A decade-old study found that the proportion, p, of high school seniors who believed that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 75%. A researcher decides to test whether or not that percentage still stands. He finds that, among the 215 high school seniors in his random sample, 153 believe that "getting rich" is an important goal. Can he conclude, at the 0.1 level of significance, that the proportion has indeed changed? Perform a two-tailed test. Then fill in the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

A nonprofit company concerned with the school dropout rates has designed a tutoring program aimed at students between 16 to 18 years old. A national center for educational statistics reported that the high school dropout rate for the year 2000 was 10.9%.One school district, who adopted the use of the nonprofit's tutoring program and whose dropout rate has always been very close to the national average, reported in 2004 that 158 of their 1769 students dropped out. Is their experience evidence that the tutoring program has been effective? Determine the hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below A. H0: p=0.109 HA: p≠0.109 B.

According to the GSS 2018 dataset, 51% of 218 college graduates reported being interested in environmental issues compared with 43% of 167 high school graduates. What is the research hypothesis? Should you conduct a one- or two-tailed test? Why?
A credit score is used by credit agencies (such as mortgage companies and banks) to assess the creditworthiness of individuals. Values range from 300 to 850, with a credit score over 700 considered to be a quality credit risk. According to a survey, the mean credit score is 703.8. A credit analyst wondered whether high-income individuals (incomes in excess of $100,000 per year) had higher credit scores. He obtained a random sample of 36 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 719.8 with a standard deviation of 81.9. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high-income individuals have higher credit scores at the α=0.05 level of significance.
In a study investigating the time of coming to work late in an enterprise, the time of coming to work for 300 randomly selected people was recorded for 10 months. The average late arrival time is 3 days / 10 months and the first quarter value is 1.2 days / 10 months and the sample distribution is symmetrical. According to this information, which of the following is the difference between the third quarter value and the median? A:1.8 days / 10 months B:4.2 days / 10 months C:4 days / 10 months D:2.8 days / 10 months E:0.8 days / 10 months
The National Cancer Institute conducted a 2-year study to determine whether cancer death rates for areas near nuclear power plants are higher than for areas without nuclear facilities. A spokesperson for the Cancer Institute said, "From the data at hand, there was no convincing evidence of any increased risk of death from any of the cancers surveyed due to living near nuclear facilities." Let p denote the proportion of the population in areas near nuclear power plants who die of cancer during a given year. The researchers at the Cancer Institute have considered the null and alternative hypotheses below: А. Họ: p = value for areas without nuclear facilities Hạ: p> value for areas without nuclear facilities According to the spokesperson's statement, what is the conclusion of the National Cancer Institute? Select one of the following: Reject Ho Fail to reject Ho Reject Ha Fail to reject Ha
The researcher is concerned that older persons may not be knowledgeable of the COFLU-20. As such, he is interested in investigating the association between the age of the respondents and their knowledge level. Table 2 below shows the knowledge level of respondents, by age group. Table 2 (image included) Conduct a test, at the 5% level of significance, to determine whether the data provided sufficient evidence to conclude that an association exists between age group and knowledge level. State the hypotheses to be tested: H0: H1: state the degrees of freedom for this test the p-value for this test, given that the chi-square test statistic, c2, is 11.029. state the conclusion for the test. Give reason for your answer.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Air Travel Consumer Report, the nation’s 12 largest airlines recorded an on-time arrival percentage of 77.4% in 2001. Of interest is to estimate the mean delay time for the 22.6% of all flights that did not arrive on time during 2013. A simple random sample of 28 late arriving flights was selected, and the mean delay time of this sample of 28 flights was 14.2 minutes, with a sample standard deviation of s= 6.4 minutes. Use this information to calculate and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the mean delay time for all flights that did not arrive on time during 2013.
The National Study of the Changing Work Force conducted a study of 2958 wage and salaried workers on issuesranging from relationships with their bosses to household chores. The data were gathered through hour-longtelephone interview with a nationally representive sample. In response to the questions “What does your job meanto you?” 1538 people responded that they “Receive personal satisfaction from success at work.” Let p be thepopulation proportion of people who receive personal satisfaction from success at work. (a) Find a 95% CI for the true value of p. (b) How large of sample is needed if we wish to be 99% confident that the sample proportion of p is within1% of the true population proportion.
A story spoiler gives away the ending early. Does having a story spoiled in this way diminish suspense and hurt enjoyment? A study1 investigated this question. For twelve different short stories, the study’s authors created a second version in which a spoiler paragraph at the beginning discussed the story and revealed the outcome. Each version of the twelve stories was read by at least 30 people and rated on a 1 to 10 scale to create an overall rating for the story, with higher ratings indicating greater enjoyment of the story. The ratings are given in Table 1 and stored in StorySpoilers. Stories 1 to 4 were ironic twist stories, stories 5 to 8 were mysteries, and stories 9 to 12 were literary stories. Here we measure the size of the effect on mean rating. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean enjoyment rating between stories with a spoiler and stories without.Click here for the dataset associated with this question.Round your answers to three decimal places.The 95%…
Mood variation is related to photoperiod in some people, and the likelihood of depression increases in the winter months. As a result, people often assume that suicide rates increase in winter. A study in Finland (Valtonen et al. 2006) divided the year 1997 into equal halves and compared the number of suicides in “winter” (24 September to 19 March) and “summer” (remainder of year). Out of a total of 1636 suicides, 766 were in winter and 870 were in the summer. Based on these data, estimate the proportion of suicides that occurred in winter, assuming that the suicides were independent. Are the data compatible with a greater suicide rate in winter than summer, based on a 95% confidence interval?
