## Hypothesis Testing for Proportion of Couples in a Communication ProgramA marriage counselor claims that her communication program can prevent divorce in more than 80% of married couples. She recently tested this claim with a sample of 220 married couples, finding that 192 stayed together. We will test her claim at the 0.10 level of significance.### Steps to Perform the Test:(a) **State the Null and Alternative Hypotheses:**- Null Hypothesis (\(H_0\)): \(p = 0.8\)- Alternative Hypothesis (\(H_1\)): \(p > 0.8\)(b) **Determine the Type of Test Statistic:**Choose a **z-test** for proportions as the test statistic.(c) **Find the Test Statistic Value:**Calculate the z-score by using the formula:\[z = \frac{\hat{p} - p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}}\]Where:- \(\hat{p} = \frac{192}{220}\)- \(p_0 = 0.8\)- \(n = 220\)(d) **Find the Critical Value:**For a one-tailed test at the 0.10 level of significance, the critical z-value is approximately 1.28.(e) **Decision:**Compare the calculated z-value to the critical value to determine if there is sufficient evidence to support the counselor’s claim.### Summary:Evaluate whether the evidence supports the claim that more than 80% of couples in the program stay together by comparing the test statistic to the critical value. If the test statistic exceeds the critical value, conclude there is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative.

A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is making some recent changes, the marriage counselor now claims that her program can prevent divorce in more than 80% of married couples. In a ra sample of 220 married couples who completed her program, 192 of them stayed together. Based on this sample, is there enough evidence to support marriage counselor's claim at the 0.10 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 Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁. H:0 H₁ :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) 3 Ix 09 a 00 S 00 0=0 OSO OD

A company claims that at least 94% of equipment supplied to a manufacturer is within specifications. A test of a sample of 200 pieces of equipment showed that 27 of them were faulty. Test their claim at the 5% significance level?
A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.
A 2018 Gallup poll found 20% of adults aged 18 - 29 years vape. Test the claim that the proportion of 18 - 29 year old people who vape has decreased at the 5% significance level. A July 2021 Gallup poll resulted in 17% of the 1,007 of people that age vape.
A health insurance company wants to determine if more than 25% of US residents have been to a hospital emergency room within the past year. It was found that in a sample of 1000 people, 28% indicated that they had been to an emergency room within the past year. With a significance level of 0.01, is there evidence to suggest that the proportion of US residents that have been to the emergency room in the past year is actually higher than 25%?
According to a publication, 12.9% of 18 to 25-year-olds were users of marijuana in 2000. A recent poll of 1378 randomly selected 18 to 25-year-olds revealed that 215 currently use marijuana. At the 2% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of 18 to 25-year-olds who currently use marijuana has changed from the 2000 percentage of 12.9%? Use the one-proportion z-test to perform the appropriate hypothesis test, after checking the conditions for the procedure.
The drug Ritalin is designed to stimulate the central nervous system. In a random sample of 252 boys aged ten – twelve years old, it was found that 44 of the boys were taking Ritalin. It is known that the proportion of all boys aged 13 – 15 who take Ritalin is 24%. A researcher claims that the population proportions of boys who take Ritalin aged 10 – 12 is different than boys aged 13 – 15. Can you support this claim at the 5% significance level? a. Conduct a hypothesis test to test the claim at the 5% significance level. Be sure to state you Ho and Ha, your test statistic and p-value, whether or not you reject Ho and whether you support the claim. b. Show that you can use the large sample methodology. c. Write a complete sentence describing what a Type I error is in context.
The dataset "nurses" is a random sample of 1,000 cases from “Health Care Provider Credential Data” from Washington State Open Data Portal. In the sample, there are 418 CNA's and 278 of the CNA's have expired credentials. Use the statistics from the nurses dataset to answer the following question: "With 90% confidence, what percent of all CNA's on Washington State's healthcare provider list are expired?"
In a previous poll, 37% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week.
