Jen thinks a certain potato chip maker is putting fewer chips in their regular bags of chips. From a random sample of 12 bags of potato chips she calculated a P value of 0.143 for the sample. (a) At a 5% level of significance, is there evidence that Jen is correct? (Type: Yes or No): (b) At a 10% level of significance, is there evidence that she is correct? (Type: Yes or No): (c) In a statistical test of hypotheses, we say that the data are statistically significant at level αα if A. the P - value is less than αα. B. the P - value is larger than αα. C. αα is small. D. α=0.05α=0.05.

Suppose the Humane Society claims that 30% of U.S. households own cats. You believe your community is different than the U.S. percentage. To test the claim, you take a simple random sample of 300 households and find that 33% own cats. Test at 5% significance.

Generally speaking, would you say that most people can be trusted? A random sample of n. 258 people in Chicago ages 18-25 showed that r₁-40 said yes.
