### Hypothesis Testing for Audience Interest in TV Shows#### Problem ContextIn a recent Super Bowl, a TV network predicted that **27% of the audience** would express an interest in seeing one of its forthcoming television shows. The network ran commercials for these shows during the Super Bowl. The day after the Super Bowl, an Advertising Group sampled 122 people who saw the commercials and found that 38 of them said they would watch one of the television shows.#### HypothesesTo test the network's prediction, we set up the following null and alternative hypotheses:- **Null Hypothesis ($H_0$):** $p = 0.27$- **Alternative Hypothesis ($H_a$):** $p < 0.27$#### Calculation of the Test StatisticWe will calculate the test statistic, $z$, for the given data, rounded to three decimal places.\[ z = \](Further details on how to compute the test statistic could follow this setup on the educational website, such as formulas and step-by-step solutions.)---### Steps to Calculate the Test Statistic:1. **Determine the sample proportion**: \[ \hat{p} = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{38}{122} \] 2. **Calculate the standard error**: \[ SE = \sqrt{\frac{p_0 (1 - p_0)}{n}} \] Where $p_0$ is the proportion under the null hypothesis (0.27) and $n$ is the sample size (122).3. **Compute the z-value**: \[ z = \frac{\hat{p} - p_0}{SE} \]By following these steps, you can determine the z-value to test the hypothesis that the actual proportion of interested viewers is lower than the predicted 27%.This structured explanation helps in understanding the process of hypothesis testing and gives clarity on each step involved.

According to the most recent General Social Survey, 70% of adults watch TV nightly. A researcher believes that the proportion of college students who watch TV nightly is less than this. To test this claim the research samples 400 college students and finds that 276 watch TV nightly. At the 0.05 level of significance does this data provide evidence to suggest that the proportion of college students who watch TV nightly is less than 70%? Select the correct conclusion for the hypothesis test: Question 12 options: Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is less than the level of significance. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is greater than the level of significance. Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is less than the level of significance. Reject the null because the p-value is greater than the level of significance.
A medical researcher claims that the proportion of people taking a certain medication that develop serious side effects is 12%. To test this claim, a random sample of 900 people taking the medication is taken and it is determined that 93 people have experienced serious side effects.. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: Ho :p 0.12 Ha p 0.12 In this example, the p-value was determined to be 0.124. come to a conclusion and interpret the results for this hypothesis test for a proportion (use a significance level of 5%) Select the correct answer below: The decision is to reject the Null Hypothesis. The conclusion is that there is enough evidence to reject the claim O The decision is to fail to reject the Null Hypothesis. The conclusion is that there is not enough evidence to reject the claim
Males and females were asked what they would do if they received a $100 bill in the mail that was addressed to their neighbor, but had been incorrectly delivered to them. Of the 70 males sampled, 55 said yes they would return it to their neighbor. Of the 130 females sampled, 120 said yes. The overall question is: Is this sufficient evidence to say that the two true proportions are different? Choose the best null and alternative hypothesis for this test. O Null: (p1 - p2) = 0 vs Alternative (p1 - p2) > O. O Null: (p1 - p2) = 0 vs Alternative (p1 - p2) not = 0.

An anger-management courseclaims that, after completing its seminar, participants will lose their tempers less often. Always a skeptic, you decide to test this claim. A random sample of 12 seminar participants is chosen, and these participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the two weeks prior to the course. After the course is over, the same participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the next two weeks. The following table lists the results of the survey. Using these data, test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal.

A USA Today article claims that the proportion of people who believe global warming is a serious issue is 0.63, but given the number of people you've talked to about this same issue, you believe it is less than 0.63. The hypotheses for this test are Null Hypothesis: p ≥ 0.63, Alternative Hypothesis: p < 0.63. If you randomly sample 20 people and 12 of them believe that global warming is a serious issue, what is your test statistic and p-value?

Burnout. According to a recent survey 45% of health care workers ages 18-29 reported feeling burnout from their jobs. Researchers believe that the level of burnout among older workers is even higher than that of younger workers. To test this belief they collected data from a random sample of 237 healthcare workers ages 50-64, and observed that 55% of healthcare workers in this age group reported feeling burnout from their jobs. Which of the following describes the null hypothesis for this study? 1). Null hypothesis: p=0.55 2) Null hypothesis: p=.45 3) Null hypothesis: p>0.55 4) Null hypothesis: p>0.45

In an experiment,a random sample of applicant who do not pass the test is also employed. Training is successfully completed by only 50%of this group.if no pre Employment test is used,what percentage of applicants would you expect to complete training successfully?
A poll done for Newsweek found that 13% of Americans have seen or sensed the presence of an angel. A contingent doubts that the percent is really that high. It conducts its own survey. Out of 76 Americans surveyed, only two had seen or sensed the presence of an angel. As a result of the contingent’s survey, would you agree with the Newsweek poll? Perform a hypothesis test, using the five-step process, to test whether the proportion of Americans who have seen or sensed the presence of an angel is less than 13%.
