Data collected by a behavioral risk factor surveillance group revealed that in a state, 27.9% of whites and 47.9% of blacks were cigarette smokers. Suppose these proportions were based on samples of 3584 whites and 486 blacks. a) Create a 95% confidence interval for this difference. b) Does this survey indicate a race-based difference in smoking among American adults? Explain, using your confidence interval to test an appropriate hypothesis. c) What alpha level did your test use? a) Let p, be the sample proportion of whites who were cigarette smokers and p be the sample proportion of blacks who were cigarette smokers. Create a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two proportions, P, -P2- (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) b) State the hypotheses for the test. Ho HA (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) State the conclusion. Since the interval 0, V the null hypothesis. This study evidence of a race-based difference in smoking among American adults. c) a= (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

University personnel are concerned about the sleeping habits of students and the negative impact on academic performance. In a random sample of 377 U.S. college students, 209 students reported experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that more than half of U.S. college students experience EDS? Use a 5% level of significance STATE: What is a 90% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of all of U.S. college students who experience excessive daytime sleepiness? PLAN: State the name of the appropriate estimation procedure (e.g. one-sample t confidence interval for estimating the mean difference) Note: You have already described the parameter being estimated in Part A, so you don't have to repeat it here.

A Bloomberg Businessweek subscriber study asked, "In the past 12 months, when traveling for business, what type of airline ticket did you purchase most often?" A second question asked if the type of flight was domestic or international travel. Sample data obtained are shown in the following table. Type of Flight Type of Ticket Domestic International First Class 26 21 Business Class 99 123 Economy Class 515 137 a. Using a 0.05 level of significance, is the type of ticket purchased independent of the type of flight? Ho: Type of ticket purchased is independent of the type of flight H.: Type of ticket purchased is not independent of the type of flight v Compute the value of the x test statistic (to 2 decimals).
