60% of students entering four-year colleges receive a degree within six years. Is this percent smaller than for students who play intramural sports? 130 of the 241 students who played intramural sports received a degree within six years. What can be concluded at the level of significance of a = 0.01? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b.

(please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e. The p-value is ? va f. Based on this, we should Select an answer v the null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusiion is that .. The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly smaller than 60% at a = 0.01, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of students who played intramural sports who received…

Normally only about 19% of people who try to quit smoking succeed, but sellers of a motivational tape claim that listening to their recorded messages can help people quit (i.e., more than 19% of the people who use the tapes will successfully quit). Let p represents the percentage of people who have listened to the recorded messages and have successfully quit. Match the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, based on the sellers' claim. H,: p = 0.19 p> 0.19 p2 0.19 ps 0.19 p 0.19 p2 0.19 ps 0.19 p < 0.19 Op- 0.19 Do you consider a Type I or Type Il error a more serious mistake here? Why?
