Thirty-five percent of all Americans drink bottled water more than once a week (Natural resources Defense Council, December 4, 2015). Suppose you have been hired by the Natural Resources Defence Council to investigate bottled water consumption in St. Paul. You plan to select a sample of St. Paulites to estimate the proportion who drink bottled water more than once a week. Assume the popluation proportion of St. Paulites who drink bottled water more than once a week is 0.35 , the same as the overall proportion of Americans who drink bottled water more than once a week. Suppose you select a sample of 540 St. Paulites. Show the sampling distribution of “p with a line over it” (to 4 decimals). E(p with a line over it) = 0` p with a line over it = Based upon a sample of 540 St. Paulites, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.08 of the population proportion (to 4 decimals).

Page 160 #17 We predict that children exhibit more aggressive act after watching a violent television show. The scores for ten children were recorded before they watched a violent show and then after they watched a violent show. Aggression was measured in terms of number of aggressive acts (e.g. hitting, yelling, kicking etc). Sample 1 (after TV show): 5,6,4,4,7,3,2,1,4,1 Sample 2 (before TV show): 4,6,3,2,4,1,0,0,5,2 Is this a one-tailed or two-tailed test?
Hurricane Andrew swept through southern Florida causing billions of dollars of damage. Because of the severity of the storm and the type of residential construction used in this semitropical area, there was some concern that the average claim size would be greater than the historical average hurricane claim of $25,500. Several insurance companies collaborated in a data gathering experiment. They randomly selected 26 homes and sent adjusters to settle the claims. In the sample of 26 homes, the average claim was $28,000 with a population standard deviation of $6300. Is there sufficient evidence at a 0.01 significance level to support the claim that the home damage is greater than the historical average? Assume the population of insurance claims is approximately normally distributed. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Ho 25,500 Ha H. 25,500
The American Water Works Association reports that, The average household water usage is more than 10 gallons per day. However, in a pandemic like this, it is suspected that there is a change in household water consumption. A researcher conducted a survey and took samples of 12 household heads and asked about the use of the gallon water. The data obtained are as follows: 74, 8, 13, 17, 13, 15, 12, 13, 15, 16, 9, 7. If it is known that the data is normally distributed. Use a significance level of 5% to test whether the average household water use has increased (greater than 10 gallons)? What will happen if the household's water use increases by 5% from the previous one? Analyze your answer and come up with a conclusion!
According to the NIMH website the average number of adult Americans diagnosed with a “serious mental illness” across all 50 states in 2019 was μ = 5.2 out of 100 residents (or 5.2%). Please test to see if the sample of states listed below (n=8) has a significantly higher level of mental illness than the population mean of 5.2. Sample data: Arkansas= 5.45%, Montana=5.34%, Vermont=5.32%, Oregon=5.19%, Utah=5.2%, Ohio=5.13, Kentucky=5.25% West Virginia=5.18%. Hint - drop the % signs and use 5.45, 5.32, etc as the X scores.
