Suppose an experiment is done with criminals released from prison in a certain state where the recidivism rate is 32%; that is, 32% of criminals return to prison within three years. One hundred random prisoners are made to attend a "boot camp" for two weeks before their release, and it is hoped that "boot camp" will have a good effect. Suppose 27 of those prisoners retum to prison within three years. The null hypothesis is that those attending boot camp have a recidivism rate of 32%, p = 0.32. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. What is p, the sample proportion of successes? (It is somewhat odd to call returning to prison a success.) p= (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. What is Po, the hypothetical proportion of success under the null hypothesis? Po =0.32| (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

In a previous poll, 35% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose that, in a more recent poll, 1175 adults with children under the age of 18 were selected at random, and 392 of those 1175 adults reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner. together seven nights a week has decreased? Use the a = 0.1 significance level.

A local school board wants to estimate the difference in the proportion of households with school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier, and the proportion of households without school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier. They survey a random sample of 40 households with school-aged children about whether they would support starting the school year a week earlier, and 30 households respond yes. They survey a random sample of 45 households that do not have school-aged children, and 25 respond yes. Assuming the conditions for inference have been met, what is the 90% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of households that would support starting the school year a week earlier?
A local school board believes there is a difference in the proportion of households with school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier, and the proportion of households without school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier.

The cost of attending your college has once again gone up. Although you have been told that education is investment in human capital, which carries a return of roughly 10% a year, you (and your parents) are not pleased. One of the administrators at your university/college does not make the situation better by telling you that you pay more because the reputation of your institution is better than that of others. To investigate this hypothesis, you collect data randomly for 100 national universities and liberal arts colleges from the 2000-2001 U.S. News and World Report annual rankings. Next you perform the following regression Cost = 7,311.17 +3,985.20 × Reputation - 0.20 × Size +8,406.79 x Dpriv-416.38 × Dlibart-2,376.51 x Dreligion (2,058.63) (664.58) (0.13) (2,154.85) R² = 0.72, SER = 3,773.35 where Cost is Tuition, Fees, Room and Board in dollars, Reputation is the index used in U.S. News and World Report (based on a survey of university presidents and chief academic officers),…

Historically, the proportion of students entering a university who finished in 4 years or less was 65%. To test whether this proportion has decreased, 150 students were examined and 58% had finished in 4 years or less. At the 5% level of significance, does it appear the proportion has decreased from its historical level? To determine whether the proportion of students who finish in 4 year or less has statistically significantly decreased, what is the null and alternative hypothesis?
The National Academy of Science reported that 41% of research in mathematics is published by US authors. The mathematics chairperson of a prestigious university wishes to test the claim that this percentage is no longer 41%. He has no indication of whether the percentage has increased or decreased since that time. He surveys a simple random sample of 186 recent articles published by reputable mathematics research journals and finds that 92 of these articles have US authors. Does this evidence support the mathematics chairperson’s claim that the percentage is no longer 41%? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

A researcher is creating a new treatment protocol for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a form of preleukemia. Following the old treatment protocol, 28% of patients with MDS will develop leukemia within 5 years of MDS diagnosis. He believes his new treatment protocol will lead to fewer MDS patients developing leukemia. He takes a random sample of 100 individuals on his new treatment protocol. Of these 100 individuals, 20 develop leukemia within 5 years of MDS diagnosis. In questions 8-9, create a 98% confidence interval for the true proportion of all MDS patients on this new treatment who will develop leukemia within 5 years of MDS diagnosis. What is the confidence interval? Do not round your answer. What is the interpretation of your confidence interval?
A news article estimated that only 6% of those ages 65 and older who prefer to watch the news, rather than to read or listen, watch the news online. This estimate was based on a survey of a large sample of adult Americans. Consider the population consisting of all adult Americans ages 65 and older who prefer to watch the news, and suppose that for this population the actual proportion who prefer to watch online is 0.06. (a) A random sample of n = 100 people will be selected from this population and p̂, the proportion of people who prefer to watch online, will be calculated. What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p̂? (Round your standard deviation to four decimal places.) meanstandard deviation (b) Is the sampling distribution of p̂ approximately normal for random samples of size n = 100? Explain.

Suppose we are developing a new drug that is supposed to improve the recovery time of an illness. We want to investigate if this is true. We conduct an experiment: we randomize twenty participants into two groups of size n = 10 each. In one group, we give the participants the drug. In the other group, we give them a placebo. We measure the recovery time of the participants in days. We observe the following data: • In the group given the drug, we observe recovery times (yı,..., Y10) = (15, 10, 13, 7,9, 8, 21,9, 14, 8), with ĝ1 = 11.4. • In the group given the placebo, we observe recovery times (yı1,..., Y20) = (15, 14, 12, 8, 14, 7, 16, 10, 15, 12) with j2 = 12.3. Assume that the data in each group follow Normal(µ1,0²) and Normal(42, o²) distributions respec- tively for the drug and placebo groups, o2 15. We want to test the following hypothesis: Ho : µ1 – 12 = 0 versus HA: µ1 – 42 < 0, using the test statistic T(Y) = Y1 – Ý2. a) Define the rejection region as {y : ĝı – 2 < c1} where ci…
