A large nationwide poll recently showed an unemployment rate of 9% in the US. The mayor of a local town wonders if this national result holds true for her town, so she plans on taking a sample of her residents to see if the unemployment rate is significantly different than 9% in her town. Let p represent the unemployment rate in her town. Here are the hypotheses she'll use: Ho :p = 0.09 H :p+ 0.09 Under which of the following conditions would the mayor commit a Type l error?

A popular uprising that started on January 25, 2011 in Egypt led to the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. Polls show that about 69% of American adults followed the news about the political crisis and demonstrations in Egypt closely during the first couple weeks following the start of the uprising. Among a random sample of 30 high school students, it was found that only 17 of them followed the news about Egypt closely during this time. (Source: Gallup Politics, Americans' Views of Egypt Sharply More Negative, data collected February 2-5, 2011).
Hypertension It has been found that 26% of men 20 years and older suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure) and 31.5% of women are hypertensive. A random sample of 171 of each gender was selected from recent hospital records, and the following results were obtained. Can you conclude that a higher percentage of women have high blood pressure? Use a = 0.10. Men 44 patients had high blood pressure Women 58 patients had high blood pressure Use p, for the proportion of men with high blood pressure and round all intermediate calculations to at least three decimal places.
A poll summarized the results of a survey of 2,400 adults and 500 teens aged 13 to 17. It was reported that 32% of the teens surveyed and 39% of the adults surveyed indicated that they believe in reincarnation. The samples were selected to be representative of American adults and teens. n USE SALT Use the data from this survey to estimate the difference in the proportion of adults who believe in reincarnation and the proportion of teens who believe in reincarnation by calculating a 95% confidence interval for the difference. (Use padults - peens: Round your answers to three decimal places.) to Interpret your interval in context. O There is a 95% chance that the true difference between the proportion of adults who believe in reincarnation and the proportion of teens who believe in reincarnation is in the interval. Because both endpoints of the confidence interval are positive, we believe that the proportion of adults who believe in reincarnation is less than the proportion of teens aged…
Last year 46% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners conducted this year indicated that 35% plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 60 business owners. For hypothesis: H0: p >= .46 ; Ha:p < .46 , compute the P-value that could be used to determine whether the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts has decreased from last year.
A humane society claims that less than 61% of households in a certain country own a pet. In a random sample of 700 households in that country, 399 say they own a pet. At a= 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the society's claim? Complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) Identify the claim and state H, and Ha. Identify the claim in this scenario. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) O A. The percentage households in the country' that own a pet is not %. O B. Less than % of households in the country own a pet. O C. More than % of households in the country own a pet. O D. % of hoúseholds in the country own a pet.
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…
Is this correct so far?
Let’s say your grandfather is 72 years old and your question is “Are my classmates’ grandfathers, on average, older than mine is”? What would be the null and alternative hypotheses in this scenario? Group of answer choices H0 : The population average age is less than 72. Ha : The population average age is greater than or equal to 72. The population average age is greater than 72. Ha : The population average age is less than 72. H0 : The population average age is equal to 72. Ha : The population average age is less than 72. H0 : The population average age is equal to 72. Ha : The population average age is greater than 72.
In the prior presidential election, the average voter turnout in Miami was 57%. You think this will change in the next presidential election. Which is the null hypothesis? H0: turnout = 57% H0: turnout ≠ 57%
You are testing the difference between high school freshmen and seniors on SAT performance. The null hypothesis is that the population mean SAT score of the seniors is equal to the population mean SAT score of the freshmen. You randomly sample 20 students in each grade and have them take the SAT. You find that the sample mean of the seniors is significantly higher than the sample mean of the freshmen. Which alternative hypothesis is accepted? The population mean SAT score of the seniors is less than the population mean SAT score of the freshmen. The population mean SAT score of the seniors is greater than the population mean SAT score of the freshmen. You cannot be sure which alternative hypothesis to accept. You just know that the null hypothesis was rejected
Answer A, B1, and B2: A. The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population. B. Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level…
A study of young children was designed to increase their intake of whole-grain, rather than regular-grain, snacks. At the end of the study, the 79 children who participated in the study were presented with a choice between a regular-grain snack and a whole-grain alternative. The whole-grain alternative was chosen by 55 children. You want to examine the possibility that the children are equally likely to choose each type of snack. H0: p = 0.5Ha: p ≠ 0.5 Perform the significance test. (Use α = 0.01. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)
