- Among college students, the proportion p who say they're interested in their congressional district's election results has traditionally been 65%. After a series of debates on campuses, a political scientist claims that the proportion of college students who say they're interested in their district's election results is more than 65%. A poll is commissioned, and 199 out of a random sample of 275 college students say they're interested in their district's election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist's claim at the 0.01 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

- You are interested in comparing sleep habits of elementary school children. Suppose you have agroup of eighth graders. You asked them in July to estimate about how many hours of sleep they get pernight, on average. You asked those same individuals the same question again in November, during theschool year. Which is the most appropriate test to use?1. The percentage of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported talking at least once in the past year with their parents about the dangers of drug, tobacco, or alcohol is 60% nationally. A state youth council believes this proportion is higher in their state, where there has been an intense media campaign about this issue. A survey of randomly chosen students from across the state shows 1032 of 1642 students reporting they are having these conversations with their parents. Is there evidence that the percent of students using drugs, tobacco or alcohol in this state is above the national rate?The General Social Survey is an annual survey given to a random selection of about 1500 adults in the United States. Among the many questions asked are "What is the highest level of education you've completed?" and "If you're employed full-time, how many hours do you spend working at your job during a typical week?" In a recent year, 1079 respondents answered both questions. The summary statistics are given in the chart below.

This condition results in lack of sleep and extreme fatigue during waking hours. A current estimate is that 11.911.9 million out of the 312.7312.7 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, or approximately 3.8%3.8%. A safety commission is concerned about the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea. They do not have any reason to believe that it would be higher or lower than the population’s percentage. To test the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 3.8%3.8%, a simple random sample of 347347 commercial truck drivers is examined by a medical expert, who concludes that 66 suffer from sleep apnea. Does this evidence support the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 3.8%3.8%? Use a 0.020.02 level of significance. Step 3 of 4 : Find the p-value. Round…The Pew Research Center Internet Project, conducted on the 25th anniversary of theInternet, involved a survey of 857 Internet users (Pew Research Center website, April 1,2014). It provided a variety of statistics on Internet users. For instance, in 2014, 87%of American adults were Internet users. In 1995 only 14% of American adults used theInternet.a. The sample survey showed that 90% of respondents said the Internet has been a goodthing for them personally. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion ofrespondents who say the Internet has been a good thing for them personally.
- International experience around the world is important in our culture of globalization. According to NAFSA, 54.5% of all American students traveling abroad went to Europe in the 2014-2015 academic year. To determine if there is shift in the proportion of students traveling to Europe, suppose a random sample of 300 students who had studied abroad was taken for the 2015-2016 school year. One-hundred sixty of the students traveled to Europe. a. Conduct a test to determine if the proportion of students traveling to Europe has changed. Be sure to provide a complete write-up. b. Based on the hypothesis test, would you expect 0.545 to be in confidence interval for the proportion? Explain without constructing the interval.Advertisers contract with Internet service providers and search engines to place ads on websites. They pay a fee based on the number of potential customers who click on their ad. Unfortunately, click fraud—the practice of someone clicking on an ad solely for the purpose of driving up advertising revenue—has become a problem. According to BusinessWeek, 42% of advertisers claim they have been a victim of click fraud. Suppose a simple random sample of 220 advertisers will be taken to learn more about how they are affected by this practice. Use z-table. a. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within +/- 0.05 of the population proportion experiencing click fraud? (to 4 decimals) b. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 0.45 ?(to 4 decimals)A real-estate appraiser wants to verify the market value for homes on the east side of the city that are very similar to size and style. The appraiser wants to test the popular belief that the average sales price is $37.80 per square foot for such homes. Suppose that a random sample of six sales were selected. The sampled sales prices per square foot are $35.00, $38.10, $37.20, $29.80, $30.30, and $35.40. Assuming a normal distribution is a good model for sales, test the claim that the mean sales price per square foot differs from $37.80 at the 1% significance level.
