Chapter 10, Problem 78CR
Duck hunting in populated areas faces opposition on the basis of safety and environmental issues. In a survey to assess public opinion regarding duck hunting on Morro Bay (located along the central coast of California), a random sample of 750 local residents included 560 who strongly opposed hunting on the bay. Does this sample provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the majority of local residents oppose hunting on Morro Bay? Test the relevant hypotheses using α = 0.01.

The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period,
approximately 9.2% of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a
survey of 2000 people in a certain city, 11.6% of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness.
Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that city suffering from
depression or a depressive illness is more than the 9.2% in the general adult American population. Test the
relevant hypotheses using a 10% level of significance. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places.

As a result of dog breeding for certain physical traits, many dog breeds have changed in the last 100 years. A dog breeder wants to measure the effects of breeding on the face length of the boxer breed using a hypothesis test. Suppose that the dog breeder has face length measurements (in inches) from a random sample of 40 female boxer dogs taken in 1915 and a random sample of 40 female boxer dogs taken in 2015.
Which type of hypothesis test should the breeder use?

- The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any two-year period, approximately 10.5percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 150 people in a certain town, eight of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness.

According to an online article, a report from a mobile research company indicates that 38% of Chinese mobile web users only access the internet through their cell phones. We wish to conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence that the proportion of Americans who only use their cell phones to access the internet is less than the Chinese proportion of 38%. (a) The standard error based on the null hypothesis is:_______ (b) Our data indicates a proportion of Americans who use their phones to browse is p-hat=0.16 . We need to use this to find a test statistic (in this case called a z-score).

- A researcher is wondering whether the drinking habits of adults in a certain region of a country are different than those in the general adult population. Suppose a recent study states that the proportion of adults in the general population who reported drinking once a week or less in the last month is 0.26. The null hypothesis for this test is p = 0.26 and the alternative hypothesis is p+ 0.26. The researcher collected data from 150 surveys he handed out at a busy park located in the region. Are the conditions for proceeding with a one-proportion z-test satisfied? If not, which condition is not satisfied? O a. Conditions are not satisfied; the researcher did not collect a random sample. O b. Conditions are not satisfied; the population of interest is not large enough to assume independence. Oc. Conditions are not satisfied; the sample size is not large enough. O d. All conditions are satisfied.arrow_forwardBenzene is a pollutant that, according to studies, can be associated with health problems. Benzene is found in air, water, and soil and comes from both industrial and natural sources. Benzene levels in indoor air are generally higher than outdoors. The main source of benzene in indoor air appears to be tobacco smoke, thus the combustion of tobacco is a major source of pollution. Benzene levels are measured in a random sample of 36 bars in a city, obtaining an average benzene level of 19.2 mg / m3, with a standard deviation of 2.1 mg / m3. Estimate the mean benzene level in bars in this city using a 95% confidence interval.
