Among students at a nearby college, the proportion who say they’re interested in their congressional district’s election results has traditionally been 70%. After a series of lackluster debates on campus, a political scientist claims that the proportion, p, of students at the college who say they’re interested in their districts election results is now less than 70%. A pill is commissioned, and 154 out of random sample of 230 students at the college say they’re interested in their districts election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.

The averrage gasoline prrice at Chevvron was $3.12 per gallon lastt month. Due to the recent nation-wide gas price drop, the chiief marketing officer of Chevvron believes that there has been a significant reduction in the average gas pricce. In orrder to test hiis belief, he randdomly selected a sample of 36 of Chevvron gas stations and found the average gas price of these stations was $3.06. Assume that the population standard deviation of the population is $0.12, and the significance level (α) is 5%. A. Formmullate the null and the alternative hypotheses: Null: mu ≤ 3.06; Alternative: mu > 3.06 Null: mu = 3.06; Alternative: mu ≠ 3.06 Null: mu ≥ 3.12; Alternative: mu < 3.12 Null: mu = 3.12; Alternative: mu ≠ 3.12 Null: mu ≤ 3.12; Alternative: mu > 3.12 Null: mu ≥ 3.06; Alternative: mu < 3.06 B.

3. At a factory that produces doorknobs, a batch of 1500 doorknobs has just been produced. To check the quality of the doorknobs, a random sample of 100 doorknobs is selected to test for defects. Out of these 100 doorknobs, 2 were found to be defective. Based on these results, what is the best estimate you can give for the number of defective doorknobs in the batch of 1500? Solve this problem in two different ways, explaining your reasoning in each case. just been

2) The rabies vaccine for dogs can save your dog's life. If your dog bites another animal or is on the receiving end of a bite, the vaccine can protect them from a dangerous and potentially fatal illness. Furthermore, in most places, the rabies vaccine for dogs is legally required. The NYC Department of Health wants to know if LESS than 95% of the dogs in the city have been vaccinated with their rabies vaccine. 158,045 of the 165,000 dogs examined had their rabies shots.
