A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 66%. 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

Who will you vote for? A simple random sample of 1500 voters were surveyed and asked whether they were planning to vote for the incumbent mayor for re-election. Seven hundred ninety-eight of them replied that they were planning to vote for the mayor. The mayor claims that more than half of all voters are planning to vote for her. To test this claim, a test of the hypotheses Ho: p = 0.5 versus H₁: p > 0.5 is performed. a. Show that the P-value is 0.007. b. The P-value is very small, so Ho is rejected. A pollster claims that because the P-value is very small, we can be fairly certain that the population proportion p is greater than 0.5, but we cannot be certain that it is a lot greater. Is this a correct interpretation of the P-value?

The Statistics Games are played by a large number of students across the county. Last year, 32% of Clayton State students participated in the Games. You wonder: “Has the proportion increased this year?”. To find out, you take a random sample of 250 CSU students and ask them if they participated in the Games this year. You find that 38% did. Write the null and alternate hypotheses. A Ho: μ = 0.32 Ha: μ < 0.32 B Ho: μ = 0.32 Ha: μ ≠ 0.32 C Ho: p = 0.32 Ha: p > 0.32 D Ho: p = 0.32 Ha: p < 0.32 E Ho: p = 0.38 Ha: p > 0.38
In a recent Super Bowl, a TV network predicted that 56 % of the audience would express an interest in seeing one of its forthcoming television shows. The network ran commercials for these shows during the Super Bowl. The day after the Super Bowl, and Advertising Group sampled 85 people who saw the commercials and found that 47 of them said they would watch one of the television shows. Suppose you are have the following null and alternative hypotheses for a test you are running: Ho:p = 0.56 Ha:p0.56 Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 3 decimal places 2 =
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is significantly different from 62% at a level of significance of a = 0.05. According to your sample, 27 out of 50 potential voters prefer the Democratic candidate. a. For this study, we should use z-test for a population proportion b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: pv = 0.62 O O H₁: pv # OF c. The test statistic z O O 0.62 ✓(please enter a decimal) f. Based on this, we should reject g. Thus, the final conclusion is that (Please enter a decimal) = -1.165 (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value = 0.1248 x (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e. The p-value is > ✓ a 1x the null hypothesis. O The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly different from 62% at a = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is different from 62% the population proportion is…

13% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a higher percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 321 people from the inner city surveyed, 51 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of a = 0.01? î a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: ? Select an answer ↑ (please enter a decimal) H₁: ? î Select an answer (Please enter a decimal) c. The test statistic ? î = (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 ? î a f. Based on this, we should Select an answer the null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly larger than 13% at a = 0.01, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is larger…
