The proportion of adults living in a small town who are college graduates is estimated to be p = 0.8. To test this hypothesis a random sample of 12 adults is selected. The fail to reject zone is defined as 8 < x < 10, where x is the number of college graduates in the sample.

A pharmaceutical company makes tranquilizers. It is assumed that the distribution for the length of time they last is approximately normal. Researchers in a hospital used the drug on a random sample of 9 patients. The effective period of the tranquilizer for each patient (in hours) was as follows: 2.6; 2.8; 3.0; 2.3; 2.3; 2.2; 2.8; 2.1; and 2.4.NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Part (a)
A random sample of medical files is used to estimate the proportion p of all people who haveblood type B. If you have no preliminary estimate for p, how many medical files should youinclude in a random sample in order to be 99% sure that the point estimate will be within adistance of 0.04 from p?

What is the P(t > -1.8) with a sample size of 10.
The data in the accompanying table are from a paper. Suppose that each person in a random sample of 49 male students and in a random sample of 88 female students at a particular college was classified according to gender and whether they usually or rarely eat three meals a day. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use SALT. Round your test statistic to three decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)

Assuming that the data are normally distributed, a. Determine the z-score such that the area to its right is 18%. z= b. Determine the z-score such that the area to its left is 91%. z=
Assume that ﬁnal exam scores in a given course are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 10 points. In a class of 200 students, how many would you expect to fail the exam (i.e., score less than 60) (note: scores can only be approximately normally distributed, because the minimum score is 0, but this should not alter the answer, given how large the mean is relative to the standard deviation).
Each observation in a random sample of 98 bicycle accidents resulting in death was classified according to the day of the week on which the accident occurred. Data consistent with information are given in the following table. x² Day of Week Frequency = Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 13 12 12 14 13 18 Based on these data, is it reasonable to conclude that the proportion of accidents is not the same for all days of the week? Use a = 0.05. Calculate the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 16 Use technology to calculate the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) P-value = State the conclusion in the problem context. O Reject Ho. We have convincing evidence that the proportion of accidents is not the same for all days of the week. O Fail to reject Ho. We have convincing evidence that the proportion of accidents is not the same for all days of the week. ● Fail to reject Ho. We do not have convincing evidence that the proportion…
A political newspaper, Politically Sound, is interested in the distances voters in Rising Falls County live from their nearest polling station. Politically Sound has hired you to estimate the population mean of all such distances for voters in this county. To estimate this population mean, you select a random sample of 17 Rising Falls County voters and record the distance (in km) each voter lives from their nearest polling station. Assume the population is approximately normally distributed. Based on your sample, follow the steps below to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean of all the distances voters in Rising Falls County live from their nearest polling station. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample. Take Sample Number of voters 17 Sample mean 4.757 Sample standard deviation 2.363 Enter the values of the sample size, the point estimate of the mean, the sample standard deviation, and the…
Refer to the figure at the right. At a= 0.10, can you reject the claim that the proportion of 18 to 24-year-olds living in their parents' homes in 2000 was the same for men and women? Assume the survey included a random sample of 270 men and 278 women. Percentage of 18- to 24-year olds living in parents' homes 70, 60.4% 45% 54.6% 50.3% 2000 2012 Men Women Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. O B. Ho: P, * P2 Ha: P1 = P2 OD. Ho: P1 > P2 YA. Ho: P1 = P2 H3: P, * P2 OC. Ho: P, P2 Ha: P, SP2 Find the critical value(s). The critical value(s) is(are). (Round to two decimal places as needed.
