Past studies have indicated that the percentage of smokers is estimated to be about 35%. Given the new smoking cessation programs that have been implemented, you now believe that the percentage of smokers has reduced. a) If you going to test this claim at the 0.05 significance level, what would be your null and alternative hypotheses?

In 1942, an organization surveyed 1100 adults and asked, "Are you a total abstainer from, or do you on occasion consume, alcoholic beverages?" Of the 1100 adults surveyed, 440 indicated that they were total abstainers. In a recent survey, the same question was asked of 1100 adults and 418 indicated that they were total abstainers. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. C "1.M1 M2 Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test. 0.96 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Determine the P-value for this hypothesis test. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
The national average SAT score is roughly 1500. We would like to see if the high school seniors who apply to Duke have higher than average SAT scores. We randomly sample 100 applicants' files and record their SAT scores. Which of the following is the correct set of hypotheses for this research question? Hint: think about how many samples we have data from. OHO: H= 1500; HA: µ = 1500 Ho: H Duke National; HA: H Duke National Ho: x= 1500; HA: x > 1500 OHO: H = 1500; HA: > 1500 O Ho: P = 1500; HA: P > 1500

2. Which one of the following statements is correct? A. If you are told a sample percentage is 25%, you would need to know the sample size in order to convert that percentage to a proportion. B. We always begin a hypothesis test by assuming that the alternative hypothesis is true. C. The test statistic is affected by the size of the sample. D. A small P-value means we have evidence in favor of the null hypothesis. E. The test statistic will be negative if the claimed population proportion is smaller than the sample proportion.
A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.

1a) Manual Transmission Automobiles In 1980 more than 35% of cars purchased had a manual transmission (i.e. stick shift). By 2007 the proportion had decreased to 7.7%. A random sample of college students who owned cars revealed the following: out of 130 cars, 24 had stick shifts. Estimate the proportion of college students who drive sticks with 90% confidence. Use a graphing calculator and round the answers to at least three decimal places. b) Belief in Haunted Places A random sample of 305 college students were asked if they believed that places could be haunted, and 44 responded yes. Estimate the true proportion of college students who believe in the possibility of haunted places with97% confidence. According to Time magazine, 37% of Americans believe that places can be haunted. Round the answers to at least five decimal places. Use a graphing calculator. ___ < p < ___ c) Travel to Outer Space A CBS News/New York Times poll found that 329 out of 763 randomly selected…
