A number of initiatives on the topic of legalized gambling have appeared on state ballots. A political candidate has decided to support legalization of casino gambling if he is convinced that more than two-thirds of U.S. adults approve of casino gambling. Suppose that 1521 adults selected at random from households with telephones were asked whether they approved of casino gambling. The number in the sample who approved was 1032. Does the sample provide convincing evidence that more than two-thirds of U.S. adults approve? A USE SALT Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use a- 0.05. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your Pvalue to four decimal places.) Pvalue- State the conclusion in the context of the problem. O Fail to reject Ho. We do not have convincing evidence that more than two-thirds of U.S. adults approve of casino gambling. O Fail to reject H. We have convincing evidence that more than two-thirds of U.S. adults approve of casino gambling. O Reject Hg. We have convincing evidence that more than two-thirds of U.S. adults approve of casino gambling., O Reject H. We do not have convincing evidence that more than two-thirds of U.S. adults approve of casino gambling.

To gauge how her fellow lawmakers view the proposed “Child Car Seat" Law, 12 randomly selected members of the house were interviewed. Ten of them were supporting the proposed law. Is there evidence to say that the majority of the members of the house will approve the said proposal? Which of the following statements is(are) TRUE? * I. The appropriate alternative hypothesis is the proportion of the O members of the house that will approve the proposal is less than 50%. II. Approximate Z-test can be performed as a test procedure. O Both I and II O Neither I nor II
2. We want to investigate whether there exists gender bias on traffic stops by the police here in Charlotte. The Charlotte Open Data Portal includes information on different characteristics of drivers being stopped. We collected the data from 2017 and we are interested in answering the question: "Of all the drivers who are stopped, are female drivers less likely to get searched than male drivers? From the data collected we observed that 438 out of the 24,314 female drivers were searched, whercas 2,244 out of 34,095 male drivers were scarchcd. (a) that the proportion of female drivers being searched is smaller than the proportion of male drivers being searched? Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 significance level to conclude Construct the appropriate confidence interval for the hypothesis (b) test of part (a) and state your conclusion.
3. The article "Doctors Cite Burnout in Mistakes" (San Luis Obispo Tribune, March 5, 2002) reported that many doctors who are completing their residency have financial struggles that could interfere with training. In a sample of115 residents, 38 reported that they worked moonlighting jobs and 22 reported a credit card debt of more than $3000. Suppose that it is reasonable to consider this sample of 115 as a random sample of all medical residents in the United States. a) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of U.S. medical residents who work moonlighting jobs. b) Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of U.S. medical residents who have a credit card debt of more than $3000. c) Give two reasons why the confidence interval in Part (a) is wider than the confidence interval in Part (b).
1. The percentage of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported talking at least once in the past year with their parents about the dangers of drug, tobacco, or alcohol is 60% nationally. A state youth council believes this proportion is higher in their state, where there has been an intense media campaign about this issue. A survey of randomly chosen students from across the state shows 1032 of 1642 students reporting they are having these conversations with their parents. Is there evidence that the percent of students using drugs, tobacco or alcohol in this state is above the national rate?
3. A newly graduate of administration of justice has been hired by the regional director of the FBI to take a poll of a residential area to determine the proportion of residents who would be opposed to a gun exchange program in their community. The regional director of the FBI told her that if 50% or more of the residents are opposed to the idea, a gun exchange program will not be implemented. She takes a random sample of 150 household heads in the community and find that .42 of those sampled are opposed to the idea. Build a 99% confidence interval around this point estimate. Is 50% within her interval? What would she advise the regional director of the FBI who hired her?
In recent years, many states have enacted tougher voter identification laws requiring a government issued photo ID. Proponents claim that these laws are necessary to reduce voter fraud. Opponents claim that voter fraud is rare and that since as many as 11% of eligible voters do not have the required identification, these tougher laws will discourage millions of minorities and low-income Americans from voting. The Washington Post conducted a national poll (July 7-19, 2012) and found that 1558 out of 2064 adults supported the tougher voter ID laws. 1)Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who approve of tougher voter ID laws. Document your work in the space provided below. Document how you computed the margin of error and the confidence interval in the space provided below. Round all numbers to 4 decimal places. 2)Is it likely that three-fourths of adults approve of these new laws?
b) A certain pay television company wishes to estimate the proportion of its customers who would purchase a pay television program guide. To do this, the company manager decides to select a random sample of customers and note the number who would purchase a program guide. Suppose that experience in other areas suggests that about 13% of customers will purchase a program guide. How many customers should the company manager include in his sample if he wishes to estimate the true proportion who will purchase the program guide correct to within 5% (0.05) with a confidence level of 95%?
Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?
In a certain survey, 516 people chose to respond to this question: "Should passwords be replaced with biometric security (fingerprints, etc)?" Among the respondents, 55 % said "yes." We want to test the claim that more than half of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Are any of the three requirements violated? Can a test about a population proportion using the normal approximation method be used? A. The sample observations are not a random sample, so a test about a population proportion using the normal approximating method cannot be used. B. One of the conditions for a binomial distribution are not satisfied, so a test about a population proportion using the normal approximating method cannot be used. C. All of the conditions for testing a claim about a population proportion using the normal approximation method are satisfied, so the method…
2) The rabies vaccine for dogs can save your dog's life. If your dog bites another animal or is on the receiving end of a bite, the vaccine can protect them from a dangerous and potentially fatal illness. Furthermore, in most places, the rabies vaccine for dogs is legally required. The NYC Department of Health wants to know if LESS than 95% of the dogs in the city have been vaccinated with their rabies vaccine. 158,045 of the 165,000 dogs examined had their rabies shots. Risk no more than 5% Type I error. What is the P^? (round to nearest thousandth)
