For a certain year, a study reports that the percentage of college students using credit cards was 87%. A college dean of student services feels that this is too high for her university, so she randomly selects 225 students and finds that 190 of them use credit cards. At the .01 significance level, is she correct about her university?

According to the Humane Society, 33% of households in the United States own at least one cat. You are interested in determining whether the proportion of households of the students at your school that own at least one cat is different from the national proportion. Suppose you survey an SRS of students at your school and find that 25% of them own cats, which yields a p-value of .092. Interpret this p-value.
Past studies have indicated that the percentage of smokers was estimated to be about 34%. Given the new smoking cessation programs that have been implemented, you now believe that the percentage of smokers has reduced. You randomly surveyed 1783 people and found that 553 smoke. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of smokers has reduced.
A recent article in the Journal of Urban Chicken Farmers reported the fraction of chickens that experience severe, moderate, or minor side effects from a new diet are 0.07, 0.15, and 0.78 respectively. Assuming that chickens respond independently, if 18 chickens were tested on the new diet, what is the: 3. a. Mean number of chickens that will suffer severe side effects? b. Variance in the number of chickens that will suffer severe side effects? C.Conditional mean of the number of chickens that suffer severe side effects given that 17 suffer minor side effects.
The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics complies birth statistics and publishes the results in vital statistics of the United States. The Center has historically believed that the mean of all newborns in the U.S. has been no less than 6.95 pounds. A sample of babies is selected so that the center can revise its belief. The following birth weights, in pounds are recorded: 7.4, 6.0, 8.6, 4.5, 2.0, 7.9, 4.0, 2.6, 5.9, 7.3, 7.3, 7.0, 6.3, 8.1, 7.1, 7.3, 6.6, 5.2, 9.8, 8.0, 10.9, 6.5, 3.8, 5.0, 8.0 a). At 5% level of significance, do these data provide sufficient evidence to refute the Center’s belief? Your conclusion must be in terms of the P-Value as well as setting up a Rejection Region. You must show all necessary work. b). Which statistical distribution should be applied in this situation and why? Explain carefully.
Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?
Several studies showed that after eating a low-fat cereal for two meals a day, subjects had lost some weight.A cereal companyfinanced this research. Identify what is wrong. Choose the correct answer below. A. Since the research is composed of voluntary response samples, there may be key data points missing. B. The data used in the studies is not reliable because it was not measured by the administrator. C. It is questionable that the sponsor is a cereal company because this sponsor can be greatly affected by the conclusion. D. It is not possible to take accurate measurements.
Hospitals In a study of births in New York State, data were collected from four hospitals coded as follows: (1) Albany Medical Center; (1438) Bellevue Hospital Center; (66) Olean General Hospital; (413) Strong Memorial Hospital.
