A USA Today poll asked a random sample of 1012 U.S. adults what they do with the milk in the bowl after they have eaten the cereal. Let p be the proportion of people in the sample who drink the cereal milk. A spokesman for the dairy industry claims that 70% of all U.S. adults drink the cereal milk. Suppose this claim is true. Verify the sampling distribution of p is approximately Normal. Because np = 1012(0.70) = 708.4 > 10 and n(1 – p) = 1012(0.30) = 303.6 > 10, the sampling distribution of p is not approximately Normal. O Because p = 0.70, the sampling distribution of p is skewed to the left. Because np = 1012(0.70) = 708.4 > 10 and n(1 – p) = 1012(0.30) = 303.6 > 10, the sampling distribution of ô is approximately Normal. O Because 1012 > 30, the sampling distribution of p is not approximately Normal. O Because 70 > 30, the sampling distribution of p is approximately Normal.

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly more than 0.46. Your sample data produce the test statistic z=1.883. Find the p-value accurate to 4 decimal places.
It has been claimed that at UCLA at least 40% of the students live on campus. In a random sample of 250 students, 90 were found to live on campus. Does the evidence support the claim at = .01?
Assume that a high school principal believes that high number of absences hinders the students' ability to perform on standardized tests. He randomly selects a sample of 9 students who had 5 or more absences in the school year. The average ACT Composite score for this sample is X = 19 with s = 4.9. ACT Composite scores are normally distributed with u = 21.0. Do the data support the claim that the high number of absences hinders the students' ability to perform on standardized tests, using a = .05? Please show the four-step hypothesis test. %3D
A survey of 2255 randomly selected US adults found that 51% said they know all or most of their neighbors. Find 90% CI for the proportion of US adults they know most or all their neighbors. The sample size of 200 is large enough to use a normal distribution.
Random samples of students at 107 four-year colleges were interviewed several times since 1998. Of the students who reported drinking alcohol, the percentage who reported bingeing at least three times within the past two weeks was 41.1% of 336 students in 1998 and 21.6% of 843 students in 2004. a. Estimate the difference between the proportions in 2004 and 1998, and interpret. b. Find the standard error for this difference. Interpret it. c. Define the two relevant population parameters to compare in the context of this exercise. d. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval to estimate the true difference. e. State the assumptions for the confidence interval in part d to be valid. ... A. The number of students in the population in 2004 who reported drinking alcohol that binged at least three times within the past two weeks. B. The proportion of the student population in 1998 who reported drinking alcohol that binged at least three times within the past two weeks. C. The number…
Imagine that a researcher wants to compare the intelligence levels of Poodles to all dogs. He hypothesizes that Poodles will score differently than other dogs. He uses a standard test of dog intelligence in his study. The population of all dogs has a mean of μ = 100, and an SD of 15. He obtains a random sample of 500 Poodles and he finds that the mean intelligence score of the sample is 117. Is this a one- or two- tailed test? Write the Ho and Ha for this research question. What kind of statistic should be calculated to test the hypothesis? Compute that statistic by hand What should the researcher conclude? Write a blurb describing the results

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly different from 0.74. Your sample data produce the test statistic z=2.133. Find the p-value accurate to 4 decimal places.
a survey is conducted to compare the proportions of men and women whoaccess their bank statements online. Denoting the population propotions by Pm and Pw, a two-proportion z-test is carried out to test Ho: pm = pw against Ha: pm > pw. The values of the test statistic is found to be z = 0.784, and the p-value for the test is found to be 0.216. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the p-value? a) given that ha is true, the probability of getting a value of z at least as large as 0.784 is 0.216. b) given the results of the survey, the probability that Pm > Pw is 0.216. c) given the results of the survey, the probability that Pm = Pw is 0.216. d) none of the above
