Problem 26 "Streaming" of television programs is trending upward. According to The Harris Poll (August 26, 2013), over one- third of American's qualify as "subscription streamers," i.e., those who watch streamed TV programs through a subscription service such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, or Amazon Prime. The poll included 2,242 adult TV viewers, of which 785 are subscription streamers. On the basis of this result, can you conclude that the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third? Carry out the test using a Type I error rate of a a = 0.10. Be sure to give the null and alternative hypotheses tested, test statistic value, rejection region or p-value, and conclusion.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports state-level and national data on crimes. An investigator compares the incidence of crime in the United States in 1991 and in 2001. In 1991, there were 28,000 crimes compared with 22,000 in 2001. Can you conclude that the US became more law-abiding over that time period?
A researcher is interested in examining whether the location that a person lives is related to the number of hours that they spend on the internet each week. The researcher collected data from a sample of 30 participants who were classified in one of three groups: (1) 10 people who live in an urban setting, (2) 10 people who live in a suburban setting, and (3) 10 people who live in a rural setting. Each participant reported the number of hours they spend on the internet in a typical week (the dependent variable). The researcher found the following descriptive statistics: Urban participants reported an average of 8.9 hours of internet use per week with a standard deviation of 2.77. Suburban participants reported an average of 12.7 hours of internet use per week with a standard deviation of 4.88. Rural participants reported an average of 9.8 hours of internet use per week with a standard deviation of 2.82. Using the data that was collected, the researcher found the following: The…

The authors of a paper compared two different methods for measuring body fat percentage. One method uses ultrasound, and the other method uses X-ray technology. Body fat percentages using each of these methods for 16 athletes (a subset of the data given in a graph that appeared in the paper) are given in the accompanying table. You can assume that the 16 athletes who participated in this study are representative of the population of athletes.

The price of a share of stock divided by the company's estimated future earnings per share is called the P/E ratio. High P/E ratios usually indicate "growth" stocks, or maybe stocks that are simply overpriced. Low P/E ratios indicate "value" stocks or bargain stocks. A random sample of 51 of the largest companies in the United States gave the following P/E ratios†. 11 35 19 13 15 21 40 18 60 72 9 20 29 53 16 26 21 14 21 27 10 12 47 14 33 14 18 17 20 19 13 25 23 27 5 16 8 49 44 20 27 8 19 12 31 67 51 26 19 18 32 (a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to find the sample mean x and sample standard deviation s.

The Energy Star rating system is an energy efficiency program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)Energy Star certified appliances, such as televisions and refrigerators, are rated in regard to their average energy consumption per year. A certain brand of Energy Star certified refrigerator is stated to have a mean yearly electricity cost of $99. A consumer advocacy organization believes that this claim is wrong, that the energy consumption of this particular refrigerator is different than $99 per year. The group collected a random sample of 16 refrigerators of the model in question and had each lab-tested for electricity consumption. The yearly energy consumption of each is given below. 96.7697.898.67 95.52 97.8 95.896.9299.57 97.64 95.46 98.03 96.42 99.32 98.99 95.2197.12 Using alpha = 0.1 , test the hypothesis that the average yearly electricity consumption of the refrigerator in question is different than $99 per year.
