Nationwide, suppose that drinking water samples have probability 0.04 of having insufficient levels of chlorine. Suppose further that a recent study in alberta showed that 12 of 500 drinking water samples had insufficient levels of chlorine. Does this evidence imply that alberta is significantly under the national average? Test at a 5% significance level and report a p-value.

In a previous poll, 46% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose that, in a more recent poll, 515 of 1172 adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased? Use the a= 0.05 significance level.

Suppose IQ scores were obtained for 20 randomly selected sets of siblings. The 20 pairs of measurements yield x = 98.67, y = 99, r= 0.930, P-value = 0.000, and %3D y = - 12.38 +1.13x, where x represents the IQ score of the younger child.

Cadmium, a heavy metal, is toxic to animals. Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cadmium at high concentrations. A government set a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.5 parts per million (ppm). The cadmium levels in a random sample of one species of edible mushroom are in the accompanying data set. At the 10% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean cadmium level in this species of mushroom is greater than the government's recommended limit of 0.5ppm? Assume that the population standard deviation of cadmium levels in this species of mushroom is 0.45 ppm. Preliminary data analyses indicate that applying the z-test is reasonable.

A national organization that conducts research on the cost and quality of health care in the U.S. reported that, in 2012, U.S. families spent an average of $9,590 on health care expenses. Suppose you decide to test whetherthe average in 2015 is greater than the average in 2012. After conducting the appropriate statistical test, you find a P-value of 0.022. If the level of significance is 0.05, which of the following is the best interpretation of the P-value? a. The P-value of 0.022 indicates that there is a 2.2% chance that the 2015 average is greater than the average amount spent in 2012.b. The P-value of 0.022 provides weak evidence that the average in 2015 average is greater than the average amount spent in 2012.c. The P-value of 0.022 provides strong evidence that the 2015 average is greater than the average amount spent in 2012.d. The P-value of 0.022 indicates that there is a very low probability that the 2015 average is different than average amount spent in 2012.
