es/CBS News poll sampled 523 adults who were planning a vacation during the next six months and found that 141 were expecting to travel by airplane. A similar survey question in a May 2005 New York Times/CBS News poll found that of 477 adults who were planning a vacation in the next six months, 81 were expecting to travel by airplane. Let 2015 be population 1. State the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether a significant change occurred in the population proportion planning to travel by airplane over the 10-year period. Let 0.01 be the level of significance.

Chick-fil-A gets it right. Which fast-food chain fills orders most accurately at the drive-thru window? The Quick Servcie Restaurant magazine drive-thru study involved a total of 7594 visits to restaurants in the 25 largest fast-food chains in all 50 states. All visits occured during the lunch hours of 11:00 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. or during the dinner hours of 4:00 to 7:00 P.M. During each visit, the researcher ordered a maint item, a side item, and a drink. One item was left off of each order; for example, a field researcher could order a burger with no pickles. After recieving the order, all the food and drink items were checked for accuracy. ANy food or drink item recieved that was not exactly as ordered resulted in the order being classified as inaccurate. Also included the measurement of accuracy were condiments asked for, napkins, straws, and correct change. Any errors in these resulted in the order being classified as inaccurate. Chick-fil-A had the fewest inaccuracies, with only 14…
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey in 2019 it was found that 33.13%of United States residents over the age of 25 had an educational attainment of a bachelor’sdegree or higher. In the District of Columbia, the percentage of residents over the age of 25 whohad attained a bachelor’s degree or higher was 59.67%. An investigator for the U.S. CensusBureau took a random sample of seven residents from the District of Columbia and asked themtheir highest educational degree they had obtained. a) Verify that the sample from the District of Columbia satisfies the conditions of thebinomial experiment. Write one sentence to check each requirement in context of theinvestigation.b) Assuming the sample from the District of Columbia is a binomial experiment, build theprobability distribution in a single table and include the table in your solutions. You maypresent this table horizontally or vertically and leave the probabilities unrounded. Thereare two possible ways to do this: To…
It is believed that 11% of all Americans are left-handed. A college needs to know how many left-handed desks to place in the big lecture halls being constructed on its campus. In a random sample of 340 students from that college, whether or not a student was left-handed was recorded for each student. The college wants to know if the data provide enough evidence to show that students at this college have a different percentage of left- handers than the general American population? State the random variable, population parameter, and hypotheses. State the Type I and Type II errors in the context of this problem. a) The symbol for the random variable involved in this problem is ? ✓ The wording for the random variable in context is as follows: Select an answer b) The symbol for the parameter involved in this problem is The wording for the parameter in context is as follows: Select an answer c) Fill in the correct null and alternative hypotheses: Ho?? ✓ HA: ? ✓ ? ✓ d) A Type I error in the…
There are over 3 million students enrolled in community colleges in the U.S. A total of 443,818 students at 699 community colleges completed the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) between 2009 and 2011. About half (50%) of students reported that they “often” or “very often” prepare two or more drafts of a paper before turning it in. True or false? The 50% is a statistic representing a sample of 443,818 community college students. True False

In June 2015, Gallup conducted a poll of a random sample of 14,683 adults to determine the well-being of people living in the United States. One question asked, "Did you exercise at least 30 minutes for 3 or more days in the past week?" In the survey, 58.9% of males and 52.7% of females responded yes to this question. Which of the following is true about this scenario? A. O 58.9% and 52.7% are both parameters. B. O 58.9% and 52.7% are both statistics. C. If we took another random sample of 14,683 adults, we would expect to get the exact same results.
A research group conducted an extensive survey of 2958 wage and salaried workers on issues ranging from relationships with their bosses to household chores. The data were gathered through hour-long telephone interviews with a nationally representative sample. In response to the question, "What does success mean to you?" 1467 responded, "Personal satisfaction from doing a good job." Let p be the population proportion of all wage and salaried workers who would respond the same way to the stated question. How large a sample is needed f we wish to be 95% confident that the sample percentage of those equating success with personal satisfaction is within 2.6% of the population percentage? (Hint: Use p≈ 0.50 as a preliminary estimate. Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) USE SALT workers
The Knight Foundation investigates whether high school students agreed with the statement that people should be allowed to burn or deface the American flag as a political statement. This question was asked in a survey of a representative sample of high school students in 2004 and also in a survey of a representative sample of high school students in 2014. Suppose that the sample size was 1000 in each of the two years. Data consistent with summary values given in the paper are summarized in the accompanying table. Is there convincing evidence that the proportions falling into each of the response categories were not the same for high school students in 2004 and 2014?

Although an increasing share of Americans are reading e-books on tablets and smartphones rather than dedicated e-readers, print books continue to be much more popular than books in digital format (digital format includes both e-books and audio books). A Pew Research Center survey of 1502 adults nationwide conducted January 8-February 7, 2019, found that 1081 of those surveyed had read a book in either print or digital format in the preceding 12 months. (You may regard the 1081 adults in the survey who had read a book in the preceding 12 months as a random sample of readers.) Andrew Perrin, "One-in-five Americans now listen to audiobooks," September 25, 2019 at www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/09/25/one-in-five-americans- now-listen-to-audiobooks/. The sampling scheme was more complex than an SRS, so the computation of the number in the sample who have read in the preceding 12 months and acting as if it were an SRS is oversimplified Macmillan Learning STATE: What can you say with 95%…
A poll asked 946 adults "If purchasing a used car made certain upgrades or features more affordable, what would be your preferred luxury upgrade? The results indicated that 8% of the males and 17% of the females answered window tinting. The poll description did not state the sample sizes of males and females. Suppose that both sample sizes were 473 and that 40 of 473 males and 80 of 473 females reported window tinting as their preferred luxury upgrade of choice. a. Is there evidence of a difference between males and females in the proportion who said they prefer window tinting as a luxury upgrade at the 0.01 level of significance? Let group 1 be the males, and let group 2 be the females. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. A. H0: π1≥π2 H1: π1<π2 B. H0: π1≤π2 H1: π1>π2 C.
