A poll in June 2020 found that 83% of American parents believe that virtual learning instead of in- person learning widens the equity gap for students. A later poll in October 2020 asked 1025 American parents if they believe virtual learning instead of in- person learning widens the equity gap for students, and found that 820 believe that yes, virtual learning instead of in-person learning widens the equity gap for students. Does this mean that the proportion of American parents, who believe that virtual learning instead of in-person learning widens the equity gap for students, has decreased?

The website Data USA stated that in 2016, Texas had the lowest number of adults with a serious mental illness with an average of M=3.26% of the population affected. The state of Texas wants to test if they have a significantly decreased number of mental illness patients compared with the states with the (n=8) highest level of mental illness found. In 2016 the following states had the highest level of adult patients with mental illness: Arkansas= 5.45%, Montana=5.34%, Vermont=5.32%, Oregon=5.19%, Utah=5.2%, Ohio=5.13, Kentucky=5.25% West Virginia=5.18%. The alpha level for the study was set to α=.05 for the criteria. a. State the hypotheses of the study. b. Find the critical t value for this study c. Compute the one-sample t test. (Again calculate sample SD or s - and get SEM before calculating t.) d. Compute the Cohen's d for the data (even if not significant) e. State the results - is the sample significantly higher? Do you reject the null hypothesis? Report the t test results in APA…
After post-graduate study, Mike found a job as HR analyst in London. Thecompany is currently recruiting Chief Marketing Officer. The HR departmentrecently sent out a knowledge test to the applicants after the initial CVscreening. At this stage of selection, the company does not invite the lowestscoring 30% (the opposite is the highest 70%.) back for the next face-to-faceinterview. According to the historical data, the test scores on this test arenormally distributed and has a mean of 70 with standard deviation of 10. a.What mark (to the nearest whole number) must a candidate achieve inorder to secure an interview? Show your workings.b. Explain the characteristics of standard normal distribution and normaldistribution, respectively.
According to Inc.com, 71% of job seekers used social media in their job search in 2018. Many believe this number is inflated by the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search. A survey of 22- to 30 -year-old job seekers showed that 310 of the 370 respondents use social media in their job search. In addition, 275 of the 370 respondents indicated they have electronically submitted a resume to an employer.
There are 64% of US adults who own a smartphone, up from 35% in 2011. Smartphones have become an important way for Americans to communicate, go online, access and share information. The Pew Research Center surveyed 1635 people in November, 2014 on smartphone ownership. Their goal was to learn how Americans use their smartphone devices. Identify the population and the sample.
The control department of a light bulb manufacturer randomly picks 4400 light bulbs from the production lot every week. The records show that, when there is no malfunction, the defect rate in the manufacturing process (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1% . When 1.5% or more of the light bulbs in the sample of 4400 are defective, the control unit calls repair technicians for service. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a)Find the mean of p , where p is the proportion of defective light bulbs in a sample of 4400 when there is no malfunction. (b)Find the standard deviation of p . (c)Compute an approximation for P≥p0.015 , which is the probability that the service technicians will be called even though the system is functioning properly. Round your answer to four decimal places.
The control department of a light bulb manufacturer randomly picks 4400 light bulbs from the production lot every week. The records show that, when there is no malfunction, the defect rate in the manufacturing process (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1%. When 1.25% or more of the light bulbs in the sample of 4400 are defective, the control unit calls repair technicians for service. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p, wherep is the proportion of defective light bulbs in a sample of 4400 when there is no ? malfunction. (b) Find the standard deviation of p.

An interdepartmental task force is being formed to investigate an increase in violent crimes. 1/5 of the task force will be police officers from the local precinct. 1/4 will be ATF agents, and the remaining 22 will be from the FBI. How many people are participating in the task force?
Color blindness, or dyschromatopsia, is a form of genetic deficiency in color perception. The condition is much more prevalent among males than females, pointing to a genetic connection with the X chromosome. The frequency of dyschromatopsia in the Caucasian American male population is about 7%. However, it is thought that this proportion might be smaller among males of other ethnicities. We want to estimate the proportion of Asian American males who are color-blind. How large a sample size do we need in order to obtain a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error no greater than 5%, or 0.05? Use 0.5 for p̂.
