Your local school board wants to determine the proportion of people who plan on voting for the school levy in the upcoming election. They conduct a random phone poll, where they contact 150 individuals and ask them whether or not they plan on voting for the levy. Of these 150 respondents, 78 people say they plan on voting for the levy. The school board wants to determine whether or not the data supports the idea that more than 50% of people plan on voting for the levy. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.10 significance level to test this claim. What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis? What is the significance level? What is the value of the test statistic? Report your answer to two decimal places. What is the p-value? Report your answer to four decimal places. What is the correct decision? What is the appropriate conclusion? How many of the three conditions/assumptions are met?

The owners of a supermarket chain are looking into the effectiveness of the supermarket's loyalty card program. Specifically, they would like to know if the percentage of shoppers in their stores who use the loyalty card has changed from 63% in 2014. Chloe works in the marketing department of the chain and is assigned to answer the owners' inquiry. She randomly selects 196 customers from various stores in the chain and finds that 114 use the loyalty card. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test? Select the correct answer below: Ho: p-0.63 Ha: p>0.63 Ho : p-0.63 : 0.63 Ha:p0.63 Ho: p: 063 H: p0.63
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 36 feel more enriched as a result of her class. Now, what do you think? Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. a. What is the test statistic? b. What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) c. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion. Sketch the graph of the situation. Label the point estimate and the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
In the Star and Tribune newspaper, there is an article entitled “1 in 8 school buses fail tests." The article says that the overall statewide proportion of school buses that fail safety tests is 9%. However, one bus company has a higher rate of over 12%. Assume that we want a new estimate for the statewide proportion of school buses that fail the safety inspection. We take a sample of 200 buses and find that 20 buses fail the safety inspection. If we construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of all Minnesota school buses that fail the safety tests, what is the upper limit of the interval? (Enter you answer including 3 decimal positions, e.g. .234)
The magazine Tech Worx reported that 89% of software engineers rate the company they work for as "a great place to work." As a veteran headhunter with extensive experience in the tech industry, you claim the percentage given in the report is not correct. You will test your claim by performing a hypothesis test. To do so, you survey 225 randomly chosen software engineers. Of those surveyed, 216 rated the company they work for as "a great place to work."
Your local school board wants to determine the proportion of people who plan on voting for the school levy in the upcoming election. They conduct a random phone poll, where they contact 150 individuals and ask them whether or not they plan on voting for the levy. Of these 150 respondents, 78 people say they plan on voting for the levy. The school board wants to determine whether or not the data supports the idea that more than 50% of people plan on voting for the levy. Calculate the p-value for the one-sided Hypothesis test described in this example. (Hint: Find the test statistic and then use the tables to find the p-value.) 0.20 < p-value < 0.30 0.6879 0.3121 greater than 0.5 0.4899
In order to estimate the proportion of students at a small liberal arts college who watch reality TV for more than 4 hours per week, a random sample of students at the school is selected and each is interviewed about his or her reality TV viewing habits. The students conducting the survey are worried that people that watch reality TV might be embarrassed to admit it and that they may not respond to the survey with honest answers. What type of bias are the students conducting the survey worried about? Measurement or response bias They shouldn't worry--there is no obvious source of bias. Selection bias Nonresponse bias
Determine if the survey question is biased. If the question is biased, suggest a better wording. How often do you eat vegetables during an average month? Is the question biased? OA. Yes, because it does not lead the respondent to any particular answer. A better question would be "Why is eating vegetables good for you?" OB. Yes, because it influences the respondent into thinking that eating vegetables is good for you. A better question would be "Do you think that eating vegetables is good for you?" OC. No, because it influences the respondent into thinking that eating vegetables is good for you. OD. No, because it does not lead the respondent to any particular answer.
Last year, the proportion of tax filers that received a refund was 25%. An accountant believes this upcoming tax year will have a smaller proportion of tax refunds than the proportion from last year. Interested in studying this further, the accountant samples a few of their clients and determines the proportion that receive a refund for this upcoming tax year is 19%. As the accountant sets up a hypothesis test to determine if their belief about this upcoming tax year is correct, what is the accountant's claim?
One of the questions in a study of marital satisfaction of dual-career couples was to rate the statement, "I'm pleased with the way we divide the responsibilities for childcare." The ratings went from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree). The table below contains ten of the paired responses for wives and husbands. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level to see if wife's satisfaction levels are lower than their husband's satisfaction level (meaning that, within the partnership, the husband is happier than the wife). Wife's score 3 2 3 3 4 2 1 1 2 4 Husband's score 2 2 1 3 2 1 1 1 2 4 NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Part (a) State the null hypothesis. H0: ?d = 0 H0: ?d > 0 H0: ?d < 0 H0: ?d ≠ 0 Part (b) State the alternative hypothesis. Ha: ?d > 0 Ha:…

Last year, 41% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners conducted this year indicates that 32% planned to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 55 business owners. Suppose the business owners in the sample do as they plan. Conduct a hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts had decreased from last year. State the hypotheses.
