A few years ago, a cola manufacturer invited New Zealand consumers to take a blind taste test. Consumers were asked to decide which of two sodas, Brand 1 or Brand 2, they preferred. The manufacturer was interested in determining what factors played a role in people's taste preferences. One of the factors studied was which part of New Zealand the consumers lived in, and for this purpose the manufacturer divided consumers into South Islanders and North Islanders. If the true consumer population proportion of North Islanders who prefer Brand 1 is pN and the true consumer population proportion of South Islanders who prefer Brand 1 is pS, what null and alternative hypotheses should be used to test whether a larger proportion of North Islander consumers than South Islander consumers prefer Brand 1? ] Select one: a.H0 : pN - pS > 0, Ha : pN - pS = 0 b.H0 : pN - pS = 0, Ha : pN - pS ≠ 0 c.H0 : pN - pS = 0, Ha : pN - pS ≥ 0 d.H0 : pN - pS = 0, Ha : pN - pS > 0
A researcher's survey results indicate that about 50% of 12th graders consume less than 300g of vegetables at lunch, about 40% consume 300-600g, and only 10% of them consume more than 600g. A high school conducted a survey of student diets and health information, and reported data about 12th graders' vegetable intake at lunch is reported in the table photo. If researchers wants to find out whether the high school has the same proportions of 12th graders in the vegetable intake categories as reported by the survey, what would the appropiate test statistic be to use and why. Choosing between an ANOVA, Chi -Square independence tests, Chi Square Goodness of Fit, and One sample proportion test?
I am only given one attempt at this. I need help. A newspaper report conducted a survey of 753 people in New York City and found that 27% of the population believe that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year. In the accompanying dialogue, the report states, we are 99% confident that the true proportion of people in New York City who believe that the Yankees will miss the playoffs this year lies between 23% and 31% . What does 4% represent in the report? A. a parameterB. a statisticC. a confidence intervalD. a margin of errorE. a confidence level
The owner of a popular coffee shop believes that customers who drink espresso are less likely to use their own cup compared to customers who drink coffee. Customers using their own cups get a 5% discount, which is displayed on the receipt. The owner randomly selects 50 receipts from all espresso purchases and 50 receipts from all coffee purchases. For espresso purchases, 15 receipts showed that the customer used their own cup. For coffee purchases, 24 receipts showed the customer used their own cup. Let pEspresso= the true proportion of customers who drink espresso and use their own cup and pcoffee= the true proportion of customers who drink coffee and use their own cup. Which of the following is the correct standardized test statistic and P-value for the hypotheses, Ho: PEspresso - Pcoftee =0 and H, PEspresso - Pcoft < 0?

The General Social Survey is completed by adults living in the United States. In 2016 and 2018, respondents who were not living with both of their parents were asked why. In 2016 (group 1). 581 out of 1008 said that the reason was that their parents were divorced or separated. In 2018 (group 2), 483 out of 644 said that the reason was that their parents were divorced or separated. For the alternative hypothesis that there is a difference between the two years (Ha: P2 - P₁ does not equal O), what is the test statistic? Round your answer to two decimal places. Make sure to include a negative sign if appropriate.
A school Psychologist is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's agression depending on if the show is a cartoon or not. Eighty children were recruited and were divided into equal groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non- violent program. Half of the children watched a cartoon while the other half watched a show that was not a cartoon. The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.

In a study carried out among low-income families in the young towns of Detroit, it was found that 30% spent less than $8 weekly on purchasing charcoal and consumed products from soup kitchens. 35% spent $8 to $15 weekly on the purchase of charcoal. 5% spent more than $15 weekly on the purchase of charcoal and consumed products from the soup kitchen. 15% spent more than $15 each week buying coal. Finally, 55% did not consume the products of the soup kitchens.If you randomly choose a low-income familyto. What is the probability that you spend less than $8 weekly on purchasing coal?b.

A researcher working at Hershey's is interested in comparing two new chocolate bars: Chocolate Bar A versus Chocolate Bar B. The researcher expects the bars to be different in how much customers will eat per month. The researcher believes the more candy bars someone eats will indicate which one tastes the best. An experiment is designed to compare the two new bars. The number of candy bars eaten by one group of 8 people in a month is measured with Candy Bar A and then the number of candy bars eaten in the same month by another group of 8 participants is measured with Candy Bar B. Use the data below to determine if there is a difference in the consumption of the two candy bars. Candy Bar A Candy Bar B Number of Candy Bars eaten within a month 10, 30, 5, 35, 60, 3, 20, 30, 28, 27, 26, 27, 17, 25 12, 20 With a = .05, determine the critical value of t* that needs to be employed here. The value of the appropriate of t* is: 2.145 O 1.717 2.064 2.819 2.074 O The correct answer is not listed.
A report described teens' attitudes about traditional media, such as TV, movies, and newspapers. In a representative sample of American teenage girls, 42% said newspapers were boring. In a representative sample of American teenage boys, 45% said newspapers were boring. Sample sizes were not given in the report. A button hyperlink to the SALT program that reads: Use SALT. (a) Suppose that the percentages reported had been based on a sample of 50 girls and 40 boys. Is there convincing evidence that the proportion of those who think that newspapers are boring is different for teenage girls and boys? Carry out a hypothesis test using ? = 0.05. (Use pgirls − pboys.) Find the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) z = Find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) P-value = State your conclusion. Reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the proportion of girls who say that newspapers are boring is different from the proportion of boys who…
