According to a study, approximately 60% of US adults believe that they have achieved, or are within reach of, the "American Dream" (that is, home ownership and financial stability). Now consider a random sample of 400 US adults. What is the probablity that over 65% of the sampled adults believe they have reached or are optimistic about reaching the American Dream?

Economy in Recession? The Quinnipiac University Poll conducts nationwide surveys as a public service and for research. This problem is based on the results of one such poll. Independent simple random samples of registered Democrats, Republicans, and Independents were asked, “Do you think the United States economy is in a recession now?” Of the 628Democrats sampled, 220 responded “yes,” as did 349 of the 471 Republicans sampled and 342 of the 646 Independents sampled. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the percentages of registered Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who thought the U.S. economy was in a recession at the time?

Med School 2011 According to the Association ofAmerican Medical Colleges, only 46% of medical schoolapplicants were admitted to a medical school in the fallof 2011.5Upon hearing this, the trustees of StrivingCollege expressed concern that only 77 of the 180students in their class of 2011 who applied to medicalschool were admitted. The college president assured the trustees that this was just the kind of year-to-year fluctua-tion in fortunes that is to be expected and that, in fact, the school’s success rate was consistent with the nationalaverage. Who is right?a) What are the hypotheses?b) Check the conditions and find the P-value.c) Are the trustees right to be concerned, or is thepresident correct? Explain.
Hypothesis Test: Perform the specified hypothesis test. Be sure to include your statistical andin-context conclusion statements. In 1994, 52% of parents with children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high schoolstudents were not being taught enough math and science. A recent survey found that 512 of 1000 parentswith children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taughtenough math and science. Do parents feel different today than they did in 1994? Use the α = 0.005significance level.
A high school track coach wanted to test whether giving the students an energy drink could affect performance during the 100 meter race. The coach split the 26 boys into two equal sized groups, where Group 1 was given the energy drink and Group 2 was not. The 100 meter race times were recorded during practice and shown in the table below. What inference can be made about the results? Group 1 Group 2 12.2 13 12.5 12.3 13.3 12.8 12.9 13 13 13.8 12.1 13 13 13 13 13 12.1 13 13 13 12.1 13 12.8 13 13 12.6 Mean: 12.7 Mean: 13 Since the simulation shows ( many cases or free cases )? where a mean difference of ( solve for this answer ) or less occurred when the groups were re-randomized, it can be inferred that the mean difference observed in the study was ( very possibly or very unlikely ) ?due to the random assignment of participants into groups, so the results of the study are (…
Read the scenario below to determine which one of the five areas of construct validity (content, response processes, internal consistency, relationship to other variables and consequences) is of most concern. Researchers developed a new and different exam for admission into graduate school. Researchers constructed a Table of Specifications for the new exam.
