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%

A local school board wants to estimate the difference in the proportion of households with school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier, and the proportion of households without school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier. They survey a random sample of 40 households with school-aged children about whether they would support starting the school year a week earlier, and 38 households respond yes. They survey a random sample of 45 households that do not have school-aged children, and 25 respond yes. The school board plans to construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of households who would support starting the school year a week earlier. Are the conditions for inference met? A) Yes, the conditions for inference are met. B) No, the 10% condition is not met. C) No, the randomness condition is not met. D) No, the Large Counts Condition is not met.

Public relation companies conducted two surveys about deodorants. The first survey asked a random sample of 500 men about their use of a natural deodorant. A second survey asked the same questions to a random sample of 550 women. In these two studies, 68% of men and 44% of women stated they were dissatisfied with the effectiveness of natural deodorants. Use these results to answer the following questions about the proportion of men and women's satisfaction with natural deoderants. (Round to the nearest whole person as needed). What is the difference between the proportion of men and women? _____ (write as a decimal) The standard error for these two samples is ______ . (round to the nearest hundredth) Using a 99% confidence level, the lower limit is _____ and the upper limit is _____
A company is carrying out a consumer satisfaction survey for two of its products, product A and product B. The company believes that product A receives a higher proportion of satisfied customers than product B. Out of the 80 product A customers surveyed, 52 said they were satisfied with the product and out of the 100 product B customers surveyed, 42 said they were satisfied with the product. Use these sample statistics to compare the proportion of product A customers that are satisfied, p 1, and the proportion of product B customers that are satisfied, p 2. i) Carry out a hypothesis test for a significant difference between the two population proportions, at significance level α = 0.05. The hypotheses being tested are: H 0: p 1 - p 2 = 0 H a: p 1 - p 2 ≠ 0. Complete the test by filling in the blanks in the following:An estimate of the difference in population proportions is .The standard error is (3 dec places).The distribution is (examples: normal / t12 /…
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.)
A sociologist studying New York City ethnic groups wants to determine if there is a difference in income for immigrants from four different countries during their first year in the city. She obtained the data in the following table from a random sample of immigrants from these countries (incomes in thousands of dollars). Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that there is no difference in the earnings of immigrants from the four different countries.

A psychologist would like to examine the effects of a new drug on the activity level of animals. Three samples of rats are selected with n=5 in each sample. One group gets no drug, one group gets s small dose, and the third group gets a large dose. The psychologist records the activity level for each animal. The data from this experiment are presented below.

A telephone service representative believes that the proportion of customers completely satisfied with their local telephone service is different between the South and the Midwest. The representative's belief is based on the results of a survey. The survey included a random sample of 11601160 southern residents and 12601260 midwestern residents. 43%43% of the southern residents and 56%56% of the midwestern residents reported that they were completely satisfied with their local telephone service.
