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.

According to Security Magazine, 83% of ransomware victims paid to restore access to their data. Assume that a random sample of 200 ransomware victims in UAE showed that 79% paid to restore their data. We are interetsed in testing whether the percentage of ransomware victims who paid to restore their data in UAE is lower than the global rate. The p-value of the test is
What price do farmers get for their watermelon crops? In the third week of July, a random sample of 40 farming regions gave a sample mean of x = $6.88 per 100 pounds of watermelon. Assume that ? is known to be $1.92 per 100 pounds.
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
Would you favor spending more federal tax money on the arts? Of a random sample of n1 = 204 women, r1 = 70 responded yes. Another random sample of n2 = 178 men showed that r2 = 48 responded yes. Does this information indicate a difference (either way) between the population proportion of women and the population proportion of men who favor spending more federal tax dollars on the arts? Use ? = 0.05. (a) What is the level of significance?State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 > p2H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 < p2 H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 ≠ p2H0: p1 < p2; H1: p1 = p2 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? The standard normal.

Support for the U.S. death penalty for convicted murderers was 63% in 2014 (Gallup poll results 2018). In a recent survey of 150 randomly selected U.S. adults, 75 said they were in favor of the death penalty for those convicted of murder. Does this sample appear to come from a population with a lower proportion in favor of the death penalty? d) Say that a = 0.05, what does this mean. Explain in the context of the problem. e) What would it mean to make a type II error? Explain in the context of this problem. f) Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim. State your conclusion AND interpret your results.
Management of a theater in a large city wants to know whether its popularity increased after it ran a popular musical. According to a previous study, 25% of city residents said they had been to the theater in the past year. A more recent study, conducted after the musical had run for a year, found that 156 of 536 residents sampled said they had been to the theater in the past year. Is there evidence at the ? = 0.05 level that the number of residents who have been to the theater has increased in the last year?
p = proportion of students who drop out due to lack of economic resources A sociologist thinks that in his country the percentage of students who drop out due to lack of economic resources is different from 40%. He takes a sample of 70 student dropouts and finds that 37 of them dropped out due to lack of financial resources.Can the sociologist, with a significance level of 0.05, consider that the percentage of students who drop out due to lack of economic resources is different from 40%?

i.20% of the response times are longer than how many minutes? iI.Find the IQR of the response times. Suppose that another “major city” claimed that its police force response times followed a normal model with a mean of 8 minutes. What is the SD of this model if 95% of the response times were at most 12 minutes? Show all steps in your solution.
In a fishing lodge brochure, the lodge advertises that 75% of its guests catch northern pike over 20 pounds. Suppose that last summer 59 out of a random sample of 85 guests did, in fact, catch northern pike weighing over 20 pounds. Does this indicate that the population proportion of guests who catch pike over 20 pounds is different from 75% (either higher or lower)? Use a = 0.05. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. O Ho: p = 0.75; H1: p 0.75 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? O The Student's t, since np 5 and ng > 5. O The standard normal, since np 5 and nq > 5. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
