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 93 people were asked the voter registration question face-to-face. Seventy-nine respondents gave accurate answers. Another random sample of 83 people was asked the same question during a telephone interview. Seventy-four respondents gave accurate answers. Assume that the samples are representative of the general population. Test the claim that there is a difference in the proportion of accurate responses from face-to-face compared with telephone interviews. Use alpha=.05 What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis? What distribution are you using? What test are you running? What is your conclusion?

A fitness course claims that it can improve an individual's physical ability. To test the effect of a physical fitness course on one's physical ability, the number of sit-ups that a person could do in one minute, both before and after the course, was recorded. Ten individuals are randomly selected to participate in the course. The results are displayed in the following table. Can it be concluded, from the data, that participation in the physical fitness course resulted in significant improvement? Let d=(number of sit-ups that can be done after taking the course)−(number of sit-ups that can be done prior to taking the course)d=(number of sit-ups that can be done after taking the course)−(number of sit-ups that can be done prior to taking the course). Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test. Assume that the numbers of sit-ups are normally distributed for the population both before and after taking the fitness course.

A study by Consumer Reports showed that 64% of supermarket shoppers believe supermarket brands to be as good as national name brands. To investigate whether this result applies to its own product, the manufacturer of a national name-brand ketchup asked a sample of shoppers whether they belleved that supermarket ketchup was as good as the national brand ketchup. a. Formulate the hypotheses that could be used to determine whether the percentage of supermarket shoppers who believe that the supermarket ketchup was as good as the national brand ketchup differed from 645%. He: p- Select your answer Select your answer b. If a sample of 100 shoppers showed 54 stating that the supermarket brand was as good as the national brand, what is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? c. At a=0.05, what is your conclusion? P-valueSelect your answer Ho d. Should the national brand ketchup manufacturer be pleased with this conclusion? Select your answer
