A tourist company did a survey to determine if more New Yorkers or more Californians recognize a certain type of giraffe. Of the 583 New Yorkers surveyed, 198 knew the type of giraffe while 188 out 641 Californians knew the type of giraffe. At the 0.1 significance level, test the claim that the recognition rates of a certain type of giraffe are the same in both states. What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and values.)

A company that produces a particular brand of juice knows that about 30% of people select that brand if given a choice of all brands. To determine if a commercial would be an effective advertising tool, the company invites 100 people to view a 30-minute program that includes a commercial for the company’s juice. After the program, the participants are offered a choice of juice brands. In this trial, 36 of the 100 participants chose the company’s juice. When a significance test was performed to determine if the true proportion of people who watch the commercial and select the company’s juice exceeds 30%, the P-value was 0.0952. At the α = 0.05 significance level, what decision should the company make? A. Because the P-value of 0.0952 > α = 0.05, the company has evidence that the true proportion of those who would select the company’s juice is larger than 30%. B. Because the P-value of 0.0952 < 0.3, the company has evidence that the true proportion of those who would select the…
The table below includes results from polygraph (lie detector) experiments conducted by researchers. In each case, it was known if the subjected lied or did not lie, so the table indicates when the polygraph test was correct. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that whether a subject lies is independent of the polygraph test indication. Do the results suggest that polygraphs are effective in distinguishing between truth and lies? TABLE Did the Subject Actually Lie? No (Did Not Lie) Yes (Lied) Polygraph test indicated that the subject lied. 7 41 Polygraph test indicated that the subject did not lie. 18 11 Determine the test statistic. X2 = The P-value is
Lan says that students’ favorite restaurants in Conway are not equally distributed between ZaZa’s, Umami, Mike’s Place, Brick and Forge, and The Pasta Grill. Nynaeve tests this claim by asking 40 students what their favorite restaurant is. Her survey results are 12 for ZaZa, 6 for Umami, 3 for Mike’s Place, 8 for Brick and Forge, and 11 for The Pasta Grill. Test the validity of Lan’s claim with a significance level of α = 0.05. [Hint: You are testing whether your data is a good fit against the presumption that all are equal.]
An online poll asked: "Do you believe the Loch Ness monster exists?" Among 21,523 responses, 61% were "yes." Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that most people believe that the Loch Ness monster exists. How is the conclusion affected by the fact that Internet users who saw the question could decide whether to respond?
A concerned group of citizens wanted to know if the proportion of armed robberies in Texas was different in 2011 than in 2010. Their research showed that of the 113,231 violent crimes in Texas in 2010, 7,622 of them were armed robberies. In 2011, 7,439 of the 104,873 violent crimes were in the armed robbery category. Test at a 5% significance level.a) The null and alternative hypothesis would be: �0:�2010=�2011�1:�2010≠�2011 �0:�2010=�2011�1:�2010<�2011 �0:�2010=�2011�1:�2010≠�2011 �0:�2010=�2011�1:�2010>�2011 �0:�2010=�2011�1:�2010>�2011 �0:�2010=�2011�1:�2010<�2011 b) Determine the test statistic.

Christine, a researcher in psychology and biobehavioral health, believes that city residents and residents of rural areas differ in how appealing they find owning a cat. A random sample of 109 people who live in San Antonio were surveyed and 59 identified themselves as a "cat person." A random sample of 108 people who live in the surrounding rural area were selected and 72 identified themselves as a "cat person." Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test at the a = 0.1 significance level to test Christine's claim. Round answers to 4 decimal places where appropriate. a. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: p. H₁: p. b. What is the appropriate distribution to use for the hypothesis test? Z (Normal) c. Find the test statistic. Test Statistic: -1.9593 X d. Determine the P-value: op.

Do the needs of patients in the emergency room differ for those who come by car vs. those by ambulance? Of the randomly selected emergency room patients who came by car 51 had an injury, 40 were sick, 31 had heart problems and 61 had other needs. Of the randomly selected emergency room patients who came by ambulance 45 had an injury, 30 were sick, 55 had heart problems and 38 had other needs. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test using an a = 0.10 level of significance. a. What is the correct statistical test to use? O Paired t-test O Homogeneity Goodness-of-Fit O Independence b. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Ho: O Means of transportation to the emergency room and emergency room needs are independent. Means of transportation to the emergency room and emergency room needs are dependent. The distribution of emergency room needs for patients who come by car is the same as it is for patients who come by ambulance. The distribution of emergency room needs for patients who…

A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 285 people over the age of 55, 76 dream in black and white, and among 287 people under the age of 25, 10 dream in black and white. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. Consider the first sample to be the sample of people over the age of 55 and the second sample to be the sample of people under the age of 25.

A fitness center piloted two new programs to help people reduce stress levels and maintain a healthy lifestyle. After one month, 112 of the 125 people who volunteered for a program in mindfulness reported a reduction in stress levels, and 110 of the 135 people who volunteered for a yoga program reported a reduction in stress levels. The fitness center wants to investigate whether there is a significant difference between the proportions of all people in the two programs who would report reductions in stress levels. Have the conditions for inference been met? No, because the samples were not selected or assigned using a random method. Answer A: No, because the samples were not selected or assigned using a random method. A No, because the sizes of the samples are too large compared to the size of the population. Answer B: No, because the sizes of the samples are too large compared to the size of the population. B No, because the normality of the sampling…
