Your local school board wants to determine the proportion of people who plan on voting for the school levy in the upcoming election. They conduct a random phone poll, where they contact 150 individuals and ask them whether or not they plan on voting for the levy. Of these 150 respondents, 78 people say they plan on voting for the levy. The school board wants to determine whether or not the data supports the idea that more than 50% of people plan on voting for the levy. Calculate the p-value for the one-sided Hypothesis test described in this example. (Hint: Find the test statistic and then use the tables to find the p-value.) 0.20 < p-value < 0.30 0.6879 0.3121 greater than 0.5 0.4899
Exit polling is a popular technique used to determine the outcome of an election prior to results being tallied. Suppose a referendum to increase funding for education is on the ballot in a large town (voting population over 100,000). An exit poll of 200 voters finds that 106 voted for the referendum. How likely are the results of your sample if the population proportion of voters in the town in favor of the referendum is 0.49? Based on your result, comment on the dangers of using exit polling to call elections. How likely are the results of your sample if the population proportion of voters in the town in favor of the referendum is 0.49? The probability that more than 106 people voted for the referendum is 0.12890.1289. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Country Magazine reports that celebrity MySpace accounts have an average of 4 million friends. Celebologist Chuck Norris thinks that it's actually different than that. Norris randomly samples 43 celebrities on MySpace and finds an average of 3 million friends. Which is the best set of hypotheses to test Chuck Norris's claim?
A conservative radio talk show host with a large audience is interested in the proportion p ofadults in his listening area who think the drinking age should be lowered to eighteen. To findthis out, he poses the following question to his listeners: “Do you think that the drinking ageshould be reduced to eighteen in light of the fact that eighteen year‐olds are eligible for militaryservice?” He asks listeners to phone in and vote “Yes” if they agree the drinking age should belowered and “No” if not. Of the 100 people who phoned in, 70 answered “Yes.” a. List one source of sampling bias (i.e. bias based on the people included in the sample). b. List another source of bias (sampling or non-sampling).
2. Toastmasters International cites a report by Gallup Poll that 40% of Americans fear public speaking. A student believes that less than 40% of students at her school fear public speaking. She randomly surveys 361 schoolmates and finds that 137 report they fear public speaking. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level to determine if the percent at her school is less than 40%. a. State the null hypothesis. b. State the alternative hypothesis. c. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion. Sketch the graph of the situation. Label the point estimate and the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Mitt Romney was a presidential candidate in the Novem-ber 2012 U.S. presidential elections and he is a Mormon. The Public Religion Research Institute, during its 2011American Values Survey, asked 1019 random Americansif they would be comfortable with a Mormon serving asPresident. Fifty three percent reported that they wouldbe somewhat or very comfortable with this. Which ofthe following hypotheses should we test to determinewhether the majority of Americans would be somewhator very comfortable with a Mormon serving as president?A) H0 : p = 0.50 HA: p ≠ 0.50B) H0 : p = 0.50 HA: p 6 0.50C) H0 : p = 0.50 HA: p 7 0.50D) H0 : p = 0.53 HA: p 7 0.53E) H0 : pn = 0.53 HA: pn ≠ 0.53(Source: http://publicreligion.org/research/2011/11/2011-american-values-survey/)
In recent years, many states have enacted tougher voter identification laws requiring a government issued photo ID. Proponents claim that these laws are necessary to reduce voter fraud. Opponents claim that voter fraud is rare and that since as many as 11% of eligible voters do not have the required identification, these tougher laws will discourage millions of minorities and low-income Americans from voting. The Washington Post conducted a national poll (July 7-19, 2012) and found that 1558 out of 2064 adults supported the tougher voter ID laws. 1)Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who approve of tougher voter ID laws. Document your work in the space provided below. Document how you computed the margin of error and the confidence interval in the space provided below. Round all numbers to 4 decimal places. 2)Is it likely that three-fourths of adults approve of these new laws?
One of the questions in a study of marital satisfaction of dual-career couples was to rate the statement, "I'm pleased with the way we divide the responsibilities for childcare." The ratings went from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree). The table below contains ten of the paired responses for wives and husbands. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level to see if wife's satisfaction levels are lower than their husband's satisfaction level (meaning that, within the partnership, the husband is happier than the wife). Wife's score 3 2 3 3 4 2 1 1 2 4 Husband's score 2 2 1 3 2 1 1 1 2 4 NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Part (a) State the null hypothesis. H0: ?d = 0 H0: ?d > 0 H0: ?d < 0 H0: ?d ≠ 0 Part (b) State the alternative hypothesis. Ha: ?d > 0 Ha:…
Minnesota had the highest turnout rate of any state for the 2016 presidential election.† Political analysts wonder if turnout in rural Minnesota was higher than turnout in the urban areas of the state. A sample shows that 627 of 836 registered voters from rural Minnesota voted in the 2016 presidential election, while 414 out of 575 registered voters from urban Minnesota voted. (a) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses that can be used to test whether registered voters in rural Minnesota were more likely than registered voters in urban Minnesota to vote in the 2016 presidential election. (Let p1 = the population proportion of voters in rural Minnesota who voted in the 2016 election and p2 = the population proportion of voters in urban Minnesota who voted in the 2016 election.) (b) What is the proportion of sampled registered voters in rural Minnesota that voted in the 2016 presidential election? (c) What is the proportion of sampled registered voters in urban…
