A poll of 1144 Americans showed that 47.2% of the respondents prefer to watch the news rather than read or listen to it. Use those results with a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that fewer than half of Americans prefer to watch the news rather than read or listen to it. Use the P-value method. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. Let p denote the population proportion of all Americans who prefer to watch the news rather than read or listen to it. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: P H₁: p (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)

3. School administrators are interested to see if computer science majors and engineering majors study the same amount of hours per week, on average. A random sample of 125 computer science majors returns a sample average of 25 hours per week and a sample standard deviation of 2 hours. Next, a random sample of 144 engineering majors returns a sample average of 22 hours with a sample standard deviation of 3 hours.
A security expert claims that at most 17% of all homeowners have a home security alarm. State Ho and H. in words and in symbols. Then determine whether the hypothesis test for this claim is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. Explain your reasoning. State the null hypothesis in words and in symbols. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The null hypothesis expressed in words is, "the proportion of all homeowners who own a home security alarm is at most 0.17." The null hypothesis is expressed symbolically as, "Ho: ps0.17." O B. The null hypothesis expressed in words is, "the proportion of all homeowners who own a home security alarm is 0.17." The null hypothesis is expressed symbolically as, "Ho: p= 0.17." O C. The null hypothesis expressed in words is, "the proportion of all homeowners who own "Ho: p20.17." home security alarm is at least 0.17." The null hypothesis is expressed symbolically as, O D. The null hypothesis expressed in words is, "the proportion of all homeowners who…
dentify the type I error and the type II error for a hypothesis test of the indicated claim. The percentage of households with more than 1 pet is less than 65%. Identify the type I error. Choose the correct answer below. A. Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of households with more than 1 pet is less than 65% when it is actually true. B. Fail to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of households with more than 1 pet is less than 65% when it is actually false. C. Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of households with more than 1 pet is greater than or equal to 65% when it is actually true. D. Fail to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of households with more than 1 pet is greater than or equal to 65% when it is actually false. Identify the type II error.

2. Which one of the following statements is correct? A. If you are told a sample percentage is 25%, you would need to know the sample size in order to convert that percentage to a proportion. B. We always begin a hypothesis test by assuming that the alternative hypothesis is true. C. The test statistic is affected by the size of the sample. D. A small P-value means we have evidence in favor of the null hypothesis. E. The test statistic will be negative if the claimed population proportion is smaller than the sample proportion.
When asked what it means for the result of a hypothesis test to be practically significant (or practically important), Tatum says this means that the P-value is small and the null hypothesis has been rejected. what is wrong about this?
Researchers conducted an experiment to test the effects of alcohol. Errors were recorded in a test of visual and motor skills for a treatment group of 23 people who drank ethanol and another group of 23 people given a placebo. The errors for the treatment group have a standard deviation of 2.40, and the errors for the placebo group have a standard deviation of 0.78. Assume that the two populations are normally distributed. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that both groups have the same amount of variation among the errors. Let sample 1 be the sample with the larger sample variance, and let sample 2 be the sample with the smaller sample variance. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? OA. H₂:0² = 0²/2 OB.

(c) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Which of the following is correct? O A. Fail to reject H, because the P-value is greater than the significance level. O B. Reject Hn because the P-value is less than the significance level. O C. Fail to reject H, because the P-value is less than the significance level. O D.

A clothing designer creates a unisex outfit and wants to be 95% certain that it’ll fit both men and women; it was designed to fit an individual of 65 inches height. An assistant gathers the heights of random men and women walking down the street (see the attached data). Using the data, determine if the outfit will fit both men and women with 95% confidence. Need a hypothesis test included.
