In a recent study, researchers found that 31 out of 150 boys aged 7-13 were overweight or obese. On the basis of this study can we conclude that more than 15% of the boys aged 7-13 in the sampled population are overweight or obese? Use a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following to receive full credit: 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value.

11. A local bank wants to evaluate the usage of its ATM. Currently the bank manager II assumes that the ATM is used consistently throughout the week, including weekends. She decides to use statistical inference with a 0.025 level of significance to test a customer's claim that the ATM is much busier on some days of the week than it is on other days. During a randomly selected week, the bank recorded the number of times the ATM was used on each day. The results are listed in the following table. ATM Usage Number of Times Used Monday 38 33 mdaay, Wednesday 41 Thursday 25 Friday 22 Saturday 38 Sunday 45

A bank manager is interested in if the mean time it takes for customers to be served at their branch is 8 minutes. Having taken a random sample of customer waiting times, the manager performs a hypothesis test and finds a p-value of 0.03. At the 5% significance level, the conclusion of the test will be: A. B. C. D. E. As only the p-value is provided, there is not enough information to be able to decide whether to reject or not reject the null hypothesis at the 5% significance level. The results suggest that, at the 5% significance level, the population mean waiting time is not 8 minutes. The results suggest that, at the 5% significance level, the population mean waiting time is in fact 0.03 minutes. The results suggest that, at the 5% significance level, the manager is unable to reject the null hypothesis, that the population mean waiting time is 8 minutes. None of the above. The mean represents: A. the arithmetic average of a data distribution B. the degree of kurtosis C. the most…
In a certain school district, it was observed that 29% of the students in the element schools were classified as only children (no siblings). However, in the special program for talented and gifted children, 130 out of 373 students are only children.
