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 different than 75%. At a .05 level of significance, it can be concluded that the proportion of the population in favor of candidate A is significantly different than 80% significantly different than 75% not significantly different than 80% not significantly greater than 80% not significantly different than 75%

An airline claims that luggage is rarely lost (does not arrive at the destination at the same time as the passenger). The airline claims that if luggage is lost, in 87% of cases the airline is able to recover and deliver the luggage within 24 hours. A consumer watchdog group found a random sample of 125 people whose luggage was lost and found that 99 of them had their luggage recovered and returned within 24 hours. The Sample proportion p-hat is 99/125 = 0.792. The watchdog group wants to perform a hypothesis test against the claim that the airline is able to recover 87% of lost luggage in 24 hours. What is the test statistic?
Homser Lake, Oregon, has an Atlantic salmon catch-and-release program that has been very successful. The average fisherman's catch has been ? = 9.0 Atlantic salmon per day. Suppose that a new quota system restricting the number of fishermen has been put into effect this season. A random sample of fishermen gave the following catches per day:12 6 11 12 5 0 27 8 7 6 3 12 12 I need help with (b) and the value of the sample test statistic
A random sample of n1 = 157 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and 12 were found to be high school dropouts. Another random sample of n2 = 129 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and 6 were found to be high school dropouts. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of high school dropouts on Oahu is different (either way) from that of Sweetwater County? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p1 − p2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
The records of a light bulb manufacturer show that, when the manufacturing machinery is working correctly, the defect rate (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1%. The manufacturer's control department periodically tests samples of the bulbs, and when 1.25% or more are defective, they call repair technicians for service. The control department is going to take a random sample of 4400 light bulbs. Let p be the proportion of defective light bulbs in the sample assuming the machinery is working correctly. A) find the mean of p b)find the standard deviation of p c)Compute an approximation for P≥p0.0125, which is the probability that, assuming the machinery is working correctly, the repair technicians will be called. Round your answer to four decimal places.

A newspaper article claims that 92 percent of teens use social media. To investigate the claim, a polling organization selected a random sample of 100 teens, and 96 teens in the sample indicated that they use social media. Given the data, why is it not appropriate to use a one-sample z-test for a proportion to test the newspaper’s claim? The random sample condition is not met. A The sample is more than 10% of the population. B The observed number of teens in the sample who do not use social media is less than 10. C The expected number of teens in the sample who do not use social media is less than 10. D The distribution of the population is not approximately normal.
In a survey, 37% of the respondents stated that they talk to their pets on the telephone. A veterinarian believed this result to be too high, so he randomly selected 200 pet owners and discovered that 73 of them spoke to their pet on the telephone. Does the veterinarian have a right to be skeptical? Use the a = 0.1 level of significance. Because npo (1- Po) 10, the sample size is 5% of the population size, and the sample the requirements for testing the hypothesis satisfied. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

The researcher randomly selects individuals into either group. However, some individuals drop out of the study which results in unequal sample sizes.
