The national average SAT score is roughly 1500. We would like to see if the high school seniors who apply to Duke have higher than average SAT scores. We randomly sample 100 applicants' files and re their SAT scores. Which of the following is the correct set of hypotheses for this research question?

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?
answer all parts please
A researcher takes a sample of 50 individuals and administers a background check to identify the number of prior arrests for each person. For whatever reason, one person is removed from the analysis and another random person is selected to replace that person. Having no additional information, what is your best guess of the number of prior arrests experienced by the replacement person? Why?
Please see picture. Need this asap please and thank you.
Suppose we wanted to compare the average BMI of a sample of Charleston County residents to the average BMI of US adults (u-26.5). Use the data in the table below to conduct the appropriate hypothesis test to see if the average BMI of our sample of Charleston County residents is significantly different than the US adult average. CHS Sample BMI 25.3 27.5 24.2 27.5 28.6 28.6 24.2 22 23.1 29.7 20.9 25.3 26.4 22 29.7 28.6 26.4 24.2 20.9 25.3 What is the value for the test statistic? (round to two decimal places)
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.

Your statistics instructor claims that 60 percent of the students who take her Elementary Statistics class go through life feeling more enriched. For some reason that she can't quite figure out, most people don't believe her. You decide to check this out on your own. You randomly survey 64 of her past Elementary Statistics students and find that 35 feel more enriched as a result of her class. Now, what do you think? Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. Note: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Part (a) Part (b) Part (c) Part (d) Part (e) Part (f) Part (g) Part (h) Part (i) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion. Sketch the graph of the situation.

Previous research showed that 15% percent of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 smoke. A study was conducted to examine the current proportion of US teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 who smoke. A survey asked a random sample of 785 teenagers between the ages of 13 to 17 if they smoke. 71 of the surveyed teenagers responded that they smoke. The information above is for the question below.
It's important to understand that hypothesis testing is just how statisticians (by "statisticians" I mean people who are working with data, e.g. analysts, auditors, economists, whoever) answer quanitative questions. We intuitively know that not much is truly certain, and that it's really hard (if not impossible) to collect data on everything we are curious about. So we use samples and try to extrapolate to a larger population. For this discussion, I would like each of you to come up with your own interesting hypothesis test. So, you will do the following: 1) Explain the context or story for which you have a problem stats might be able to help with. 2) Come up with the null and alternative hypotheses. This can be in words, or numbers, or a combination of both (I'll give an example below). 3) Explain where/how you might collect data to reach a conclusion for the test. 4) (RESPONSE) When you respond to someone else's post, I want you to critique their test and data. If you can, suggest a…
Your statistics instructor claims that 60 percent of the students who take her Elementary Statistics class go through life feeling more enriched. For some reason that she can’t quite figure out, most people don’t believe her. You decide to check this out on your own. You randomly survey 64 of her past Elementary Statistics students and find that 34 feel more enriched as a result of her class. Now, what do you think? Solve the following problems using the steps in conducting hypothesis tests.
