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.

According to a Pew Research Center study, in May 2011, 33% of all American adults had a smart phone (one which the user can use to read email and surf the Internet). A communications professor at a university believes this percentage is higher among community college students. She selects 320 community college students at random and finds that 135 of them have a smart phone. In testing the hypotheses: Ho: p = 0.33 versus Ha: p > 0.33 Do the hypothesis test. Use a level of significance of a = 0.05; Use the unrounded values in Excel to find the answers for #3 and #4. 1. This is an example of a hypothesis test. 2. Find the standard error. 3. Find the z value. 4. Find the p-value. 5. The communication professor should the null hypothesis.
A random sample of n1 = 157 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and 12 were found to be high school dropouts. Another random sample of n2 = 129 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and 6 were found to be high school dropouts. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of high school dropouts on Oahu is different (either way) from that of Sweetwater County? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p1 − p2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 77%. After making some recent changes, the marriage counselor now claims that her program can prevent divorce in more than 77% of married couples. In a random sample of 250 married couples who completed her program, 194 of them stayed together. Based on this sample, is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor's claim at the 0.10 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

one- Oishi and Schimmack (2010) report that people who move from home to home frequently as children tend to have lower than average levels of well-being as adults. To further examine this relationship, a psychol- ogist obtains a sample of n = 12 young adults who each experienced 5 or more different homes before they were 16 years old.

The manufacturer of a new racecar engine claims that the proportion of engine failures due to overheating for this new engine, (p1), will be no higher than the proportion of engine failures due to overheating of the old engines, (p2). To test this statement, NASCAR took a random sample of 115 of the new racecar engines and 120 of the old engines. They found that 12 of the new racecar engines and 9 of the old engines failed due to overheating during the test. Does NASCAR have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim about the new racecar engine? Use a significance level of α=0.1 for the test. Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Step 2 of 6 : Find the values of the two sample proportions, pˆ1p^1 and pˆ2p^2. Round your answers to three decimal places. Step 3 of 6 : Compute the weighted estimate of p, p‾p‾. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 4 of 6 : Compute the value of the test…
