A political campaign is interested in whether a geographic difference existed in support for raising the minimum wage in a certain state. Polls were conducted in the two largest cities in the state about raising the minimum wage. In city 1, a poll of 800 randomly selected voters found that 238 supported raising the minimum wage. In city 2, a poll of 1000 randomly selected voters found that 267 supported raising the minimum wage. What type of hypothesis test should be performed? Select

Find the P -value for the indicated hypothesis test. A medical school claims that more than 28% of its students plan to go into general practice. It is found that among a random sample of 120 of the school's students, 30% of them plan to go into general practice. Find the P -value for a test of the school's claim.
Christine, a researcher in psychology and biobehavioral health, believes that city residents and residents of rural areas differ in how appealing they find owning a cat. A random sample of 109 people who live in San Antonio were surveyed and 59 identified themselves as a "cat person." A random sample of 108 people who live in the surrounding rural area were selected and 72 identified themselves as a "cat person." Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test at the a = 0.1 significance level to test Christine's claim. Round answers to 4 decimal places where appropriate. a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

A manager for an insurance company believes that customers have the following preferences for life insurance products: 30% prefer Whole Life, 30% prefer Universal Life, and 40% prefer Life Annuities. The results of a survey of 220 customers were tabulated. Is it possible to refute the sales manager's claimed proportions of customers who prefer each product using the data? Whole: 55Universal: 77 Annuities: 88 a). State the null and alternative hypothesis. b). What does the null hypothesis indicate about the proportions of customers who prefer each insurance product c). State the null and alternative hypothesis in terms of the expected proportions for each category. d). Find the expected value for the number of customers who prefer Whole Life, Universal Life, and Annuities. Round your answers to two decimal places. e). Find the value of the test statistic.

Some people claim that they can tell the difference between a diet soda and a regular soda in the first sip. A researcher wanting to test this claim randomly sampled 84 such people. She filled 84 plain white cups with soda, half diet and half regular through random assignment, and asked each person to take one sip from their cup and identify the soda as diet or regular. 51 participants correctly identified the soda. Conduct and interpret a hypothesis test for the following question: are these people any better or worse at telling the difference between diet and regular soda than random guessing (correctly identify soda half of the time)? HINT: what is your hypothesized proportion if you want to test if these participants are right or not half of the time? Use a = .01 significance level. Solve Critical value:
The mayor of a town wants to propose a plan for the annexation of a new community. The mayor would like to know if the majority of the residents favor the annexation before calling a formal referendum on the topic. A research company was hired to survey a sample of residents to determine their views on the annexation. The researchers randomly selected 850 residents and found that 50.8% favored the annexation. Determine if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that a majority of residents favor the annexation of the new community at the 1% level of significance. Step 5 of 5: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
A Gallup Poll in November of 2008 showed that 22% of men (110 out of 500) said they were seriously trying to lose weight. In 2006, 24% of men (120 out of 500) said they were seriously trying to lose weight. a) Determine the proportions of men in 2006 and in 2008 were seriously trying to lose weight. Let p1 stand for 2008 data and p2 be for 2006 data. b) state the null and alternate hypothesis. c) Use your calculator to run a two-proportion hypothesis test. Interpret your result with respect to the significance level and the hypotheses in the context of the problem. (As part of your answer, write what you entered into your calculator for the hypothesis test.)
Minnesota had the highest turnout rate of any state for the 2016 presidential election.† Political analysts wonder if turnout in rural Minnesota was higher than turnout in the urban areas of the state. A sample shows that 654 of 872 registered voters from rural Minnesota voted in the 2016 presidential election, while 378 out of 525 registered voters from urban Minnesota voted. (a) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses that can be used to test whether registered voters in rural Minnesota were more likely than registered voters in urban Minnesota to vote in the 2016 presidential election. (Let p1 = the population proportion of voters in rural Minnesota who voted in the 2016 election and p2 = the population proportion of voters in urban Minnesota who voted in the 2016 election.) H0: p1 − p2 ≤ 0 Ha: p1 − p2 > 0 H0: p1 − p2 ≠ 0 Ha: p1 − p2 = 0 H0: p1 − p2 < 0 Ha: p1 − p2 = 0 H0: p1 − p2 ≥ 0 Ha: p1 − p2 < 0 H0: p1 − p2 = 0 Ha: p1 − p2 ≠ 0 (b) What is the…
Support for the U.S. death penalty for convicted murderers was 63% in 2014 (Gallup poll results 2018). In a recent survey of 150 randomly selected U.S. adults, 75 said they were in favor of the death penalty for those convicted of murder. Does this sample appear to come from a population with a lower proportion in favor of the death penalty? a) State the null and alternative hypotheses in words. b) State the null and alternative hypotheses using symbols. c) What type of test is this?
A study considered the question, "Are you a registered voter?" Accuracy of response was confirmed by a check of city voting records. Two methods of survey were used: a face-to-face interview and a telephone interview. A random sample of 89 people were asked the voter registration question face to face. Of those sampled, seventy-six respondents gave accurate answers (as verified by city records). Another random sample of 90 people were asked the same question during a telephone interview. Of those sampled, eighty-three respondents gave accurate answers. Assume the samples are representative of the general population. At the 95% level, do you detect any difference in the proportion of accurate responses from face-to-face interviews compared with the proportion of accurate responses from telephone interviews(Show your 2-Prop z Int confidence in interval notation and show your interpretation) I:76, n2=90,X2= 83, CiL = 6.95 89 O.1602 < P, -P2<0. 0236 yd borminoo 76 0.8539 s 83=…

A political campaign is interested in whether a geographic difference existed in support for raising the minimum wage in a certain state. Polls were conducted in the two largest cities in the state about raising the minimum wage. In city 1, a poll of 800 randomly selected voters found that 504 supported raising the minimum wage. In city 2, a poll of 1000 randomly selected voters found that 627 supported raising the minimum wage. What type of hypothesis test should be performed? ______ select (left-tailed z-test, two-tailed z-test, left-tailed t-test, right-tailed t-test) p^1= (Ex:0.123) p^2= (Ex: 0.123) p^= (Ex: 0.123) Test statistic = (Ex: .13) p-value = (Ex: 0.123) Does sufficient evidence exist to support the claim that the level of support differs between the two cities at the α=0.1 significance level?_____ select (no or yes)
A university is currently on the quarter system and is thinking of switching to a semester system. Administrators have heard that a majority of students oppose the switch. They conduct a survey to see if there is evidence of opposition to the switch. They will choose between two hypotheses: there is no clear preference, or the majority of students oppose the switch. Set up a hypothesis test to help the administrators. The data from the survey finds that 220 out of 400 students oppose. From this, you can compute a sample standard deviation. Should they switch or not?
