The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 52 records of automobile driver fatalities in a certain county showed that 33 involved an intoxicated driver. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% in Kit Carson County? Use ? = 0.05. (a) level of significance: .05 | H0: p = 0.77; H1: p < 0.77 (b) The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding. In a random sample of 67 professional actors, it was found that 39 were extroverts. (a) Let p represent the proportion of all actors who are extroverts. Find a point estimate for p. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) Find a 95% confidence interval for p.

A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 80%. After making some recent changes, the marriage counselor now claims that her program can prevent divorce in more than 80% of married couples. In a random sample of 215 married couples who completed her program, 180 of them stayed together. Based on this sample, is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. A. State the null hypothesis Hoand the alternative hypothesis H1. Ho: H1: B. Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) C. Find the critical value. (Round to three or more decimal places.) D. Is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor's claim that the proportion of married couples for whom her program…
In a random sample of males, it was found that 29 write with their left hands and 212 do not. In a random sample of females, it was found that 70 write with their left hands and 444 do not. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of left-handedness among males is less than that among females. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 79%. After making some recent changes, the marriage counselor now claims that her program can prevent divorce in more than 79% of married couples. In a random sample of 250 married couples who completed her program, 205 of them stayed together. Based on this sample, is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

You are a process engineer for a company that manufactures widgets. A particular machine at your company has some downtime during the day on 36.5% of days. You decided to make some changes to how the machine is calibrated in an attempt to reduce downtime. 63 days after your changes were implemented, you find that the machine had some downtime during the day on 31.0% of days. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the proportion of days that the machine has downtime has decreased from before, with a= 0.1. * Using this information, what is the p in your analysis? Note: 1- Only round your final answer. Enter your final answer with 2 decimal places.
A manufacturer considers his production process to be out of control when defects exceed 4%. In a random sample of 146 items, the defect rate is 8.3% but the manager claims that this is only a sample fluctuation and production is not really out of control. At the 5% level of significance, use the p-value method to test the manager's claim. Enter the p-value. (Round your answer to nearest thousandth.) When using tables to find a tight range for the p-value, enter one of the boundaries of the interval (not 0 or 1) found using the tables.
A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 78%. After making some recent changes, the marriage counselor now claims that her program can prevent divorce in more than 78% of married couples. In a random sample of 240 married couples who completed her program, 189 of them stayed together. Based on this sample, is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor’s claim at the 0.10 level of significance?Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA, 2017) estimates that 10.9% of the population of the United States age 18–24 had an episode of depression in the previous 12 months. Suppose a researcher takes a random sample of 225 United States adults aged 18–24. Determine the value of the sample proportion, p, such that 5% of samples of 225 United States adults age 18–24 are greater than p. You may find software or a z-table useful. Give your answer precise to three decimal places. p = II
(b) Is there sufficient evidence to conclude, at the 5% level of significance, that the false positive rate is less than 5%? Explain.
In a certain school district, it was observed that 29% of the students in the element schools were classified as only children (no siblings). However, in the special program for talented and gifted children, 130 out of 373 students are only children. The school district administrators want to know if the proportion of only children in the special program is significantly different from the proportion for the school district. Test at the a = 0.05 level of significance. What is the hypothesized population proportion for this test? P =0.34 (Report answer as a decimal accurate to 2 decimal places. Do not report using the percent symbol) Based on the statement of this problem, how many tails would this hypothesis test have? one-tailed test two-tailed test Choose the correct pair of hypotheses for this situation: (C) (В) (A) Ho: p 0.29 Ho:p 0.29 Ho:p 0.29 H p 0.349 Ha p (F) (E) 0.349 (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) (F) N a e W
