Minnesota had the highest turnout rate of any state for the 2016 presidential election. + Political analysts wonder if turnout in rural Minnesota was higher than turnout in the urban areas of the state. A sample shows that 627 of 836 registered voters from rural Minnesota voted in the 2016 presidential election, while 396 out of 550 registered voters from urban Minnesota voted. (a) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses that can be used to test whether registered voters in rural Minnesota were more likely than registered voters in urban Minnesota to vote in the 2016 presidential election. (Let P₁ = the population proportion of voters in rural Minnesota who voted in the 2016 election and p₂ = the population proportion of voters in urban Minnesota who voted in the 2016 election.)

A private and a public university are located in the same city. For the private university, 1046 alumni were surveyed and 653 said that they attended at least one class reunion. For the public university, 791 out of 1327 sampled alumni claimed they have attended at least one class reunion. Is the difference in the sample proportions statistically significant at the 1% level? (Null and Alternate Hypothesis and Rejection Region) [Group 1: Private University; Group 2: Public University] A. Ho: p1 = p 2; Ha: p 1 < p 2; Rejection Region: z < -2.33 B.

6) In an exit poll, 42 of 75 men sampled supported a ballot initiative to raise the local sales tax to build a new football stadium. In the same poll, 41 of 85 women sampled supported the initiative. Find and interpret the p-value for the test of hypothesis that the proportions of men and women who support the initiative are different.
A rescue claims that 30% of u.s. households have a dog. In a random sample of 210 u.s. households, 35% say they own a dog. Is there enough evidence to show the percentage has increased? Identify the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis. A) H0: p=0.35 vs Ha:p<0.35 B) H0: p=0.30 vs Ha:p>0.30 C) H0: p=0.30 vs Ha: p<0.30 D) H0: p=0.35 vs Ha:p>0.35
In 2004, 68% of online courses taught at community colleges nationwide were taught by full-time faculty. To test if 68% also represents California's percent for full-time faculty teaching the online classes, Long Beach City College (LBCC), CA, was randomly selected for comparison. In 2004, 34 of the 44 online courses LBCC offered were taught by full-time faculty. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level to determine if 68% represents CA.†Note: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion. Sketch the graph of the situation. Label the point estimate and the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

A researcher wanted to know which local brewery had the best IPA. Each participant tried a sample from all three different breweries (Ore Dock, Black Rocks, and Barrel + Beam) and was asked to rate each one on a scale of 0-100.

A direct mail appeal for contributions from a university’s alumni and supporters is considered to be too costly if less than 15% of the alumni and supporters provide monetary contributions. To determine if a direct mail appeal is cost effective, the fundraising director sends the direct mail brochures to a simple random sample of 173 people on the alumni and supporters mailing lists. They receive monetary contributions from 18 people. Does this evidence demonstrate that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective? Use a 0.02 level of significance. Step 3 of 3 : Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision. 1. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.02 level of significance that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective. 2. We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.02 level of significance that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective. 3. We reject the null…
PLEASE ONLY SELECT THE ANSWERS AS SHOWN FOR THE MULTIPLE CHOICE, SUCH AS OPTION 1, 2, ETC. 1) A genetic experiment involving peas yielded one sample of offspring consisting of 427 green peas and 127 yellow peas. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that under the same circumstances, 25% of offspring peas will be yellow. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method and the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? A. H0: p=0.25 H1: p<0.25 B. H0: p=0.25 H1: p>0.25 C.

Country clerk in Essex County New Jersey selected candidates for positions on election ballot. Democrats were selected first in 40 of 41 ballots. Because he was supposed to use a method of random selection Republicans claimed that instead of using randomness he used a method that favor Democrats use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the ballot selection method favors Democrats.
