A research group conducted an extensive survey of 3044 wage and salaried workers on issues ranging from relationships with their bosses to household chores. The data were gathered through hour-long telephone interviews with a nationally representative sample. In response to the question, "What does success mean to you?" 1586 responded, "Personal satisfaction from doing a good job." Let p be the population proportion of all wage and salaried workers who would respond the same way to the stated question. Find a 90% confidence interval for p.

A study considered the question, "Are you a registered voter?" Accuracy of response was confirmed by a check of city voting records. Two methods of survey were used: a face-to-face interview and a telephone interview. A random sample of 89 people were asked the voter registration question face to face. Of those sampled, seventy-six respondents gave accurate answers (as verified by city records). Another random sample of 90 people were asked the same question during a telephone interview. Of those sampled, eighty-three respondents gave accurate answers. Assume the samples are representative of the general population. At the 95% level, do you detect any difference in the proportion of accurate responses from face-to-face interviews compared with the proportion of accurate responses from telephone interviews(Show your 2-Prop z Int confidence in interval notation and show your interpretation) I:76, n2=90,X2= 83, CiL = 6.95 89 O.1602 < P, -P2<0. 0236 yd borminoo 76 0.8539 s 83=…
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), 42% of college students nationwide engage in “binge drinking” behavior, having 5 or more drinks in one occasion during the past two weeks. A college president wonders if the proportion of students enrolled at her college that binge drink is actually different than the national proportion. In a commissioned study, 364 students are selected randomly from a list of all students enrolled at the college. Of these, 136 admitted to having engaged in binge drinking. The same college president is more interested in testing her suspicion that the proportion of students at her college that binge drink is different than the national proportion of .37. Use the statistic provided for her college above for your test. A. Define the null and alternative hypotheses to test this claim. B. By hand, calculate the test statistic for this test. C. Use…
A warehouse manager wants to know if there is an association between the shift worked and being on time for work. To investigate, he selects a random sample of 70 workers and classifies each one according to the shift they worked most recently and whether they were on time for work. He was unable to classify a substantial number of people as being on time, so he classified those individuals as unknown. The data are displayed in the table. The manager would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence of an association between the shift worked and being on time in the large population of all workers at this warehouse. The random and 10% conditions are met. Is the Large Counts condition met? Yes, the smallest expected count is 5, so all expected counts are at least 5. Yes, the smallest expected count is 8.54, so all expected counts are at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is 2.56, so the expected counts are not all at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is…
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?
A research group conducted an extensive survey of 2958 wage and salaried workers on issues ranging from relationships with their bosses to household chores. The data were gathered through hour-long telephone interviews with a nationally representative sample. In response to the question, "What does success mean to you?" 1467 responded, "Personal satisfaction from doing a good job." Let p be the population proportion of all wage and salaried workers who would respond the same way to the stated question. How large a sample is needed f we wish to be 95% confident that the sample percentage of those equating success with personal satisfaction is within 2.6% of the population percentage?

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), 41% of college students nationwide engage in "binge-drinking" behavior: having five or more drinks on one occasion during the past two weeks. A college president wonders if the proportion of students enrolled at her college who binge drink is actually lower than the national proportion. In a commissioned study, 346 students are selected randomly from a list of all students enrolled at the college. Of these, 135 admit to having engaged in binge drinking.The college president is more interested in testing her belief that the proportion of students at her college who engage in binge drinking is lower than the national proportion of 0.41.

Snoqualmie” is a name shared by a waterfall and a tribe of Native Americans. In a study of the cultural importance of the waterfall, two groups of the Snoqualmie tribe were randomly surveyed. One group consisted of Snoqualmie members living less than 25 miles from the waterfall. Another group consisted of Snoqualmie members living more than 25 miles from the waterfall. The researchers asked each member to rate the cultural importance of the waterfall as low, medium, or high. Data from the study are presented in the following table. Members Living More Than 25 Miles from the Waterfall Members Living Less Than 25 Miles from the Waterfall Total Low 25 17 42 Medium 8 21 29 High 5 12 17 Total 38 50 88 If the distributions of ratings are the same for those Snoqualmie members living less than 25 miles from the waterfall and those living more than 25 miles from the waterfall, which of the following is equal to the expected count of members living less than 25 miles from the…

Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?
