Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted thirty years ago revealed that out of 378 randomly selected adults in the United States 57 were considered to be obese. In this year’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, out of 426randomly selected adults in the United States 135 were considered to be obese. Based on these results, can one conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the percentage of adults in the United States that are obese is considerably higher now than it was thirty years ago?
A company claims that at least 94% of equipment supplied to a manufacturer is within specifications. A test of a sample of 200 pieces of equipment showed that 27 of them were faulty. Test their claim at the 5% significance level?

A barangay captain claims that at least 25% of the residents in his barangay have household pets. To test this claim a researcher randomly selected a sample of 50 residents and find that 13 of them do have pets. What can you conclude at 0.10 level of significance.
"At a certain college, it is estimated that about 37% of the students have cars on campus, and with this number, the parking lot is fully occupied. Would you suggest to increase the parking lot space if, in a random sample of 48 college students, 24 are found to have cars? Use 0.01 level of significance."
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. The school district administrators want to know if the proportion of only children in the special program is significantly different from the proportion for the school district. Test at the a = 0.05 level of significance. What is the hypothesized population proportion for this test? P =0.34 (Report answer as a decimal accurate to 2 decimal places. Do not report using the percent symbol) Based on the statement of this problem, how many tails would this hypothesis test have? one-tailed test two-tailed test Choose the correct pair of hypotheses for this situation: (C) (В) (A) Ho: p 0.29 Ho:p 0.29 Ho:p 0.29 H p 0.349 Ha p (F) (E) 0.349 (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) (F) N a e W
A health insurance company wants to determine if more than 25% of US residents have been to a hospital emergency room within the past year. It was found that in a sample of 1000 people, 28% indicated that they had been to an emergency room within the past year. With a significance level of 0.01, is there evidence to suggest that the proportion of US residents that have been to the emergency room in the past year is actually higher than 25%?
A manager claims that fewer than 65% of employees will qualify for performance bonus this year. From a representative sample of 40 employees, 57.5% qualify for performance bonus. Test the manager’s claim at a 1% level of significance.
According to a publication, 12.9% of 18 to 25-year-olds were users of marijuana in 2000. A recent poll of 1378 randomly selected 18 to 25-year-olds revealed that 215 currently use marijuana. At the 2% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of 18 to 25-year-olds who currently use marijuana has changed from the 2000 percentage of 12.9%? Use the one-proportion z-test to perform the appropriate hypothesis test, after checking the conditions for the procedure.
