Elliot read a report from a previous year saying that 6% of adults in his city biked to work. He wanted to test - whether this had changed, so he took a random sample of 240 adults in his city to test Ho : p = 0.06 versus Ha: p + 0.06, where p is the proportion of adults in Elliot's city that bike to work. The sample results showed 24 adults who biked to work. Assuming that the conditions for inference have been met, identify the correct test statistic for Elliot's significance test.

A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 76%. After making some recent changes, the marriage counselor now claims that her program can prevent divorce in more than 76% of married couples. In a random sample of 205 married couples who completed her program, 171 of them stayed together. Based on this sample, is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance?Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

A law enforcement agent believes that 80% of the drivers stopped on Saturday nights for speeding are under the influence of alcohol. Suspecting that the proportion under the influence may be higher than 80%, a SRS of 140 drivers who were stopped for speeding on a Saturday night was taken. 119 of the drivers in the sample were under the influence of alcohol. The correct set of hypotheses is Group of answer choices Ho: p = 0.80 vs Ha: p = 0.85 Ho: p = 0.80 vs Ha: p > 0.80

In a random sample of 320 cars driven at low altitude, 40 of them exceeded the standard 10 grams of particulate pollution per gallon of fuel consumed. In another independent random sample of 80 cars driven at high altitude, 20 of them exceeded the standard. Let P 1be the true proportion of cars that exceed the standard in low altitudes and P 2be the true proportion of cars that exceed the standard in high altitudes. What is the test statistic for testing this hypothesis.
