HYPOTHESIS TESTING: 6. A study was designed to compare the smoking habits of married men with those married women. A random sample of 240 men revealed that 180 smoked. A random sample of 220 women indicate that 54 smoked. At the 0.01 significance level does the evidence show that a higher proportion of men smoke?

In 2005, Health Canada claimed that 16.9% of Canadian adults are obese. A researcher wanted to check whether this percentage has changed in 2009. In 2009, he randomly selected 90 Canadian adults and found 12 of them are obese. Use a 7% significance level. The decision rule is either Reject Ho if Zcalc > 1.48 Reject Ho if Zcalc > 1.81 Reject H0 if Zcalc < -1.81 or Zcalc > 1.81 Reject H0 if Zcalc < -1.48 or Zcalc > 1.48
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?

40 people are randomly sent to walk one of four trails. The time (in minutes) they spend completing each trail is recorded in the table below. (a) Test to see if the times needed to complete a trail vary. Use a 0.05 significance level. (b) Test each pair (A/B, A/C, A/D, B/C, B/D, C/D) to see which trails have a statistically significant difference. Indicate your p-value for each comparison, and when the effect is statistically significant (use 0.05 as your significance level), declare which trail of the two takes more time to complete. Trail A - 30, 33, 41, 27, 36, 31, 37, 40, 29, 35 Trail B - 27, 33, 38, 41, 40, 38, 35, 44, 41, 39 Trail C - 25, 34, 41, 39, 32, 30, 36, 35, 27, 33 Trail D - 41, 39, 46, 37, 40, 42, 50, 42, 50, 33, 47, 43

It is believed that 11% of all Americans are left-handed. A college needs to know how many left-handed desks to place in the big lecture halls being constructed on its campus. In a random sample of 120 students of its 12124 students, 15 were left-handed. Does this provide enough evidence to show that students at this college have a higher percentage of left-handers than the general American population? Use a 10% level of significance.
The coach of a very popular men’s basketball team claims that the average distance the fans travel to the campus to watch a game is 35 miles. The team members feel otherwise. A sample of 16 fans who travel to games was randomly selected and yielded a mean of M= 36 miles and s= 5 miles. Test the coach’s claim at the 5% (.05) level of significance. one-tailed or two-tailed test: State the hypotheses: df= tα or t value for the critical region = sM = t (test statistic)= Decision:
Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
