A statistician read that 77% of the population oppose replacing $1 bills with $1 coins. To see if this claim is valid, he selected a sample of 80 people and found that 55 were opposed to replacing the $1 bill. At α = 0.01, test the claim that at least 77% of the population are opposed to change

In 2022, the CDC reported that 12.5% of U.S. adults currently smoke cigarettes. From the same report, a random sample of 12,405 Ohioans was taken with 2543 being current smokers. Using α = 0.05, test whether the proportion of Ohioans that smoke cigarettes is different than the proportion of U.S. adults
A researcher would like to examine how the chemical tryptophan, contained in foods such as turkey, can affect mental alertness. A sample of n = 9 college students is obtained and each student’s performance on a familiar video game is measured before and after eating a traditional Thanksgiving dinner including roast turkey. The average score dropped by M = 14 points after the meal with SS = 1152 for the difference scores. A. Is there is significant difference in performance before eating versus after eating? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. SMD = ___________________________ tcritical = ________________________ tcalculated = ________________________ Decision = _______________________ B. Compute r2 to measure the size of the effect. r2 = _____________________________ C. Write a sentence demonstrating how the outcome of the test and the measure of effect size would…
16% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a different percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 337 people from the inner city surveyed, 47 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of α= 0.05? a. The test statistic= (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) b. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
In a random sample of 1022 Canadian adults, 480 think that the Canadian government is doing too little to protect the environment. In another random sample of 1008 Canadian adults taken 10 years ago, 514 think that the Canadian government is doing too little to protect the environment. At a=0.10, can you reject the claim that the proportion of US adults who think that the Canadian government is doing too little to protect the environment hasn't changed?
An airline claims that the no-show rate for passengers is less than 5%. In a sample of 420 randomly selected reservations, 19 were no-shows. At =0.01, test the airlines claim.
The Office of the University Registrar of Seoul University would like to know if the degree programs in College of Science and Math are equally preferred by students. Furthermore, the office would like to know if such degree programs are related to the gender of the students. The test claim that the proportions of the students enrolled are equal in each degree program at alpha=0.05 Using the data on the number of currently enrolled students in each gender (M of F) in each of the four degree programs, find the: a. Table showing the observed and expected values b. Chi-square critical Value c. Chi-square test statistic d. Accept or Reject the null hypothesis?
Life on Other Planets Forty-five percent of people believe that there is life on other planets in the universe. A scientist does not agree with this finding. He surveyed 110 randomly selected individuals and found 66 believed that there is life on other planets. At α=0.05, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage differs from 45? Use the P-value method with a graphing calculator. State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis. H0 : p=0.45 ▼not claim H1 : p≠0.45 ▼claim This hypothesis test is a ▼two-tailed test. Find the P-value. Round the answer to four decimal places. P-value = ___________________
A Pew poll taken in 2010 surveyed 830 people aged 18-29 and found that 166 of themhad one or more tattoos. Based on this survey, can you conclude that the percentageof people aged 18-29 who have a tattoo is less than 25%? Use the α = 0.01 level ofsignificance.
A research center claims that 31% of adults in a certain country would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. In a random sample of 800 adults in that country, 33% say that they would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. At a =0.01, is there enough evidence to reject the research center's claim? Complete parts (a) through (d) below. C No more than % of adults in the country would travel into space on a commercial ight it they could attord it. Let p be the population proportion of successes, where a success is an adult in the country who would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it.

A weight-lifting coach claims that weight-lifters can increase their strength by taking vitamin E. To test the theory, the coach randomly selects 9 athletes and gives them a strength test using a bench press. Thirty days later, after regular training supplemented by vitamin E, they are tested again. The results are listed below. Use the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to test the claim that the vitamin E supplement is effective in increasing athletes' strength. Use α = 0.05.
Do you prefer paintings in which the people are fully clothed? This question was asked by a professional survey group on behalf of a national arts organization. A random sample of n1 = 58 people who are conservative voters showed that r1 = 45 said yes. Another random sample of n2 = 64 people who are liberal voters showed that r2 = 39 said yes. Does this indicate that the population proportion of conservative voters who prefer art with fully clothed people is higher? Use α = 0.05. (a) What is the level of significance?State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 ≠ p2H0: p1 > p2; H1: p1 = p2 H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 < p2H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 > p2 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? The Student's t.
