A decade-old study found that the proportion, p, of high school seniors who believed that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 70%. A researcher decides to test whether or not that percentage still stands. He finds that, among the 245 high school seniors in his random sample, 160 believe that "getting ich" is an important goal. Can he conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the proportion has indeed changed? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁. Ho :O H₁:0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) ▼ (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) 3 H Ix 19. ☐☐ a S ☐ OSO < Р

A recent study of 1000 high school juniors and seniors asked whether or not they felt smartphones are a valuable learning tool. Additional data were gathered on their smartphone plan (unlimited data, additional texting, or standard voice plan) and which class they were in (junior vs. senior). Which of the following is a correct pair of hypotheses the researchers could test? (A) Ho: The proportion of juniors and seniors who feel smartphones are a valuable learning tool is the same for students that have each type of plan. Ha: The proportion of juniors and seniors who feel smartphones are a valuable learning tool is not the same for students that have each type of plan (B) Ho: The proportion of students who feel smartphones are a valuable learning tool is the same for students that have each type of plan. Ha: The proportion of students who feel smartphones are a valuable learning tool is not the same for students that have each type of plan. (C) Ho: There is an association between class…
A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 80%. After making some recent changes, the marriage counselor now claims that her program can prevent divorce in more than 80% of married couples. In a random sample of 215 married couples who completed her program, 180 of them stayed together. Based on this sample, is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. A. State the null hypothesis Hoand the alternative hypothesis H1. Ho: H1: B. Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) C. Find the critical value. (Round to three or more decimal places.) D. Is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor's claim that the proportion of married couples for whom her program…
A manufacturer of laptop computers claims that only 1% of their computers are defective. In a sample of 600 computers, it was found that 3% were defective. If the proportion of defectives were really only 1%, there would be than 1 chance in 1000 of getting such a large proportion of defective laptops in the sample. Is there statistically significant evidence against the manufacturer's claim? Why or Why not?
A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 79%.

A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 77%.

A recent Gallup Poll interviewed a random sample of 1523 adults. Of these, 868 bought a lottery tickets in the past year. Suppose that in fact (unknown to Gallup) exactly 60% of all adults bought a lottery ticket in the past year. If Gallup took many simple random samples of 1,523 people, the sample proportion who bought a ticket would vary from sample to sample. The sampling distribution would be close to normal with a mean of 0.6 and a standard deviation of___ A)0.4899 B)0.0251 C)0.00016 D)0.0126
one- Oishi and Schimmack (2010) report that people who move from home to home frequently as children tend to have lower than average levels of well-being as adults. To further examine this relationship, a psychol- ogist obtains a sample of n = 12 young adults who each experienced 5 or more different homes before they were 16 years old. These participants were given
The dataset "nurses" is a random sample of 1,000 cases from “Health Care Provider Credential Data” from Washington State Open Data Portal. In the sample, there are 418 CNA's and 278 of the CNA's have expired credentials. Use the statistics from the nurses dataset to answer the following question: "With 90% confidence, what percent of all CNA's on Washington State's healthcare provider list are expired?"
A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 75%.
