A direct mail appeal for contributions from a university’s alumni and supporters is considered to be too costly if less than 13% of the alumni and supporters provide monetary contributions. To determine if a direct mail appeal is cost effective, the fundraising director sends the direct mail brochures to a simple random sample of 204 people on the alumni and supporters mailing lists. They receive monetary contributions from 19 people. Does this evidence demonstrate that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective? Use a 0.02 level of significance. Step 3 of 3 : Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision. A. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is suficient evidence at 0.02 level of significance that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective. B. We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is suficient evidence at 0.02 level of significance that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective. C. We fail to reject the null hypothesis and…
Assume that adults were randomly selected for a poll. They were asked if they "favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos." Of those polled, 490 were in favor, 400 were opposed, and 118 were unsure. A politician claims that people don't really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin toss. Exclude the 118 subjects who said that they were unsure, and use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5. What does the result suggest about the politician's claim? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: p#0.5 H1:p=0.5 О В.

The mayor of a town wants to propose a plan for the annexation of a new community. The mayor would like to know if the majority of the residents favor the annexation before calling a formal referendum on the topic. A research company was hired to survey a sample of residents to determine their views on the annexation. The researchers randomly selected 850 residents and found that 50.8% favored the annexation. Determine if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that a majority of residents favor the annexation of the new community at the 1% level of significance. Step 5 of 5: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
A direct mail appeal for contributions from a university’s alumni and supporters is considered to be too costly if less than 15% of the alumni and supporters provide monetary contributions. To determine if a direct mail appeal is cost effective, the fundraising director sends the direct mail brochures to a simple random sample of 173 people on the alumni and supporters mailing lists. They receive monetary contributions from 18 people. Does this evidence demonstrate that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective? Use a 0.02 level of significance.

A direct mail appeal for contributions from a university’s alumni and supporters is considered to be too costly if less than 14% of the alumni and supporters provide monetary contributions. To determine if a direct mail appeal is cost effective, the fundraising director sends the direct mail brochures to a simple random sample of 206 people on the alumni and supporters mailing lists. They receive monetary contributions from 21 people. Does this evidence demonstrate that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective? Use a 0.10 level of significance.Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Assume that adults were randomly selected for a poll. They were asked if they "favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos." Of those polled, 484 were in favor, 399 were opposed, and 121 were unsure. A politician claims that people don't really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin toss. Exclude the 121 subjects who said that they were unsure, and use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5. What does the result suggest about the politician's claim? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: p=0.5 H₁: p > 0.5 B.

Prospective drivers who enrol in Smart Driver Driving School have always been taught by a conventional teaching method. The driving school has many branches across provinces. Last year, among all students that took driving lessons from the school in a certain province, 80% passed the provincial road test. This year, the teaching committee came up with a new teaching method. The committee randomly assigned half of its 2400 students enrolled this year to receive the conventional teaching method and the remaining half to receive the new teaching method. In a random sample of 100 students who received the conventional teaching method, 78% passed the road test. Part i) To test if the passing rate has decreased from last year for students who received the conventional teaching method, what will be the null hypothesis? A. The proportion of 100 students who received the conventional teaching method and subsequently passed the road test this year equals 0.78.B. The proportion of 1200 students…
