Directions: Formulate the null and alternative hypothesis, identify the level of significance, illustrate if CLT can be used and illustrate the rejection region. A sample poll of 300 voters from Town A showed that 56% were in favor of a given candidate. Test the hypothesis with 99% level of confidence.

A plumber was interested in determining whether there is a significant difference in the price charged for plumbing tools by two hardware stores. The plumber selected five tools and recorded the price for each tool in each store.

Include both the rejection region and the p-value.
A hypothesis test is conducted to determine whether the percentage of US adults that think marijuana should be illegal is less than 40%.

Last year, 46% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners indicated that 40% plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 60 business owners. Suppose the business owners in the sample do as they plan. Compute the p value for a hypothesis test that can be used to determine if the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts has decreased from last year. If required, round your answer to four decimal places. If your answer is zero, enter “0”. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
According to a report done last year by the dental industry, 81% of dentists would recommend Starry Whites toothpaste. After some recent negative publicity, the sales team at Starry Whites suspects the proportion of dentists who now recommend the brand is lower. The team chooses 150 dentists at random and asks them whether they'd recommend the brand. Of those, 118 say they'd recommend it. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.10 level of significance, to conclude that the proportion, p, of all dentists who now recommend this brand is less than 81%. (a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H, that you would use for the test. ( Ho: Aa O 10 under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true.) Here n is the sample size and p is the population proportion you are testing.
A clothing designer creates a unisex outfit and wants to be 95% certain that it’ll fit both men and women; it was designed to fit an individual of 65 inches height. An assistant gathers the heights of random men and women walking down the street (see the attached data). Using the data, determine if the outfit will fit both men and women with 95% confidence. Need a hypothesis test included.

While her husband spent 2½ hours picking out new speakers, a statistician decided to determine whether the percent of men who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment is higher than the percent of women who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment. The population was Saturday afternoon shoppers. Out of 68 men, 24 said they enjoyed the activity. Eight of the 23 women surveyed claimed to enjoy the activity. Interpret the results of the survey. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. Let the subscript m= men and w= women. What is the test statistic? (If using the distribution round your answer to two decimal places, and if using the t distribution round your answer to three decimal places.) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Sketch a picture of this situation. Label and scale the horizontal axis and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value. i. ii. iii.
