One urban affairs sociologist claims that the proportion, p, of adult residents of a particular city who have been victimized by a criminal is at least 50%. A random sample of 180 adult residents of this city were questioned, and it was found that 76 of them had been victimized by a criminal. Based on these data, can we reject the sociologist's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H . p Ho :0 H :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) ▼ D=0 OSO (c) Find the value of the test statistic.

An article reported a survey of patients with Parkinson's disease. Of 166 patients who said they exercised regularly, 75 reported failing in the previous six months. Of 96 patients who said they did not exercise regularly, 49 reported falling in the previous six months. Can you conclude the proportion of patients who fall is more for those who exercise than for those who do not? Use the significance level of 0.10.

The IQ scores for a random sample of subjects with medium lead levels in their blood and another random sample of subjects with high lead levels in their blood are given below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that subjects with medium lead levels have full IQ scores with a higher median that the median full IQ score for subjects with high lead levels. Does lead level appear to affect full IQ scores? Click the icon to view the data table. First define the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: H₁: Data Table Let the medium lead level be sample 1.

A marketing agency wanted to determine if a new commercial changed people's opinion about a company. They recruited n=30 participants to watch the commercial. First, everyone was givien a survey to determine their attitudes toward the company. Then, everyone watched the new commercial. Finally, they were given the same survey again and asked about their attitudes toward the comapny after seeing the commercial. The agency wanted to see if attitudes were changed by the commercial. What statistical test should they use?
The accompanying table gives amounts of arsenic in samples of brown rice from three different states. The amounts are in micrograms of arsenic and all samples have the same serving size. The data are from the Food and Drug Administration. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the three samples are from populations with the same mean. Do the amounts of arsenic appear to be different in the different states? Given that the amounts of arsenic in the samples from Texas have the highest mean, can we conclude that brown rice from Texas poses the greatest health problem? Click the icon to view the data.

The student body at many community colleges is considered a "commuter population". The following question was asked of the Student Affairs Office at one such college: "How far (one way) does the average community college student commute to college daily?" The office answered: "20.0 miles or less." The inquirer was not convinced of the truth of this and decided to test the statement. She took a random sample of 55 students and found a mean commuting distance of 21.5 miles. Test the statement made by the Students affairs Office at a significance level of 0.01. Assume that the population standard deviation is known to be 5.1 miles. Use the P-Value Method of Testing.In your work space below, you will need to have -1. The null hypothesis, Ho 2. The alternative hypothesis, H13. The test statistic 4. The type of test(left, right, two-tailed) and the p-value 5. The decision to accept Ho or reject Ho
