A magazine provided results from a poll of 1000 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 1000 respondents, 14% chose chocolate pie, and the margin of error was given as +3 percentage points. Describe what is meant by the statement that "the margin of error was given as ±3 percentage points." Choose the correct answer below. O A. The statement indicates that the study is 100% – 3% = 97% confident that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is 14%. O B. The statement indicates that the interval 14% ± 3% is likely to contain the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie. OC. The statement indicates that the study is only 3% confident that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is exactly 14%. O D. The statement indicates that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is in the interval 14% ± 3%.

You are told that the proportion p-hat of those who answered "yes" to a poll about internet use is p-hat = 0.70, and the standard error of the proportion is 0.0458. What was the sample size?
Suppose you take a sample of 25 Reese's pieces. The proportion of orange is 0.4. What is the p-value when testing the hypothesis that the actual proportion of orange for all Reese's pieces is 0.5? Round to two places.
Twenty years ago, 56% of parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. A recent survey found that 247 of 700 parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. Do parents feel differently today than they did twenty years ago? Use the a = 0.01 level of significance. 5% of the population size, and the sample can be reasonably assumed to be random, the requirements for testing the hypothesis Because npo (1-Po) = 172.5 > 10, the sample size is less than are satisfied. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? 0.56 versus H,: p # 0.56 Ho: (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) %D Find the test statistic. Zo = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) %D
A news article that you read stated that 50% of voters prefer the Democratic candidate. You think that the actual percent is smaller. 128 of the 284 voters that you surveyed said that they prefer the Democratic candidate. What can be concluded at the 0.01 level of significance?
The average house has 15 paintings on its walls. Is the mean larger for houses owned by teachers? The data show the results of a survey of 16 teachers who were asked how many paintings they have in their houses. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 18, 15, 17, 14, 16, 17, 18, 15, 15, 14, 14, 14, 15, 15, 16, 18 What can be concluded at the a = 0.05 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Но: Select an answer v H1: Select an answer v 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 ? va 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 mean is not significantly more than 15 at a = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean number of paintings that are in…
In a Gallup poll of 1236 adult respondents, 6% said that bad luck follows breaking a mirror. That percentage has a margin of error of 1.5 percentage points. Why is it misleading to state that the percentage is 6% with a margin of error of 1.5%?

A consumer group wanted to determine if there was a difference in customer perceptions about prices for a specific type of toy depending on where the toy was purchased. In the local area there are three main retailers: W-Mart, Tag, and URToy. For each retailer, the consumer group randomly selected 5 customers, and asked them to rate how expensive they thought the toy was on a 1-to-10 scale (1= not expensive, to 10 = very expensive). The toy was priced the same at all retail stores. 1. What kind of statistical test should be used to test the consumer group's research goal, assuming that the researcher wanted to use the 1-to-10 scale as a numerical interval measure? A. Repeated-measures t-test B. One-way Independent Measures ANOVA C. Repeated-measures ANOVA D. Independent-measures t-test 2. State the hypothesis that aims to test the consumer group’s research goal (i.e., what is H0 and HA).
