A psychologist is interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of people who accept the theory that a person's spirit is no more than the complicated network of neurons in the brain. 63 of the 743 randomly selected people who were surveyed agreed with this theory. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 90% confidence the proportion of all people who accept the theory that a person's spirit is no more than the complicated network of neurons in the brain is between and b. If many groups of 743 randomly selected people are surveyed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of all people who accept the theory that a person's spirit is no more than the complicated network of neurons in the brain and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.

Research is interested in the relationship of video games of high school students' SAT scores, and he hypothesizes that students who play video games for a longer time are predicted to have a lower SAT score. To test his hypothesis, he randomly selected 60 high school students and asked: 1) how many hours do you spend playing video games each week? 2) what is your SAT score? a) What is the research question? b) What graphs can be used to display the video games time and SAT score visually? c) What statistical test can be used to answer the research question?
A survey indicates that you should always try to negotiate for a better deal when shopping or paying for services. In fact, based on this survey, 30% of the people under the age of 34 were more likely to "haggle," compared to only 10% of those aged 65 and older. Suppose that this survey included 90 people under the age of 34 and 60 people who are 65 or older. (a) What are the values of Punder 34 and P65 or older for the two groups in this survey? under 34 P65 or over USE SALT = (b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of people who are more likely to "haggle" in the "under 34" versus "65 and older" age groups.

In a recent poll 600 adults were asked a series of questions about the state of the economy and their children's future. One question was, "do you expect your children to have a better life than you have had, a worse life, or a life about the same as yours?" Suppose the responses showed 245 better, 313 worse, and 42 about the same. Use the sign test and a = 0.05 to determine whether there is a difference between the number of adults who feel their children will have a better life compared to a worse life. State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Let p = the proportion of adults who feel their children will have a better life.) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) z= Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) p-value=
How much customers buy is a direct result of how much time they spend in the store. A study of average shopping times in a large national houseware store gave the following information (Source: Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping by P. Underhill). Women with female companion: 8.3 min.Women with male companion: 4.5 min. Stores that sell mainly to women should figure out a way to engage the interest of men! Perhaps comfortable seats and a big TV with sports programs. Suppose such an entertainment center was installed and you now wish to challenge the claim that a woman with a male friend spends only 4.5 minutes shopping in a houseware store.
To test a drug intended to increase memory, 80 subjects were randomly given a pill that either contained the drug or was a placebo. After ten minutes, the subjects were asked to look at a poster with pictures of 20 common objects for five minutes. After waiting ten minutes, the subjects were asked to list as many of the objects as they could recall. For the subjects that took the drug, 75% were able to list at least half of the objects. For the subjects that took the placebo, 70% were able to list at least half of the objects. Check that the conditions are met for a hypothesis test to compare the population proportion of subjects that took the drug that could list at least half of the objects to the proportion that took the placebo that could. Select the correct answer below: All of the conditions are met. The samples are not random samples of the populations. O The samples are not independent. Not all the values np. n₁q. nap, and nag are at least 5.
A consumer researcher gave consumers a sample shampoo. After using the shampoo, each consumer used an interval-level scale to rate his or her satisfaction with it. Scores could range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. Consumers didn’t know each other and were randomly assigned to three groups: (1) receive a store brand of shampoo in a bottle clearly labeled as such, (2) receive a premium brand of shampoo in the premium brand’s bottle, or (3) receive a store brand of shampoo in the premium brand’s bottle. Here are the collected data:Store brand, store bottle70656560M = 65 s= 4.08SSbetween = 1400Premium brand, premium bottle85909590M = 90 s=4.08Store brand, premium bottle85809085M = 85 s=4.
Surprisingly, a study found that children under stress reported fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety but scored higher on a Lie Scale (a measure of tendency to give socially desirable responses). The population mean for the Lie Scale for nonstressed children is 3.8. The sample of 24 children's scores are listed below. Test the hypothesis that children under stress are more likely to give socially desirable answers.

In a survey of families in which both parents work, one of the questions asked was, “Have you refused a job, promotion, or transfer because it would mean less time with your family?” A total of 200 men and 200 women were asked this question. “Yes” was the response given by 29% of the men and 24% of the women. Based on this survey, can we conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of men and women responding “yes” at the 0.05 level of significance?
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. A national standardized test consists of three parts: critical reading, mathematics, and writing. Suppose each part of the test is scored on a 200- to 800-point scale with a median of approximately 510. Scores for each part of the test can be assumed to be symmetric. Use the following data to test the hypothesis that the population median score for the students taking the writing portion of the test is 510. 635 701 439 447 464 502 405 453 471 476 447 590 337 387 514 State the null and alternative hypotheses.

A researcher was interested in finding out whether students’ sense of belonging in a course differed between students attending classes on campus and students attending classes on Zoom. They recruited five students attending classes on campus and five students attending classes on Zoom to test this. Students were asked to complete a survey measuring how much they felt like they belonged in the course. The scale ranged from 0 (not at all) to 10 (very much). Students’ data, which were non-normal, are provided below.
