A random sample of 415 potential voters was interviewed three weeks before the start of a state-wide campaign for governor; 223 of the 415 said they favored the new candidate over the incumbent (the only two candidates running). Is there sufficient evidence to support that if the election were held this day that the new candidate would win? Which of the following should be used to answer this question? One sample Z test on the proportion Two sample t test on the mean One sample nonparametric test Paired t test on the mean

Two computer users were discussing tablet computers. A higher proportion of people ages 16 to 29 use tablets than the proportion of people age 30 and older. The table below details the number of tablet owners for each age group. Test at the 1% level of significance. (For subscripts let 1 = 16-29 year old users, and 2 = 30 years old and older users.) 16–29 year olds 30 years old and older Own a Tablet 69 231 Sample Size 625 2,313 NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed.

A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned.   Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.”    Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations.   1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.
The accuracy of a census report on a city in southern California was questioned by some government officials. A random sample of 1215 people living in the city was used to check the report, and the results are shown below.

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.)

Suppose that 75% of adults agree that, while downloading music from the Internet and then selling it is piracy and should be prohibited, downloading for personal use is an innocent act and should not be prohibited. We'll take a random sample of 30 adults and ask if they agree with the statement. Then the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of people who answer yes to the question is:
One cable company advertises that it has excellent customer service. In fact, the company advertises that a technician will be there within 30 minutes of when a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not the truth, claiming that it takes over 30 minutes for the cable repairman to arrive. The customer asks 15 of his neighbors how long it has taken for the cable repairman to arrive when they have called for him. The sample mean for this group is 32.2 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 3.6 minutes. Test the customer’s claim at the 0.02 level of significance. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses (b) Find the value of your test statistic. Draw a picture and label its location on the normal curve. Also shade the area where you will find the p-value. (c) Calculate the p-value from the sample data. Compare it to the significance level. Label it’s value and location on your bell curve (d) Write a full…

Random digit dialing telephone surveys used to exclude cell phone numbers. If the opinions of people who have only cell phones differ from those of people who have landline service, the poll results may not represent the entire adult population. The Pew Research Center interviewed separate random samples of cell-only and landline telephone users who were less than 30 years old. Here’s what the Pew survey found about how these people describe their political party affiliation. Do we reject, or fail to reject, the null hypothesis?
Which part(s) is it reasonable to say that a. Factor A does not affect the mean of the response variable. b. Factor B does not affect the mean of the response variable. c. neither factor affects the mean of the response variable. Each graph in Fig. C.4 shows a plot of the cell means for a 2 × 2 ANOVA. For each part, using only the graphs, conjecture on the results of the three hypothesis tests. (Note: For convenience we have denoted the two levels of Factor A as A1 and A2.) FIGURE C.4
