Among a simple random sample of 325 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in school, 45% aid they decided not to go to college because they could not afford school. a) A newspaper article states that only a minority of the Americans who decide not to go to college do so because they cannot afford it and uses t point estimate from this survey as evidence. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence supporting this statemen Use a significance level of a = 0.04. Ho : prop = HA : prop < -value: Based on this information, we may Reject the Null Hypothesis b) Calculate a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who decided not to go to college because they could not afford school.

The article "Freedom of What?" (Associated Press, February 1, 2005) described a study in which high school students and high school teachers were asked whether they agreed with the following statement: "Students should be allowed to report controversial issues in their student newspapers without the approval of school authorities." Researchers hypothesized that the long-run proportion of high school teachers who would agree with the statement would differ from the long-run proportion of high school students who would agree. Two random samples - 8,000 high school teachers and 10,000 high school students were selected from high schools in the U.S. It was reported that 39% of the teachers surveyed and 58% of the students surveyed agreed with the statement. A simulated null distribution of 1,000 differences in proportions created by using the Two Proportion applet is shown below.

Past studies have indicated that the percentage of smokers was estimated to be about 32%. Given the new smoking cessation programs that have been implemented, you now believe that the percentage of smokers has reduced. You randomly surveyed 1836 people and found that 552 smoke. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of smokers has reduced.a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses?H0H0: H1H1: b) What type of hypothesis test should you conduct (left-, right-, or two-tailed)? left-tailed right-tailed two-tailed c) Identify the appropriate significance level.d) Calculate your test statistic. Write the result below, and be sure to round your final answer to two decimal places.e) Calculate your p-value. Write the result below, and be sure to round your final answer to four decimal places.f) Do you reject the null hypothesis? We reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is less than the significance level. We reject the…
A rescue claims that 30% of u.s. households have a dog. In a random sample of 210 u.s. households, 35% say they own a dog. Is there enough evidence to show the percentage has increased? Identify the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis. A) H0: p=0.35 vs Ha:p<0.35 B) H0: p=0.30 vs Ha:p>0.30 C) H0: p=0.30 vs Ha: p<0.30 D) H0: p=0.35 vs Ha:p>0.35
Country Magazine reports that celebrity MySpace accounts have an average of 4 million friends. Celebologist Chuck Norris thinks that it's actually different than that. Norris randomly samples 43 celebrities on MySpace and finds an average of 3 million friends. Which is the best set of hypotheses to test Chuck Norris's claim?
If Miller (2008) wanted to know if males consume significantly more energy drinks than the overall population average, which of the following are the correct hypotheses?
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.
The Knight Foundation investigates whether high school students agreed with the statement that people should be allowed to burn or deface the American flag as a political statement. This question was asked in a survey of a representative sample of high school students in 2004 and also in a survey of a representative sample of high school students in 2014. Suppose that the sample size was 1000 in each of the two years. Data consistent with summary values given in the paper are summarized in the accompanying table. Is there convincing evidence that the proportions falling into each of the response categories were not the same for high school students in 2004 and 2014?
Suppose that a report indicates that 28% of Canadian homeowners have experienced difficulty in making mortgage payments. Further suppose that a news organization randomly sampled 400 Canadian homeowners from 10 cities and found that 95 reported such difficulty. Does this indicate that the problem is less severe among homeowners in these cities? Assuming that p represents the proportion of homeowners in these 10 cities that experience difficulty in making mortgage payments, the correct null and alternative hypotheses to investigate this question is, Ho:p = 0.28 and HA :p> 0.28. O Ho:p = 0.28 and HA :P# 0.28. O Ho:p#0.28 and HA :p = 0.28. Ho:p = 0.28 and HA :p < 0.28.
Indicate whether CPAs in states that have flat state income tax rates work fewer hours per week during tax season compared to the US average. You will want to formally set up H0 and Ha, report either the test statistic (z-value) or p-value, and explain why you either reject or fail to reject your null hypothesis.

A national research group reported that 36% of 18-24 year olds watch a cable news channel regularly. The director of media relations at a large university wanted to know what proportion of students at her university who watch a cable news channel regularly. If it is less than 36%, then she will unsubscribe to the news channels. She sampled 200 random students and found that 63 watched cable news regularly. Should she conclude that proportion of students at her university who watch cable news regularly is less than 36% at the 8% significance level? In the context of this problem and your conclusion, what type of error is possible? In the context of this problem, what would the error be? In the context of this problem, what would be a possible consequence of this error?
