You are management for a chain of department stores. Your analytics team believes that the proportion of months with lost sales for one of your department stores is 25%. You believe it is higher than this, so you gather some data for the last 4 years. You find that for 48 months there were 17 months where there were lost sales.

Support for the U.S. death penalty for convicted murderers was 63% in 2014 (Gallup poll results 2018). In a recent survey of 150 randomly selected U.S. adults, 75 said they were in favor of the death penalty for those convicted of murder. Does this sample appear to come from a population with a lower proportion in favor of the death penalty? a) State the null and alternative hypotheses in words. b) State the null and alternative hypotheses using symbols. c) What type of test is this?
A golf instructor claims that more than 70% of his students have improved their driving distance by at least 20 yards after viewing and applying the techniques described in his instructional video. If 138 out of 180 viewers say that their driving distance has improved by at least 20 yards, is the instructor's claim valid? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this scenario. Is the instructor's claim that "more than 70% of his students have improved their driving distance by at least 20 yards," valid? Your response should include your decision and conclusion in context of the scenario.

We would like to test the claim that more than 15% of households use email in the U.S. In a survey, we sampled 900 households and found that 10% of them use e- mails. Which of the following are the correct null and alternative hypotheses? a) Ho:p = 0.1; Ha:p > 0.1 b) Họ:p = 0.1; Ha:p > 0.15 c) Ho:p = 0.15; Hạ:p > 0.15 d) Ho:p > 0.15;Ha-p = 0.15
When conducting a hypothesis test, what would it mean if the researcher obtains a negative test statistic? The sample is too small. It’s very unlikely the results would have occurred just by chance alone. The sample statistic is smaller than the claimed population parameter. A mistake was made in terms of calculating the test statistic. The sample statistic is larger than the claimed population parameter.
