In a study to estimate the proportion of residents in a city that support the construction of a new bypass road in the vicinity, a random sample of 2500 residents were polled. Let X denote the number in the sample who supported the proposal. To estimate the true proportion in support of the plan, we X+y2500/2 can compute p The estimator p has 2500 bias А. 1/2500. B. 50/2. C. 0, so unbiased. D. 1/(2 × 50). Е. 1/50.

We are wondering if the proportions of voters who rejected the proposal to institute astate lottery vary by sex. Random samples from each sex are gathered and the following samplestatistics computed. For males (sample1): •proportion (p1) =0.35 •Sample size (n1) =178 For females (sample2): •Proportion (p2) =0.25 •Sample size (n2) =212 Test the research question atα=0.05 (two-tailed) with the five-step processes and concludeyour decisions. 1. Evaluate assumptions if we can use at-test and summarize parameters and statistics. 2. State the null hypothesis (i.e.,H0) and the working hypothesis (i.e.,H1). 3. Establish the critical region fort-distributions atα=0.05with a two-tailed test. 4. Compute the test statistics (i.e.,tobtained) and the corresponding probability (i.e.,p-value). 5. Make a decision and interpret test results.
3) A medical association claims that less than 20% of adults in the US are regular smokers of tobacco. To test this claim the survey a sample of 125 US adults and find that 19 of them are regular smokers. Test the medical association's claim using α=0.05.
A large university is planning to build a new parking garage on campus that will be paid for by a larger student parking fee. The student newspaper wanted to determine what proportion of the students favor the new garage. They email a random sample of 100 students and find that 30 of them are in favor of the new garage. What is the parameter of interest in this study?
1. On the basis of her experience with clients, a clinical psychologist thinks that depression may affect sleep. She decides to test this idea. The sleep of nine depressed patients and eight normal controls is monitored for three consecutive nights. The average number of hours slept by each subject during the last two nights is shown in the following table: (Pagano, 2010). If proved significant, compute of the effect size. Hours of Sleep Depressed patients 7.1 Normal controls 8.2 6.8 7.5 6.7 7.3 7.7 7.8 7.5 8.0 6.2 7.4 6.9 7.3 6.5 6.5 7.2
The Office of the University Registrar of Seoul University would like to know if the degree programs in College of Science and Math are equally preferred by students. Furthermore, the office would like to know if such degree programs are related to the gender of the students. The test claim that the proportions of the students enrolled are equal in each degree program at alpha=0.05 Using the data on the number of currently enrolled students in each gender (M of F) in each of the four degree programs, find the: a. Table showing the observed and expected values b. Chi-square critical Value c. Chi-square test statistic d. Accept or Reject the null hypothesis?
4. A city official claims that the proportion of all commuters who are in favor of an expandedpublic transportation system is 50%. A newspaper conducts a survey to determine whetherthis proportion is different from 50%. Out of 225 randomly chosen commuters, the surveyfinds that 90 of them reply yes when asked if they support an expanded public transportationsystem. Test the official’s claim at α = 0.05.

In a lightbulb factory, an administrator selects a random sample of bulbs produced on assembly line A and a random sample of bulbs produced on assembly line B. The administrator calculates the proportion of malfunctioning bulbs produced by each assembly line and finds that the difference between them (A - B) is 0.008. A researcher conducted a hypothesis test with the following hypotheses: H0: The proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line A is the sample as the proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line B. HA: The proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line A is greater than the proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line B. She found a P-value of 0.016. What is the best interpretation of this P-value? a If there is no difference in the proportions of all defective parts made on the two assembly lines, the probability of observing a difference of at least 0.008 is 0.016. b If there is a difference of 0.016 in the proportions…
