Among students at a nearby college, the proportion who say they're interested in their congressional district's election results has traditionally been 70%. After a series of lackluster debates on campus, a political scientist claims that the proportion, p, of students at the college who say they're Interested in their district's election results is now less than 70%. A poll is commissioned, and 126 out of a random sample of 205 students at the college say they're interested in their district's election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H,. H :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. D-0 OSO (Choose one) ▼ (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) O

In June 2012 the Gallup organization conducted a pollusing a random sample of 1004 adults, aged 18 and older,living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.When asked, “On the whole, do you think immigrationis a good thing or a bad thing for this country?” 66%responded “a good thing.” The news report adds, “Forresults based on the total sample of national adults, onecan say with 95% confidence that the maximum marginof sampling error is {4 percentage points.” Source: http://www.gallup.com/poll/155210/Americans-Positive-Immigration.aspx Based on this report, we can conclude that:A) The percentage of all adult Americans who thinkthat immigration is a good thing for this country isbetween 62% and 70%.B) There’s a 5% chance that the proportion of all adultswho think immigration is a good thing is not between62% and 70%C) In only 5% of all samples like this would the resultsdiffer by more than 4% from the proportion of alladults who think immigration is a good thing.D) In 95% of…
When choosing an item from a group, researchers have shown that an important factor influencing choice is the item's location. This occurs in varied situations such as shelf positions when shopping, filling out a questionnaire, and even when choosing a preferred candidate during a presidential debate. In this experiment, five identical pairs of white socks were displayed by attaching them vertically to a blue background that was then mounted on an easel for viewing. One hundred participants from the University of Chester were used as subjects and asked to choose their preferred pairs of socks. In choice situations of this type, subjects often exhibit the "center stage effect," which is a tendency to choose the item in the center. In this experiment, 34 subjects chose the pair of socks in the center. Are these data evidence of the "center stage effect"? STATE: Are the students choosing pairs of socks randomly? If the students were choosing socks at random, what would be the chance, ?0,…
In 2003 and 2017 a poll asked Democratic voters about their views on the FBI. In 2003, 45% thought the FBI did a good or excellent job. In 2017, 74% of Democratic voters felt this way. Assume these percentages are based on samples of 1300 Democratic voters. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Can we conclude, on the basis of these two percentages alone, that the proportion of Democratic voters who think the FBI is doing a good or excellent job has increased from 2003 to 2017? Why or why not? A. No. Although a lesser percentage is present in the sample, the population percentages could be the same or even reversed. B. No. Although a lesser percentage is present in the sample, the population percentages could be the same, but could not be reversed. C. No. Since a greater percentage is present in the sample, we cannot conclude that a lesser percentage of Democratic voters who think the FBI is doing a good or excellent job is present in the population. D. Yes. Since a lesser…
The proportion of commuters on PSU – Berks campus is purported to be 65%. A professor believes this to be inaccurate. He randomly selects 300 students on campus and determines 200 of them to be commuters. Can the professor reject the campus claim of 65%?
A study considered the question, "Are you a registered voter?" Accuracy of response was confirmed by a check of city voting records. Two methods of survey were used: a face-to-face interview and a telephone interview. A random sample of 91 people were asked the voter registration question face to face. Of those sampled, seventy respondents gave accurate answers (as verified by city records). Another random sample of 95 people were asked the same question during a telephone interview. Of those sampled, seventy-three respondents gave accurate answers. Assume the samples are representative of the general population. (a) Categorize the problem below according to parameter being estimated, proportion p, mean μ, difference of means μ1 – μ2, or difference of proportions p1 – p2. Then solve the problem. pμ1 – μ2 μp1 – p2 (b) Let p1 be the population proportion of all people who answer the voter registration question accurately during a face-to-face interview. Let p2 be the population…
In a survey, 1000 adults were asked whether they favored an increase in the state income tax if the additional revenues went to education. In addition it was noted whether the person lived in a city, suburb, or rural part of the state. Do the results indicate that the place of residence and the opinion about tax increase are independent?
A poll tracks the favorite sport of Americans who follow at least one sport. Results of the poll show that professional football is the favorite sport of 33% of Americans who follow at least one sport, followed by baseball at 15%, men's college football at 10%, auto racing at 6%, men's professional basketball at 5%, and ice hockey at 5%, with other sport at 26%. Consider a survey in which 344 college undergraduates who follow at least one sport were asked to identify their favorite sport produced the following results: Professional Football 113 Baseball 38 Men's College Football 47 Auto Racing 12 Men's Professional Basketball 8 Ice Other Hockey Sports Find the p-value.

A CBS News/New York Times opinion poll asked 1050 adults whether they would prefer balancing the federal budget over cutting taxes; 602 of those asked said "Yes." The poll was carried out by telephone, so people without phones are always excluded from the sample. Any errors in the final result due to excluding people without phones are in addition to the announced margin of error. O are included in the announced margin of error. 4 can be ignored, because these people are not part of the population. O can be ignored, because this is a nonsampling error.
As chairperson of the Rogers County Task Force on Aging, you wish to estimate the proportion of senior citizens in the region who would use a mobile medical check-up program if such a service was implemented. A random sample of 44 senior citizens was polled and it was found that 22 would use such a service. a. Let p represent the proportion of all senior citizens in the region who would utilize the mobile medical check-up program. Find a point estimate for p. (Round result to 3 decimal places.) b. Find a 95% confidence interval for p. (Round results to 3 decimal places.) ? ♥ < c. The Rogers County Director tasks you with doing a larger study, to develop a more precise estimate.

According to the Pew Research Center, the proportion of the American population who use only a cellular telephone (no landline) is 0.37. Jason conducts a survey of thirty 20- to 24-year-olds who live on their own and finds that 16 do not have a landline to their home. Does this provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of 20- to 24-year-olds who live on their own and don’t have a landline is greater than 0.37? Use an a=0.10 level of significance.
