Another question asked for a ranking of the condition of the road, based on the type of road. For the road types of interstate highway, U.S. highway, state (“M") highway, and local roads, residents were asked to evaluate the current condition, with choices of good, bad, or neutral. Researchers wish to evaluate if there is some relationship between the type of road and the road condition. This is a O Hypothesis test O Confidence interval For One proportion One mean O Paired mean O Difference in two means O Slope for a linear relationship O Chi-square goodness-of-fit O Chi-square test of independence
A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 300 people over the age of 55,80 dream in black and white, and among 287 people under the age of 25, 14 dreams in black and white. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. An explanation for the results is that those over the age of 55 grew up exposed to media that was displayed in black and white. Can these results be used to verify that explanation?
A survey of 2255 randomly selected US adults found that 51% said they know all or most of their neighbors. Does this provide evidence that more than half of US adults know most or all of their neighbors? Use 5% significance level.
In a poll, 1100 adults in Nantucket were asked about their computer gaming habits. One finding was that 43% of respondents never computer game. Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all adults in Nantucket who never play computer games
A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 285 people over the age of 55, 68 dream in black and white, and among 307 people under the age of 25, 14 dream in black and white. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. An explanation for the results is that those over the age of 55 grew up exposed to media that was displayed in black and white. Can these results be used to verify that explanation? OA. No. The results speak to a possible difference between the proportions of people over 55 and under 25 who dream in black and white, but the results cannot be used to verify the cause of such a difference. OB. No. The results speak to a possible difference between the proportions of people over 55 and under 25 who dream in black and white, but the results are not statistically significant enough to…
USA Today ran a report about a UNC poll of 1248 adults from the southern U.S. It was reported that 8% of those surveyed believe that Elvis Presley still lives. The article began with the claim that "almost 1 out of 10" Southerners still thinks Elvis is alive. At the 0.01 significance level, test the claim that the true percentage is 10%.
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 study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 295 people over the age of 55, 64 dream in black and white, and among 312 people under the age of 25, 13 dream in black and white. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. Consider the first sample to be the sample of people over the age of 55 and the second sample to be the sample of people under the age of 25.

In a poll conducted by The New York Times and CBS News, 44% of Americans approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing (The New York Times, June 8, 2012). Assume that this percentage was true for the population of Americans at the time of this poll was conducted. A recent poll of 1265 Americans showed that 38% of them approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing. At a 2% significance level, can you conclude that the current proportion of Americans who approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing is different from 44%?Round your answers to two decimal places.zobserved =zcritical left =zcritical right =We (reject, fail to reject) the null hypothesis.
