In a certain county in 2013, it was thought that 50% of men 50 years old or older had never been screened for prostate cancer. Suppose a random sample of 50 of these men shows that 20 of them had never been screened. a. What is the observed frequency of men who said they had not been screened? b. What is the observed proportion of men who said they had not been screened? c. What is the expected number in the sample to say they had never been screened if 50% is the correct rate? a. The observed frequency of men who said they had not been screened is (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. The observed proportion of men who said they had not been screened is. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) c. The expected number in the sample to say they had never been screened if 50% is the correct rate is (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

1. The percentage of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported talking at least once in the past year with their parents about the dangers of drug, tobacco, or alcohol is 60% nationally. A state youth council believes this proportion is higher in their state, where there has been an intense media campaign about this issue. A survey of randomly chosen students from across the state shows 1032 of 1642 students reporting they are having these conversations with their parents. Is there evidence that the percent of students using drugs, tobacco or alcohol in this state is above the national rate?

One cable company advertises that it has excellent customer service. In fact, the company advertises that a technician will be there within 30 minutes of when a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not the truth, claiming that it takes over 30 minutes for the cable repairman to arrive. The customer asks 15 of his neighbors how long it has taken for the cable repairman to arrive when they have called for him. The sample mean for this group is 32.2 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 3.6 minutes. Test the customer’s claim at the 0.02 level of significance. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses (b) Find the value of your test statistic. Draw a picture and label its location on the normal curve. Also shade the area where you will find the p-value. (c) Calculate the p-value from the sample data. Compare it to the significance level. Label it’s value and location on your bell curve (d) Write a full…
