A past study claimed that adults in America spent an average of 18 hours a week on leisure activities. A researcher wanted to test this claim. She took a sample of 10 adults and asked them about the time they spend per week on leisure activities. Their responses (in hours) are as follows. 14.0 16.2 21.8 22.2 24.7 32.6 19 20.5 20.9 20.3 Assume that the times spent on leisure activities by all adults are normally distributed. Using the 5% significance level, can you conclude that the average amount of time spent by American adults on leisure activities has changed? (Hint: First calculate the sample mean and the sample standard deviation for these data. Then make the test of hypothesis about u.) Round the sample standard deviation to three decimal places.

Kindly assist with creating bar charts, or pie charts for the below results; The results of this study were based on interviews issued and completed by eleven (11) employees at the Hotel. This research study comprised 31.4% of the total workforce across the three departments, with a total of 35 employees who varied in age from 16 years to above 65 years. 63.6% of individuals who participated were female, while 36% were male. The interviews included participation from 30% of employees in the housekeeping department, 33% from Guest Services, and 31% from the Food and Beverage department. There is a higher representation of females across all departments, with a total of 7 females compared to 4 males. There is a range of tenure lengths, with some employees having just started (1 year) and others having been with the hotel for longer periods (up to 14.5 years).

Age and Gender. The U.S. Census Bureau publishes census data on the resident population of the United States in Current Population Survey. According to that document, 7.3% of male residents are in the age group 20–24 years. a. If no association exists between age group and gender, what percentage of the resident population would be in the age group 20–24 years? Explain your answer.b. If no association exists between age group and gender, what percentage of female residents would be in the age group 20–24 years? Explain your answer.c. There are about 158 million female residents of the United States. If no association exists between age group and gender, how many female residents would there be in the age group 20–24 years?d. In fact, there are some 10.9 million female residents in the age group 20–24 years. Given this number and your answer to part (c), what do you conclude?
Page 160 #17 We predict that children exhibit more aggressive act after watching a violent television show. The scores for ten children were recorded before they watched a violent show and then after they watched a violent show. Aggression was measured in terms of number of aggressive acts (e.g. hitting, yelling, kicking etc). Sample 1 (after TV show): 5,6,4,4,7,3,2,1,4,1 Sample 2 (before TV show): 4,6,3,2,4,1,0,0,5,2 Is this a one-tailed or two-tailed test?

International experience around the world is important in our culture of globalization. According to NAFSA, 54.5% of all American students traveling abroad went to Europe in the 2014-2015 academic year. To determine if there is shift in the proportion of students traveling to Europe, suppose a random sample of 300 students who had studied abroad was taken for the 2015-2016 school year. One-hundred sixty of the students traveled to Europe. a. Conduct a test to determine if the proportion of students traveling to Europe has changed. Be sure to provide a complete write-up. b. Based on the hypothesis test, would you expect 0.545 to be in confidence interval for the proportion? Explain without constructing the interval.
