% of the time. A seed with paired spikelets will produce maize ears with single spikelets 26% of the time and paired * spikelets 74% of the time. (a). with single spikelets. The genetic origin and properties of maize (modern-day corn) were investigated in Economic Find the probability that a randomly selected maize ear seed carries a paired spikelets and produces ears (b). Find the probability that a randomly selected maize ear seed produces ears with single spikelets.
31% of all pygmy softshell toises have stripes on their shells. A herpetologist in Cititon collects a sample of 28 pygmy softshell tortoises and finds that 8 of them have stripes on their shells. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at a significance of alpha=0.05, that the proportion of pygmy softshell tortoises in Cititon with stripes on their shells is less than 31%? What is the claim? What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis? What is the test statistic? What is/are the critical value(s)? Do we reject the null hypothesis? What conclusion do we draw? What is the P-value for the problem above?
A political pollster conducted a study to determine political party loyalty. To do so, he selected a randomsample of 100 registered Democrats and a random sample of 100 registered Republicans. He determinedthe proportion of Democrats who plan to vote for the Democratic candidate in the upcoming election andthe proportion of Republicans who plan to vote for the Republican candidate in the upcoming election. Atest of significance was conducted on the following hypotheses. H0: pD = pRHa: pD ≠ pR where pD = the proportion of Democrats who plan to vote for the Democratic candidate in the upcomingelection and pR = the proportion of Republicans who plan to vote for the Republican candidate in theupcoming election. The conditions for inference were met. This test resulted in a P-value of 0.0981. (a) Interpret this P-value in the context of this study. (b) Using a significance level of ? = 0.05, what conclusion should be made? (c) Based upon your conclusion in part (b), what type of error (Type…

If a researcher obtains a sample mean of M= 54, from a population with u = 46. With a given alpha, which combination of factors is most likely to result in rejecting the null hypothesis?
Building codes in southern Florida require hurricane straps on single-family dwellings in order to more securely anchor the roof to the buildings. The straps should have no more than a 10% chance of failure in 150mph wind, and no more than a 45% chance of failure in a 200mph wind. 164 straps are tested at 200mph, and 48 of them fail. (a) Perform a hypothesis test to evaluate the claim that the straps are performing to code to an α = 0.01(b) Provide the p − value for your test statistic determined in (a)(c) If you wished to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion with half-width E = 0.01, approximately how many straps would you need to test?
Imagine you are doing a Related-Samples t-test, and you are on Step Two of the hypothesis test. The sample of difference scores that you calculated is -1, -1, -3, +2, 0, -4. If you are doing the test with α = .01, and two tails, what would he correct t-critical be?
An article indicated that the biggest issue facing e-retailers is the ability to turn browsers into buyers. The article stated that less than 10% of browsers buy something from a particular website. A SRS of 2000 browsers was taken of which 180 made a purchase. Let alpha = .10.
A two-way ANOVA experiment with interaction was conducted. Factor A had three levels (columns), factor B had five levels (rows), and six observations were obtained for each combination. Assume normality in the underlying populations. The results include the following sum of squares terms: SST=1542 SSA= 1042 SSB = 358 SSAB = 39 a. Construct an ANOVA table. (Round "MS" to 4 decimal places and "F" to 3 decimal places.) ANOVA Source of Variation Rows Columns Interaction Error Total SS 0 df Answer is not complete. 0 MS F p- value 0.000 0.000 0.002
