Bullying Bullying is a problem at any age but especially for students aged 12 to 18. A study showed that 7.2% of all students in this age bracket reported being bullied at school during the past six months with 6 grade having the highest incidence at 13.9% and 12" grade the lowest at 2.2%. To see if there is a difference between public and private schools, 222 students were randomly selected from each. At the 0.05 level of significance, can a difference be concluded? Private Public Sample size 222 222 Number bullied 24 11 Use p, for the proportion of private school students who have been bullied.

A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 300 people over the age of 55,80 dream in black and white, and among 287 people under the age of 25, 14 dreams in black and white. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. An explanation for the results is that those over the age of 55 grew up exposed to media that was displayed in black and white. Can these results be used to verify that explanation?

A credit score is used by credit agencies (such as mortgage companies and banks) to assess the creditworthiness of individuals. Values range from 300 to 850, with a credit score over 700 considered to be a quality credit risk. According to a survey, the mean credit score is 704.5. A credit analyst wondered whether high-income individuals (incomes in excess of $100,000 per year) had higher credit scores. He obtained a random sample of 36 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 714.9 with a standard deviation of 81.7. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high-income individuals have higher credit scores at the a = 0.05 level of significance. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

A random sample of 1100 potential voters was randomly divided into 2 groups. Group 1: 500 potential voters; no registration reminders sent; 248 registered to vote Group 2: 600 potential voters; registration reminders sent; 332 registered to vote Do these data support the claim that the proportion of voters who registered was greater in the group that received reminders than in the group that did not? Use a 1% level of significance.

Primary seat belt laws allow police to stop a motorist for not wearing a seat belt. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the percentage of drivers wearing seat belts in the Limpopo province was 68.5% in 2017 and 72% in 2018. Assume that these percentages are based on random samples of 1000 drivers in 2017 and 1050 in 2018. Suppose you must test at 5% level of significance whether the proportion of all drivers in Limpopo province who used seat belts in 2017 is lower than that for 2018. 1 Questions I) Determine the alternative hypothesis to be tested: II) Determine the value of test statistic: III) Determine the p-value for this problem: IV) the conclusion Since Z=-1.734 is greater than Z subscript 0.05 end subscript equals negative 1.645, we then reject the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance and conclude that the proportion of all drivers in Limpopo province who used seat belts in 2017 is lower than that for 2018. b) Since Z=-1.734 is less…
