A market survey was conducted to estimate the proportion of homemakers who could recognize the brand name of a cleanser based on the shape and colour of the container. Of the 1,400 homemakers, 420 were able to identify the brand name. Using the 99 percent confidence, the population proportion lies within what interval? (Select the best answer).

A health journal conducted a study to see if packaging a healthy food product like junk food would influence children's desire to consume the product. A fictitious brand of a healthy food product-sliced apples-was packaged to appeal to children. The researchers showed the packaging to a sample of 348 school children and asked each whether he or she was willing to eat the product. Willingness to eat was measured on a 5-point scale, with 1 = "not willing at all" and 5 = "very willing." The data are summarized as x = 3.56 and s=2.19. Suppose the researchers knew that the mean willingness to eat an actual brand of sliced apples (which is not packaged for children) is µ = 3. Complete parts a and b below. a. Conduct a test to determine whether the true mean willingness to eat the brand of sliced apples packaged for children exceeded 3. Use α = 0.10 to make your conclusion. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: H₂:

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).
