Previously, 11.2% of workers had a travel time to work more than 60 minutes. An urban economist belleves that the percentage has increased since then. She randomly selects 85 workers and finds that 11 of them have a travel time to work that is more than 60 minutes. Test the economist's belief at the a= 0.11 level of significance. (1) Find the P-value.

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly more than 0.46. Your sample data produce the test statistic z=1.883. Find the p-value accurate to 4 decimal places.
In a 2005 study 2205 adolescents aged 12 - 19 years old were give a treadmill test to check their cardiovascular health. 750 of the subjects were determined to have poor cardiovascular fitness. The researchers want to claim that more than 30% of adolescents have poor cardiovascular health (with a 5% level of significance). The research hypothesis is Ha : p > 0.30. Complete the test by computing the test statistic, the p-value, and stating your conclusions.
A survey by Men’s Health magazine stated that 14% of men said they used exercise to reduce stress. Could this be valid, or is it actually less than what the magazine claims? A random sample of 100 men was selected, and 10 said that they used exercise to relieve stress. If a=0.10, test a hypothesis and state your conclusion in context.
Market Researchers have become more interested in the potential of social networking sites. Butthey need to understand the demographics of social networking users. A recent survey showed that22 of the 30 respondents who reported earning less than $30,000 per year said that they weresocial networking users. The mean salary of the 22 respondents was $21,500 with a standarddeviation of $200. On the other hand, 20 of the 30 respondents who reported earning more than$70,000 per year said that they were social networking users. The mean salary of the 20respondents was $90,000 with a standard deviation of $300. (a) Is there is enough evidence to infer that those who reported earning less than $30,000 per yearare more likely to be social networking users? Assume that the level of significance is 2.5%. (b) Estimate with 98% confidence the variance of salaries of the entire population of social networkusers earning more than $70,000 per year

According to a sociologist's research on U.S. residents' habits regarding religious faith, 38% of U.S. residents attend a religious service (any denomination) at least once per month. Suppose 310 U.S. residents are sampled. (Give results accurate to at least 4 decimal places.) a. Of the 310 people sampled, 132 respond that they attend a religious service at least once per month. What is the sample statistic p? p= 0.4258 b. Under the assumption that the sociologist's claim that 38% of U.S. residents attend a religious service at least once per month is valid, what is the probability that the survey in part (a) would result in a p that is at least as high as the one found? c. Under the assumption that the sociologist's claim that 38% of U.S. residents attend a religious service at least once per month is valid, what is the probability that the survey in part (a) would result in a p that is between 37% and 40%?
