### Hypothesis Testing for Proportion of Voters Preferring Candidate A**Problem Statement:**You are conducting a study to determine if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly more than 0.16. You are using a significance level of \(\alpha = 0.01\).**Hypotheses:**- \(H_0\): \(p = 0.16\)- \(H_1\): \(p > 0.16\)**Sample Data:**- Sample size (\(n\)) = 621- Number of successes (voters preferring Candidate A) = 104**Tasks:**1. **Calculate the Test Statistic:** - Formula for the test statistic (z) for proportions: \[ z = \frac{\hat{p} - p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1 - p_0)}{n}}} \] - Where: - \(\hat{p}\) = sample proportion = \(\frac{104}{621}\) - \(p_0\) = hypothesized population proportion = 0.16 - Substitute in the appropriate values and calculate the test statistic. Report the answer accurate to three decimal places.2. **Determine the p-value:** - The p-value is the probability that the observed sample proportion would be as extreme or more extreme than what was observed, given that the null hypothesis is true. - Use standard normal distribution tables or software to find the p-value corresponding to the calculated test statistic. - Report the p-value accurate to four decimal places.3. **Comparison with Significance Level (\(\alpha\)):** - The p-value is either: - less than (or equal to) \(\alpha\) - greater than \(\alpha\)4. **Decision on Null Hypothesis:** - Based on the p-value and the significance level (\(\alpha\)), decide whether to: - reject the null hypothesis - accept the null hypothesis - fail to reject the null hypothesis5. **Final Conclusion:** - Analyze the context and make a conclusion regarding the claim. Possible conclusions: - There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is more than 0.16. - There is not sufficient evidence to warrant

An educational psychologist studies the effect of frequent testing on retention of class material. In one section of an introductory course, students are given quizzes each week. A second section of the same course receives only two tests during the semester. At the end of the semester, both sections receive the same final exam, and the scores are summarized below. Frequent Quizzes Two Exams n = 20 n = 20 M = 73 M = 68 A. If the first sample variance is s2 = 38 and the second sample has s2 = 42, do the data indicate that testing frequency has a significant effect on performance? Use a two- tailed test at the .05 level of significance. (Note: Because the two sample are the same size, the pooled variance is simply the average of the two sample variances.) tcritical…

In a fishing lodge brochure, the lodge advertises that 75% of its guests catch northern pike over 20 pounds. Suppose that last summer 71 out of a random sample of 86 guests did, in fact, catch northern pike weighing over 20 pounds. Does this indicate that the population proportion of guests who catch pike over 20 pounds is different from 75% (either higher or lower)? Use ? = 0.05. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses.

Julius has conducted a very small study of the amount of sleep his dorm mates get each night. He believes that those who are on one of the school’s sports teams will get more sleep (measured in hours per night) than those who are not. Julius surveyed 12 people. Of these, 6 played on a sports team and 6 did not. The descriptive statistics from his survey are given below.
