A Goodness of Fit Test is run to see if the proportion of hair color among students at a particular school matches the hair color proportions in the population in the surrounding area. In the surrounding area, 15% of the people have black hair, 50% of people have brown hair, 30% have blond hair and 5% have red/ginger hair. A sample of 150 students is taken at the school and it is found that 38 have black hair, 72 have brown hair, 29 have blond hair and 11 have red/ginger hair. Find the hair color category which has the largest difference between the observed number and the expected number. black O brown blond O red

Suppose we want to compare the GPA for students in at least three different social classes (Upper, Middle, Working). We obtain GPA records for a randomly selected set of 30 students, ten from each social class group. What test should you use and why?
According the the U.S. Census bureau, the percentage of Santa Ana residents with a bachelor's degree or higher is 14% and the percentage of Irvine residents with a bachelor's degree or higher is 68.5%. Suppose that the sample sizes were 1000 for the Santa Ana group and 1000 for the irvine group. Is there enough evidence to conclude that people who live in Irvine have a higher level of education compared to people living in Santa Ana?
An article describes a study in which a new type of ointment was applied to forearms of volunteers to study the rates of absorption into the skin.Eight locations on the forearm were designated for ointment application. The new ointment was applied to six locations,and a control was applied to the other two.How many different choices were there for the six locations to apply the new ointment?
Wegman’s (a food market chain) has developed a new store-brand brownie mix. Before they start selling the mix they want to compare how well people like their brownies to brownies made from a popular national brand mix. In order to see if there was any difference in consumer opinion, Wegman’s asked 124 shoppers to participate in a taste test. Each was given a brownie to try. Subjects were not told which kind of brownie they got—that was determined randomly. 58% of the 62 shoppers who tasted a Wegman’s brownie said liked it well enough to buy the mix, compared to 66% of the others who said they would be willing to buy the national brand. Does this result indicate that consumer interest in the Wegman’s mix is lower than for the national brand?
600 students at Drew High School were surveyed. 269 of them were males. 455 of the students' wear jewelry, and 300 of the students that wear jewelry are females.
A local company is interested in supporting environmentally friendly initiatives such as carpooling among employees. The company surveyed all of the 200 employees at the downtown offices. Employees responded as to whether or not they own a car and to the location of the home where they live. The results are shown in the table below. If the person owns a car, he or she is more likely to live elsewhere in the city than to live in the downtown area in the city. If the person does not own a car, he or she is more likely to live outside the city than to live in the city (downtown area or elsewhere). The person is more likely to own a car if he or she lives in the city (downtown area or elsewhere) than if he or she lives outside the city. The person is more likely to live in the downtown area in the city than elsewhere in the city. The person is more likely to own a car than not to own a car.

Among college students, the proportion p who say they’re interested in their congressional district’s election results has traditionally been 75% . After a series of debates on campuses, a political scientist claims that the proportion of college students who say they’re interested in their district’s election results is more than 75% . A poll is commissioned, and 207 out of a random sample of 275 college students say they’re interested in their district’s election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist's claim at the 0.01 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 . H0: H1: (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. ▼(Choose one) (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round…

When I was an undergraduate, I helped my father conduct some Child Psychology research about parental influence on gender bias. In this study we interviewed 158 kindergarteners. Our initial question was "What is your favorite color?" where we studied the distribution of "Pink" and "Blue" responses. To our surprise, 38 of the students interviewed responded "Turquoise". Use this information to select the response which correctly answers the question. Being curious, we decided to further interview the children who responded "Turquoise". While he took a lunch break, he told me to select 5 such children to form a group for interviews. How many different possible groups could I have formed? O 769754986 O 5.297 x 1036 O 501942 O 1109750
During the pandemic, an HR manager randomly assigned 6 employees to work from homeand the other 6 employees to work from the office as usual. After three months, all 12employees’ job performance was tested. Scores for those working from home were 10, 12,14, 13, 11, 12, and scores for those who worked from the office were 8, 6, 10, 8, 9, and 7.The HR manager then compares the scores from both groups to determine which groupscores significantly higher.Based on the experiment above,a) Carry out a t-test using five steps of hypothesis testing with the 0.05 level ofsignificance at one-tailed. Explain your finding.b) Sketch the t-distribution involved.
