After reading an article using research done by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) based in France, a statistics student decided to conduct his own study to see if the figures in the article were accurate. This article stated that 37% of email users said spam has increased in their personal email accounts and 29% said it has increased in their work email accounts. To test the first figure, let p be the proportion of email users who feel that spam has increased in their personal email. The first set of hypotheses that the student wants to test is then: Ho: p = 0.37 Ha: p ≠ 0.37 Based upon the data collected by this student, a 95% confidence interval for p was found to be: (0.25, 0.32). At the 0.05 level of significance, which conclusion can be made? a. The student cannot reject Ho, since 0.37 does not fall within the limits of the interval. b. The student can reject Ho, since 0.37 falls within the limits of the interval.…
An airline claims that luggage is rarely lost (does not arrive at the destination at the same time as the passenger). The airline claims that if luggage is lost, in 87% of cases the airline is able to recover and deliver the luggage within 24 hours. A consumer watchdog group found a random sample of 125 people whose luggage was lost and found that 99 of them had their luggage recovered and returned within 24 hours. The Sample proportion p-hat is 99/125 = 0.792. The watchdog group wants to perform a hypothesis test against the claim that the airline is able to recover 87% of lost luggage in 24 hours. If the null hypothesis is true, the sampling distribution of p-hat can be modeled with a normal distribution. What is the Standard Error of this normal distribution? (Round to three places after the decimal.)
In a National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism survey, 33% of American adults said that they had never consumed alcohol. Suppose that this result is true for the 2019 population of American adults. In a recent random sample of 2300 adult Americans, 35% said that they had never consumed alcohol. Test the hypothesis that the current percentage of American adults who have never consumed alcohol is different from 33%. What is the test statistic?

A research study was conducted about gender differences in "sexting." The researcher believed that the proportion of girls involved in “sexting” is less than the proportion of boys involved. The data collected in the spring of 2010 among a random sample of middle and high school students in a large school district in the southern United States is summarized in Table. Is the proportion of girls sending sexts less than the proportion of boys "sexting?" Test at a 1% level of significance. Table 2: Frequency of "sexts" sent by gender Gender Males Females Sent "sexts" 183 156 Total number surveyed 2231 2169
Labor Day was created by the U.S. labor movement over 100 years ago. It was subsequently adopted by most states as an official holiday. In a poll by Gallup, 1000 randomly selected adults were asked whether they approve of labor unions; 650 said yes. In 1936, about 72% of Americans approved of labor unions. At a 5% level of significance, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of Americans who approve of labor unions now has decreased since 1936? Solve using the critical-value approach. a. Define the parameter we are testing and setup a hypothesis test to see if less than 72% of Americans approve of labor unions currently. b. Calculate the test statistics for this hypothesis test. c. What is the critical value for this hypothesis test?
Sleep apnea is a condition in which the sufferers stop breathing momentarily while they are asleep. This condition results in lack of sleep and extreme fatigue during waking hours. A current estimate is that 9.79.7 million out of the 312.7312.7 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, or approximately 3.1%3.1%. A safety commission is concerned about the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea. They do not have any reason to believe that it would be higher or lower than the population’s percentage. To test the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 3.1%3.1%, a simple random sample of 406406 commercial truck drivers is examined by a medical expert, who concludes that 55 suffer from sleep apnea. Does this evidence support the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 3.1%3.1%? Use a 0.050.05 level of significance. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the…
Hypertension is when an adult is classified as having high blood pressure (above 130 systolic blood pressure is considered hypertension). Researchers want to know the proportion of adult North Americans (above age of 18) that have hypertension. Based on a study of 3532 adult North Americans, 1219 of them were classified as having hypertension.
I am having trouble solving this problem. Can you please provide me with some help. Thank you. I appreciate it. Peter D. Hart Research Associates conducted a survey of randomly selected U.S. registered votes to explore public opinion on federal funding for stem-cell research. The survey found that 56% of college-educated voters and 48% of voters without a college degree supported such funding. If the samples included 366 college-educated voters and 466 voters without a college degree, can these sample results be used to reject a "no difference in the population proportions" null hypothesis at the 5% significance level?

The Sample proportion p-hat is 99/125 = 0.792. The watchdog group wants to perform a hypothesis test against the claim that the airline is able to recover 87% of lost luggage in 24 hours. What could be used as the null hypothesis for this problem? a. The proportion of luggage recovered in 24 hours is equal to 87%. b. The proportion of luggage recovered in 24 hours is greater than 87%. c. The proportion of luggage recovered in 24 hours is less than 87%. d. The proportion of luggage recovered in 24 hours is equal to 79.2%. e. The proportion of luggage recovered in…
Among college students, the proportion p who say they’re interested in their congressional district’s election results has traditionally been 75%. After a series of debates on campuses, a political scientist claims that the proportion of college students who say they’re interested in their district’s election results is more than 75%. A poll is commissioned, and 210 out of a random sample of 260 college students say they’re interested in their district’s election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist's claim at the 0.10 level of significance?Perform a one-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.

Thirty-two percent of all Americans drink bottled water more than once a week (Natural resources Defense Council, December 4, 2015). Supposeyou have been hired by the Natural Resources Defence Council to investigate bottled water consumption in St. Paul. You plan to select a sampleof St. Paulites to estimate the proportion who drink bottled water more than once a week. Assume the popluation proportion of St. Paulites whodrink bottled water more than once a week is 0.32, the same as the overall proportion of Americans who drink bottled water more than once aweek. Use z-table.a. Suppose you select a sample of 540 St. Paulites. Show the sampling distribution of ē (to 4 decimals).E) .32Op =.0201b. Based upon a sample of 540 St. Paulites, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.01 of the population proportion (to4 decimals).probability = C.

A researcher published this survey result: "74% of people would be willing to spend 10 percent more for energy from a non-polluting source". The survey question was announced on a national radio show and 1200 listeners responded by calling in. Determine whether the study involves selection bias, participation bias, both selection bias and participation bias, or neither. Also describe how the bias would affect the results.
