A survey conducted on a certain website indicated that 44.9% of the people visiting this website consider the color red rather irritating and want the website to use it as little as possible. The survey had a margin of error of 5% with a 95% confidence level. What does this margin of error tell you about the percentage of people visiting this website who do not like the color red? We can be 95% confident that somewhere between % and % of the visitors of this website do not like the color red.

One personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. You are interested in the mean score, μ , among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that μ is 145, but you have good reason to believe that μ is less than 145. You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is 139 and that the standard deviation of their scores is 28. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1that should be used for the test? H0: H1: (b) Suppose that you decide to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might you be making? ▼(Choose one) (c) Suppose the true mean score among the general population on the subsection is 136. Fill in the blanks to describe a Type II error.
