Chapter 11, Problem 6RE
A random sample of n1 = 555 individuals results in x1 = 451 successes. An independent sample of n2 = 600 individuals results in x2 = 510 successes. Does this represent sufficient evidence to conclude that p1 ≠ p2 at the α = 0.05 level of significance?

In 2010, 36% of adults in a certain country were morbidly obese. A health practitioner suspects that the percent has changed since then. She obtains a random sample of 1042 adults and finds that 393 are morbidly obese. Is this sufficient evidence to support the practitioner's claim at the α = 0.1 level of significance?
A random sample of n1=135 individuals results in x1=40 successes. An independent sample of n2=160 individuals results in x2=60 successes. Does this represent sufficient evidence to conclude that p1<p2 at the α=0.05 level of significance?
P value :
An article in the newspaper claims that 60% of registered drivers have the organ donor designation on their driver's license. A researcher at a hospital decides to investigate this claim. The researcher selects a random sample of 50 registered drivers and finds that 44.0% have the organ donor designation on their driver's license.
Do the data provide convincing evidence at the ?α = 0.05 level that fewer than 60% of registered drivers have the organ donor designation on their license?

- A social worker in a certain city claimed that only 25% of the children between 19 and 35 months had not had all of their vaccines. You believe the percentage is higher. In order to test the social worker’s claim, you contact 145 families that have a child between 19 and 35 months and find that 44 of the children had not had all of their vaccines.
