For Americans using library services, the American Library Association claims that at most 70% of patrons borrow books. The library director in Owensboro, Kentucky feels this is not true, so she asked a local college statistic class to conduct a survey. The class randomly selected 100 patrons and found that 85 borrowed books. Did the class demonstrate that the percentage was higher in Owensboro, KY? Use a = 0.01 level of significance. What is the possible proportion of patrons that do borrow books from the Owensboro Library?

In the Star and Tribune newspaper, there is an article entitled “1 in 8 school buses fail tests." The article says that the overall statewide proportion of school buses that fail safety tests is 9%. However, one bus companyhas a higher rate of over 12%. Assume that we want a new estimate for the statewide proportion of school buses that fail the safety inspection. We take a sample of 200 buses and find that 20 buses fail the safety inspection. What is the sample proportion of buses that fail the test? (Enter your answer as a decimal fraction between 0 and 1, e.g. .27)

A national vital statistics report indicated that 3% of all births produced twins. Researchers are curious about the proportion of twin births among teenage mothers. A large hospital reported a sample of 469 births from teenage mothers found 7 sets of twins. Is the proportion of twin births among teenage mothers different from the overall figure?

I. Background The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tries to find out whether there is a relation between the number of years people smoked and the percentage of lung damage. FDA asks you for your help to find it out. You interviewed twenty people who have smoked and obtained the following data. II. Technical report: d) Choose your own significance level a (1 suggests 0.1, 0.05 or 0.01). State and test the hypothesis. Explain what your findings mean. e) Do your observations in part (b) agree to the results from part (c) and (d)? Explain f) Find the regression line equation. Explain what the line implies. g) Draw the regression line on your scatter plot. h) A man has smoked 13 years. predict the percentage for damage on his lung.

A middle school wanted to examine if students' sense of school belongingness increased after participating in a two-week after-school program. Thirty students were selected to participate in the after-school program. Prior to completing the program, students completed a measure of school belonging. At the end of the two-week program, students completed another measure of school belongingness. Students' scores before and after the program were then compared. What is the IV? O 30 participants (before and after) the two-week after-school program School belongingness O the middle school
A recent article published by the Wall Street Journal said the Cincinnati airport had the most expensive airfares among the largest airports in the US. While they had some statistics to support this statement, a statistician decided to investigate further. A sample of 46 flights originating in Cincinnati was selected, and the round-trip airfare for each flight was recorded. The sample data is summarized in the StatCrunch output below: Summary statistics: Column n Mean Median Std. dev.

In the Star and Tribune newspaper, there is an article entitled "1 in 8 school buses fail tests." The article says that the overall statewide proportion of school buses that fail safety tests is 9%. However, one bus company has a higher rate of over 12%. Assume that we want a new estimate for the statewide proportion of school buses that fail the safety inspection. We take a sample of 500 buses and find that 90 buses fail the safety inspection. Based on the new sample data, I construct this 90% confidence interval estimate for p: 152 < p < .208. Explain what this confidence interval means. O I am 90% sure that the number of buses that fail the inspection is between.152 and .208. O I am 95% sure that the true proportion of buses that fail the inspection is between .152 and .208. O I am 90% sure that the proportion of buses in this sample that fail the inspection is between .152 and .208. O I am 90% sure that the true proportion of buses that fail the inspection is between .152 and .208.
Are American men or women more into online dating? Researchers from a pop culture magazine conducted a study to see if there is a difference in the proportion of men and women under 30 that use online dating sites. They collected independent random samples of 96 women and 88 men, ranging from 18-30 years old, from across the US. Of the women, 67 reported using online dating sites, while 62 of the men reported using online dating sites. Assume the subjects responded honestly. What would be the test statistic and P-value for performing a hypothesis test Ho : P1 = P2 vs. HA : P1 + P2 ? Select one: O a. z =-0.098 ; P-value = 0.9204 O b. z =-1.13 ; P-value = 0.1292 O c. z =-3.77 ; P-value is approximately 0 O d. z =-0.098 ; P-value = 0.4602 O e. z =-1.13 ; P-value = 0.2594 Clear my choice
