A random sample of 100 people was taken. Eighty of the people in the sample favored Candidate A. We are interested in determining whether or not the proportion of the population in favor of Candidate A is significantly more than 75%. Set up a hypothesis test to see if you can find evidence to refute the claim that more than 75% of the residents favor candidate A.

In 1942, an organization surveyed 1100 adults and asked, "Are you a total abstainer from, or do you on occasion consume, alcoholic beverages?" Of the 1100 adults surveyed, 440 indicated that they were total abstainers. In a recent survey, the same question was asked of 1100 adults and 418 indicated that they were total abstainers.

A plumber was interested in determining whether there is a significant difference in the price charged for plumbing tools by two hardware stores. The plumber selected five tools and recorded the price for each tool in each store. The following data was recorded: Store 1 2 Tool 2 R59.25 R22.50 R450 R44.25 R22.50 R36.75 R75 4 R480 R44.25 R60 Perform the appropriate test of hypothesis to determine whether there is a significant difference, on average, in the price of plumbing tools between the two stores, showing all 7 steps. Include both the rejection region and the p-value.
According to a report done last year by the dental industry, 81% of dentists would recommend Starry Whites toothpaste. After some recent negative publicity, the sales team at Starry Whites suspects the proportion of dentists who now recommend the brand is lower. The team chooses 150 dentists at random and asks them whether they'd recommend the brand. Of those, 118 say they'd recommend it. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.10 level of significance, to conclude that the proportion, p, of all dentists who now recommend this brand is less than 81%. (a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H, that you would use for the test. ( Ho: Aa O 10 under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true.) Here n is the sample size and p is the population proportion you are testing.

While her husband spent 2½ hours picking out new speakers, a statistician decided to determine whether the percent of men who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment is higher than the percent of women who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment. The population was Saturday afternoon shoppers. Out of 68 men, 24 said they enjoyed the activity. Eight of the 23 women surveyed claimed to enjoy the activity. Interpret the results of the survey. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. Let the subscript m= men and w= women. What is the test statistic? (If using the distribution round your answer to two decimal places, and if using the t distribution round your answer to three decimal places.) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Sketch a picture of this situation. Label and scale the horizontal axis and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value. i. ii. iii.
