A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 67%. Suppose that we have reason to believe that this proportion has changed, and we wish to carry out a hypothesis test to see if our belief can be supported. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that we would use for this test.

A researcher is wondering whether the drinking habits of adults in a certain region of a country are different than those in the general adult population. Suppose a recent study states that the proportion of adults in the general population who reported drinking once a week or less in the last month is 0.26. The null hypothesis for this test is p = 0.26 and the alternative hypothesis is p+ 0.26. The researcher collected data from 150 surveys he handed out at a busy park located in the region. Are the conditions for proceeding with a one-proportion z-test satisfied? If not, which condition is not satisfied? O a. Conditions are not satisfied; the researcher did not collect a random sample. O b. Conditions are not satisfied; the population of interest is not large enough to assume independence. Oc. Conditions are not satisfied; the sample size is not large enough. O d. All conditions are satisfied.
It has recently been claimed that 25% of adults consider spring to be their favorite season of the year. A researcher is skeptical of this claim and believes this percentage is too low. She surveys a random of 1,000 adults and finds that 390 of these adults consider spring to be their favorite season of the year. As she prepares to conduct a hypothesis test, the researcher writes out her alternative hypothesis as “p < 0.25.” What is wrong with this? The alternative hypothesis should be “p > 0.39.” The alternative hypothesis should be “p < 0.39.” The alternative hypothesis should be “p > 0.25.” The alternative hypothesis should be “p = 0.25.” Nothing is wrong with the given alternative hypothesis.
Suppose Connie owns a pet store in a large community that has over 50,000 pet owners. She believes that the proportion of men who own cats is different from the proportion of women who own cats. Connie decides to test this claim by performing a two-sample ?-test for two proportions. Her hypotheses are given by ?0:??=???1:??≠?? where ?0 is the null hypothesis, and ?1 is the alternative hypothesis. The variables ?? and ?? represents the population proportion of men and women cat owners, respectively. She randomly samples 420 men and 493 women who are pet owners in the community and finds that 234 men own cats and 256 women own cats. Determine the pooled sample proportion, ?̂. Provide your answer precise to three decimal places. Compute the standard error of the difference of the sample proportions (SE). Provide your answer precise to three decimal places. SE = ?̂=
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is significantly different from 72% at a level of significance of a = 0.10. According to your sample, 63 out of 83 potential voters prefer the Democratic candidate. a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: v Select an answer v (please enter a decimal) H1: ? v Select an answer v (Please enter a decimal) c. The test statistic ? v = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e. The p-value is ? v a f. Based on this, we should Select an answer v the null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... O The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly different from 72% at a = 0.10, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is different from 72%. O The data suggest the…
While continuing to keep abreast of local trends in education, a school administrator read an article that reported only 42% of high school students study on a regular basis. He claims that this percentage is too low for his district. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the given scenario.
Annie conducts a study to examine the differences in stress levels between pet owners and non-pet owners. She conducts a two-tailed test and tells that she rejected the null hypothesis. Therefore, which of these statements is true? Question 8 options: Pet owners have more stress than non-pet owners. Pet owners have less stress than non-pet owners. Pet owners' and non-pet owners' stress levels differ, but it is not known how they differ. Pet owners' and non-pet owners' stress levels do not differ.
A manufacturer of laptop computers claims that only 1% of their computers are defective. In a sample of 600 computers, it was found that 3% were defective. If the proportion of defectives were really only 1%, there would be than 1 chance in 1000 of getting such a large proportion of defective laptops in the sample. Is there statistically significant evidence against the manufacturer's claim? Why or Why not?
Suppose you have a friend that thinks at least a quarter (25% or 0.25) of all US adults believe in ghosts. Thus, the null hypothesis would be, HO: p = 0.25 Suppose a telephone survey of 1000 randomly selected US adults found that 0.31 or 31% of them say they believe in ghosts. If the null hypothesis is true, the uncertainty or Standard Error in this sample proportion = 0.014 Based on this information, what is the value for the Z-statistic in this hypothesis test? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Answer:

A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 68%. Suppose that we have reason to believe that this proportion has changed, and we wish to carry out a hypothesis test to see if our belief can be supported. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H that we would use for this test. H: 0 O
When asked what it means for the result of a hypothesis test to be practically significant (or practically important), Tatum says this means that the P-value is small and the null hypothesis has been rejected. Why is Tatum wrong?
