In a random sample of men from Cornwall, 22 were left-handed and 218 were right-handed. In a random sample of women from Cornwall, 64 were left-handed and 456 were right-handed. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of left-handed Cornish men is lower than the proportion of left-handed Cornish women. You may use the Ztable.pdf or the critical values below.Critical Values:\[\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hlinez_{0.005} = 2.575 & z_{0.01} = 2.325 & z_{0.025} = 1.96 & z_{0.05} = 1.645 & z_{0.10} = 1.282 \\\hline\end{array}\]

In a population of 150 pea plants, there are 89 tall-purple plants, 25 short-purple plants, 28 tall-white plants, and 8 short-white plants. In order to test if the two traits are experiencing independent assortment researchers would perform a chi squared test. What is your calculated Chi Squared statistic? What is the corresponding P value?

Suppose that you wanted to buy a new Honda Civic and you want to wait until you can get a good deal. You want to see if the usual/average price of a Honda Civic is below the blue book value of $21,550. You are unsure that the prices of the current listings around you are lower than the blue book value of a Honda Civic so you randomly sample 49 listings from the area and find their sample mean selling price is $20,015 and their sample standard deviation is $1750.
A long-term study followed 128 women throughout their lifetime. Among thevarious data collected, one interesting result was that 35 of these women hadsuffered from a migraine at some point in their life Use the results of this study to test the claim that the percentage(proportion) of women in the population that will suffer from a migraine isless than 35% in their lifetime. Use 0.05 significance level. Use symbolsand words to express your answer.
According the the U.S. Census bureau, the percentage of Santa Ana residents with a bachelor's degree or higher is 14% and the percentage of Irvine residents with a bachelor's degree or higher is 68.5%. Suppose that the sample sizes were 1000 for the Santa Ana group and 1000 for the irvine group. Is there enough evidence to conclude that people who live in Irvine have a higher level of education compared to people living in Santa Ana?
One personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. After taking the test and seeing your score for this subsection, you're interested in the mean score, μ , among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that μ is 148 , but you believe that μ is greater than 148 . You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is 152 and that the standard deviation of their scores is 28 . Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis ( H0 ) and the alternative hypothesis ( H1 ) that should be used for the test? H0 : μ is H1 : μ is In the context of this test, what is a Type I error?A Type I error is the hypothesis that μ is when, in fact, μ is .Suppose that you decide not to…
A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.

A dowser has correctly located water for a well 1 out of 2 times in Jones County. In Jones County, someone who is just guessing has a 40% chance of locating water for a well. Does this sample provide sufficient evidence that the dowser can locate water and is not just guessing?
