Guilty Verdicts in Court Cases A reporter on cnn.com stated in July 2010 that 95% of all court cases that go to trial result in a guilty verdict. To test the accuracy of this claim, we collect a random sample of 2000 court cases that went to trial and record the proportion that resulted in a guilty verdict. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Random digit dialing telephone surveys used to exclude cell phone numbers. If the opinions of people who have only cell phones differ from those of people who have landline service, the poll results may not represent the entire adult population. The Pew Research Center interviewed separate random samples of cell-only and landline telephone users who were less than 30 years old. Here’s what the Pew survey found about how these people describe their political party affiliation. What are the degrees of freedom?

tab A study showed that 62% of supermarket shoppers believe supermarket brands to be as good as national name brands. To investigate whether this result applies to its own product, the manufacturer of a national name-brand ketchup asked a sample of shoppers whether they believed that supermarket ketchup was as good as the national brand ketchup. (a) Formulate the hypotheses that could be used to determine whether the percentage of supermarket shoppers who believe that the supermarket ketchup was as good as the national brand ketchup is less than 62%. Ho: P = 0.62 H₂: P = 0.62 Ho: p≥ 0.62 H₂: P 0.62 H₂: p ≤ 0.62 Ho: p ≤ 0.62 H₂: p > 0.62 (b) If a sample of 100 shoppers showed 49 stating that the supermarket and was as good as the national brand, what is the p-value? Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) p-value = (c) At a = 0.05, what is your conclusion?

e-Books A study by the Pew Internet & American LifeProject found that 78% of U.S. residents over 16 yearsold read a book in the past 12 months. They also foundthat 21% had read an e-book using a reader or computer during that period. A newspaper reporting on these find-ings concluded that 99% of U.S. adult residents had reada book in some fashion in the past year.

In 1948, an organization surveyed 1100 adults and asked, "Are you a total abstainer from, or do you on occasion consume, alcoholic beverages?" Of the 1100 adults surveyed, 429 indicated that they were total abstainers. In a recent survey, the same question was asked of 1100 adults and 363 indicated that they were total abstainers. Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test.

A radio news story claimed that half of all U.S. adults have Internet access. In a national poll about Internet usage (The Pew Internet Project), 12,638 U.S. adults were surveyed and it was found that 6413 of those surveyed had Internet access. At a 5% level of significance, perform a hypothesis test to test the claim made by the radio news story. The correct conclusion is: Group of answer choices half of all U.S. adults have Internet access. less than half of all U.S. adults have Internet access. The percentage of U.S. adults that have Internet access is not one-half. more than half of all U.S. adults have Internet access.
The General Social Survey is an annual survey given to a random selection of about 1500 adults in the United States. Among the many questions asked are "What is the highest level of education you've completed?" and "If you're employed full-time, how many hours do you spend working at your job during a typical week?" We're interested in examining whether or not there are differences in the typical work week length based on the level of education of the worker. We perform a one-way, independent-samples ANOVA test, with the "groups" in the ANOVA being categories of highest educational degree of the worker ("less than high school," "bachelor's degree," etc.) and the variable being the number of hours written down by the worker in answering the survey question. (a) Suppose that the results of our ANOVA are given in the ANOVA table below. Complete the missing cell of the ANOVA table (rounding your answer to two decimal places).

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.
ⒸBFW Publishers An article in Forbes magazine claims that half of the adults in the United States do not have any savings. To substantiate that claim, the company, GoBanking, asked a random sample of 500 adults around the country how much money they have in savings and found that 265, or 53% of them, had no savings. To determine if these data provide convincing evidence that more than half of the adults in the United States do not have any savings, 200 simulated SRSS were selected. Each dot in the graph shows the number of adults that have no savings in a simulated SRS of 500 adults, assuming that each person has a 50% chance of not having any savings. The sample result showed that 265 out of 500 adults had no savings. The simulation shows the number of adults out of 500 that we can typically expect to have no savings if 50% is true. 220 225 230 235 240 245 250 255 260 265 270 275 280 Simulated sample count of adults that do not have any savings How many of the trials in the simulation…
