According to a Pew Research Center nationwide telephone survey of adults conducted between March 15 and April 24, 2011, 55% of college graduates said that college education prepared them for a job (Time, May 30, 2011). Suppose this result was true of all college graduates at that time. In a recent sample of 1900 coilege graduates, 60% said that college education prepared them for a job. Is there significant evidence at a 2% significance level to conclude that the current percentage of all college graduates who will say that college education prepared them for a job is different from 55%? Use both the p-value and the critical-value approaches. Round your answers for the observed value of z and the critical value of z to two decimal places, and the p-value to four decimal places. Enter the critical values in increasing order. Zobserved p-value - Critical values: and We can conclude that the current percentage of all college graduates who will say that college education prepared them for a job is 55%.

It is believed that 11% of all Americans are left-handed. A college needs to know how many left-handed desks to place in the big lecture halls being constructed on its campus. In a random sample of 210 students from that college, whether or not a student was left-handed was recorded for each student. The college wants to know if the data provide enough evidence to show that students at this college have a different percentage of left-handers than the general American population? State the random variable, population parameter, and hypotheses. State the Type I and Type II errors in the context of this problem.a) The symbol for the random variable involved in this problem is The wording for the random variable in context is as follows: b) The symbol for the parameter involved in this problem is The wording for the parameter in context is as follows: c) Fill in the correct null and alternative hypotheses: H0:H0: HA:HA:…

A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.

Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?
According to a report, 57.8% of murders are committed with a firearm. (a) If 300 murders are randomly selected, how many would we expect to be committed with a firearm? (b) Would it be unusual to observe 182 murders by firearm in a random sample of 300 murders? Why?
The dataset "nurses" is a random sample of 1,000 cases from “Health Care Provider Credential Data” from Washington State Open Data Portal. In the sample, there are 418 CNA's and 278 of the CNA's have expired credentials. Use the statistics from the nurses dataset to answer the following question: "With 90% confidence, what percent of all CNA's on Washington State's healthcare provider list are expired?"
6) Any basketball fan knows that Shaquille O’Neal, one of the NBA’s most dominant centers of the last twenty years, always had difficulty shooting free throws. Over the course of his career, his overall made free-throw percentage was 53.3%. During one off-season, Shaq had been working with an assistant coach on his free-throw technique. During the next season, a simple random sample showed that Shaq made 26 of 39 free-throw attempts. Test the claim that Shaq has significantly improved his free-throw shooting using a 0.05 significance level. Check the conditions of the Central Limit Theorem for this scenario. Calculate the number of failures.
