The Bangor Humane Society tracks cat adoptions closely, and in the past has seen 60% of people who come in to look at cats end up adopting cats. They want to know if that percentage has decreased with the social distancing measures in place. Their hypotheses are: Ho: p 2 .60 and Ha: p < .60. Which of the following hypothesis tests would be correct to use in this situation? Check all that apply. O Use a test of means with a test statistic of T. O Use a test of means with a test statistic of Z. O Use a test of proportions with a test-statistic of Z.

Perform the following hypothesis test of a proportion: HO: p = 0.33 HA: p 0.33 The sample proportion is 0.31 based on a sample size of 100. Use a 10% significance level. What is the value of the test statistic? (Give your answer rounded to 2 decimals) (Be careful to make sure your + or - sign is correct)
Which statistical test should be used? Researchers wondered if frequent checking of email increases stress. They randomly assigned their participants to check email just three times a day for a week, and then in the second week, to check email as often as they wanted. The researchers did find that participants were less stressed, on average, during the limited email week than during the unlimited email week. Which statistical test should be used? A professor was interested in studying how academic major (Psychology vs. Chemistry) is related to creativity (assessed by a creativity questionnaire). Which statistical test should be used to for a difference between psychology and chemistry majors in creativity?
Please see below. Only given one attempt at this. People who sustain a concussion or a traumatic brain injury (TBI) are likely to experience sleep problems. Do these problems persist over time? Researchers recruited a sample of 31 patients who had their first TBI 18 months earlier and a control group of 42 otherwise similar individuals without prior TBIs. They compared sleep duration per 24 hours for the 2 groups. Which test is most appropriate for this scenario? A 2-sample test for means B 1-sample z-test for proportions C 2-sample test for proportions D matched-pairs E 1-sample t-test for means
Tourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida. Hotel occupancy is an often-reported measure of visitor volume and visitor activity (Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2018). Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows. Current Year Previous Year Occupied Rooms 1,435 1,501 Total Rooms 1,750 1,900 a. Formulate the hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether there has been an increase in the proportion of rooms occupied over the one-year period. Let pi = population proportion of rooms occupied for current year P2 = population proportion of rooms occupied for previous year Ho : P1 – P2 less than or equal to 0 Ha : Pi – P2 greater than 0 b. What is the estimated proportion of hotel rooms occupied each year (to 2 decimals)? Current year Previous Year c. Conduct a hypothesis test. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? Use Table 1 from Appendix B. p-value
According to the Pew Research Center, 14% of adults rate basketball as their favorite sport. Your boss believes the proportion may be lower among adults over age 65, and wants you to collect evidence to see if this is true. You take a survey of adults over age 65, and only 12 out of 120 of them rate basketball as their favorite sport. You would like to set �=0.05. Your boss tells you that your firm will base some expensive decisions on the results of your hypothesis test, so a higher standard of evidence for rejecting the null hypothesis is needed. What should you do? Group of answer choices Keep the significance level the same but collect more data Increase the significance level to 10% Reduce the significance level to 1% Throw out observations that look suspicious thanks
OBFW Publishers A state's Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) claims that 60% of all teens pass their driving test on the first attempt. An investigative reporter examines an SRS of the DMV records for 125 teens; 86 of them passed the test on their first try. A hypothesis test of Ho: P = 0.60 Ha:p # 0.60 where p = the true proportion of teens who pass their driving test on the first attempt using a = 0.05 gives a P-value of 0.0444. A 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of teens who pass the driving test on the first attempt is 0.607 to 0.769. Which is the following statements is not true with regards to the 95% confidence interval provided and the result of the hypothesis test? OA two-sided test only allows us to reject (or fail to reject) a hypothesized value for a particular population parameter. The value 0.60 is not a plausible value because it falls outside the 95% confidence interval. The 95% confidence interval provided gives an approximate set of po's that would not be…

A newsletter publisher believes that 48 % of their readers own a laptop. A testing firm believes this is inaccurate and performs a test to dispute the publisher's claim. After performing a test at the 0.10 level of significance, the testing firm fails to reject the null hypothesis. What is the conclusion regarding the publisher’s claim?
A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.
