b) Suppose that a South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) official wants to conduct a survey in Limpopo to estimate, with 95% confidence, a support for the premier's strategies on economy within 3% error. If the official has initial estimate that 70% of the people in Limpopo support the economic strategies of the premier. How many people should SABC survey?

At a particular university, 60 % of the students who apply for admission are in-state residents, 30 % are from other states, and the remaining applicants are international students. 35 % of in-state applicants are admitted, 25 % of applicants from other states are admitted, and 20 % of international applicants are admitted. 13) What percent of applicants are admitted?
The website Data USA stated that in 2016, Texas had the lowest number of adults with a serious mental illness with an average of M=3.26% of the population affected. The state of Texas wants to test if they have a significantly decreased number of mental illness patients compared with the states with the (n=8) highest level of mental illness found. In 2016 the following states had the highest level of adult patients with mental illness: Arkansas= 5.45%, Montana=5.34%, Vermont=5.32%, Oregon=5.19%, Utah=5.2%, Ohio=5.13, Kentucky=5.25% West Virginia=5.18%. The alpha level for the study was set to α=.05 for the criteria. a. State the hypotheses of the study. b. Find the critical t value for this study c. Compute the one-sample t test. (Again calculate sample SD or s - and get SEM before calculating t.) d. Compute the Cohen's d for the data (even if not significant) e. State the results - is the sample significantly higher? Do you reject the null hypothesis? Report the t test results in APA…
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 districts election results is now less than 70%. A pill is commissioned, and 154 out of random sample of 230 students at the college say they’re interested in their districts 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.
According to Inc.com, 71% of job seekers used social media in their job search in 2018. Many believe this number is inflated by the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search. A survey of 22- to 30 -year-old job seekers showed that 310 of the 370 respondents use social media in their job search. In addition, 275 of the 370 respondents indicated they have electronically submitted a resume to an employer.
The rabies vaccine for dogs can save your dog's life. If your dog bites another animal or is on the receiving end of a bite, the vaccine can protect them from a dangerous and potentially fatal illness. Furthermore, in most places, the rabies vaccine for dogs is legally required. The NYC Department of Health wants to know if LESS than 95% of the dogs in the city have been vaccinated with their rabies vaccine. 158,045 of the 165,000 dogs examined had their rabies shots. Risk no more than 5% Type I error. What kind of test will you need to perform? A A right, one-tailed z-test B A left, one-tailed z-test C A two-tailed z- test
Seven percent of those who invest in mutual funds consider corporate stocks to be “very safe”, 58% consider them “relatively safe”, 24% consider them “not very safe”, 4% consider them “not safe” and 7% "They are not safe at all." Business / Week / Harris asked 550 mutual fund investors how they would rate corporate bonds for safety. The answers were the following Seguridad Frecuencia Very safe 62 Relatively safe 323 Not very safe 76 Not safe 26 Not safe at all 63 Does the attitude of mutual fund investors differ from corporate bonds from their attitude to corporate stocks? Support your conclusion by giving a statistical test. Use α = 0.01. For this problem you must present: -Hypothesis-Result of the expected values, residuals and the calculation of the test statistic.-Analysis of the results in the chi square test and its conclusion in applied terms of the problem
The GfK Custom Research Organization conducted identical surveys five years apart. One question asked women: “Are most men basically kind, gentle, and thoughtful"? The earlier survey revealed that, of the 3550 women surveyed, 2350 said that they were. In the later survey, 2250 of the 3550 women surveyed thought that men were kind, gentle, and thoughtful. Can we conclude that women think men are less kind, gentle, and thoughtful in the later survey compared with the earlier one? Use 0.01 significance level. Calculate and interpret the p-value. a. State the decision rule. (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.) The decision rule is to reject Ho if z is less than b. Compute the pooled proportion. (Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.) The pooled proportion is: c. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.) The test statistic is:…
