Exit polling is a popular technique used to determine the outcome of an election prior to results being tallied. Suppose a referendum to increase funding for education is on the ballot in a large town (voting population over 100,000). An exit poll of 500 voters finds that 260 voted for the referendum. How likely are the results of your sample if the population proportion of voters in the town in favor of the referendum is 0.49? Based on your result, comment on the dangers of using exit polling to call elections. How likely are the results of your sample if the population proportion of voters in the town in favor of the referendum is 0.49? The probability that more than 260 people voted for the referendum is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

What social media tools do marketers commonly use? The “2015 Social Media Marketing Industry Report” by Social Media Examiner (socialmediaexaminer.com) surveyed marketers who commonly use an indicated social media tool. Surveyed marketers who commonly use an indicated social media tool. Surveyed were both B2B marketers, marketers that primarily target consumers. Suppose the survey was based on 500B2B marketers and 500 B2C marketers and yielded the results in the following table below: SOCIAL MEDIA TOOL BUSINESS FOCUS (B2B) (%) BUSINESS FOCUS (B2C) (%) FACEBOOK 88 96 TWITTER 83 77 For each social media tool, at the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether there is a difference between B2B marketers and B2C marketers in the proportion who used each social media tool. State the complete hypotheses (hypothesis null and hypothesis alternative for question (a) above
Management of a theater in a large city wants to know whether its popularity increased after it ran a popular musical. According to a previous study, 25% of city residents said they had been to the theater in the past year. A more recent study, conducted after the musical had run for a year, found that 156 of 536 residents sampled said they had been to the theater in the past year. Is there evidence at the ? = 0.05 level that the number of residents who have been to the theater has increased in the last year?
A retailer is looking to evaluate its customer service. Management has determined that if the retailer wants to stay competitive, then it will have to have at least a 91% satisfaction rate among its customers. Management will take corrective actions if the satisfaction rate falls below 91%. They conduct a survey to determine if the satisfaction rate is lower than 91%. A survey of 1,450 customers showed that 1,305 were satisfied with their customer service. (a) Give the test statistic. (Round to two decimal places.) (b) Give the p-value (Round to three decimal places.) (c) State whether or not the management should take corrective action, based on a 5% significance level. Explain briefly.
Exit polling is a popular technique used to determine the outcome of an election prior to results being tallied. Suppose a referendum to increase funding for education is on the ballot in a large town (voting population over 100,000). An exit poll of 300 voters finds that 147 voted for the referendum. How likely are the results of your sample if the population proportion of voters in the town in favor of the referendum is 0.51? Based on your result, comment on the dangers of using exit polling to call elections.
Last year, 41% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners conducted this year indicates that 32% planned to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 55 business owners. Suppose the business owners in the sample do as they plan. Conduct a hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts had decreased from last year. State the hypotheses.
In determining the best companies to work for, a number of variables are considered, including size, average annual pay, and employee turnover rate. Moreover, employee surveys are conducted to assess aspects of the organization's culture, such as trust and openness to change. In an attempt to determine what affects turnover rate, a sample of 33 companies was randomly selected, and data were collected on the average annual bonus and turnover rate (%) for 2008. In addition, a questionnaire was administered to the employees of each company to arrive at a trust index (measured on a scale of 0-100). Below are the multiple regression results.
