A publisher reports that 67% of their readers own a particular make of car. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that the percentage is actually different from the reported percentage. A random sample of 250 found that 62% of the readers owned a particular make of car. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
what is HO and HA ?
A publisher reports that 44% of their readers own a particular make of car. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that the percentage is actually different from the reported percentage. A random sample of 260 found that 40% of the readers owned a particular make of car. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
A radio station states that 30% of the songs they play each week are from Canadian artists. A DJ working at the station claims that the actual percentage differs from what the station states. The DJ takes a random sample of 87 songs played during a given week and finds that 28 of them are from Canadian artists. Use this information to answer the questions below.
a. Suppose the DJ wishes to perform a hypothesis test of his claim. Select the most appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test.
H0:p^≠0.3Ha:p^=0.3
H0:x―=0.3Ha:x―≠0.3
H0:μ≠0.3Ha:μ=0.3
H0:p=0.3Ha:p≠0.3
H0:μ=0.3Ha:μ≠0.3
H0:p≠0.3Ha:p=0.3
H0:p^=0.3Ha:p^≠0.3
H0:x―≠0.3Ha:x―=0.3
b. To assess his hypothesis, the DJ wants to compute a bootstrap-based confidence interval from his sample. Which of the following uses of the quantile() function would produce the correct interval bounds for a 96% bootstrap-based confidence interval?
c(quantile(B$mean, 0.04), quantile(B$mean, 0.96))

- An annual survey of first-year college students asks 277,000 students about their attitudes on a variety of subjects. According to a recent survey, 52% of first-year students believe that abortion should be legal. Use a 0.05 significanc level to test the claim that over half of all first-year students believe that abortion should be legal. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. OA. Ho p=0.5 Ha p0.5 example Get more help Clear all Check answer a Q0°C Darthouarrow_forwardLynell is a student at a large state college. She read a magazine article that stated that 9 out of 10 college students, or 90%, prefer face-to-face lecture courses rather than online classes. Lynell thought that this number seemed high. It seemed to her that more than 10% of students prefer online lecture classes because online classes allow for more flexible schedules. To test this claim, Lynell formulated the following null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: p = 0.90 H₁: p < 0.90 The variable p represents the proportion of all students who prefer face-to-face lecture courses to online courses. The alternative hypothesis, H₁, represents her claim that fewer than 90% of students prefer face-to-face classes. Next, she randomly surveyed 275 students at her college, which she took to be a simple random sample of all students attending large state colleges like hers. Her survey results are displayed below.

- According to the Centers of Disease Control, about 9% of Americans between the ages of 12 and 19 have asthma. A student claims that the students in his school differs from the national average, so their proportion of students with asthma is not 9%. Which are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this study? Ho: p = 0.09 Ha: p 0.09 Suppose that the result of the statistical test is to reject Ho. Which is the proper conclusion? O The test has proved that the students at his school have a different proportion of students with asthma. O There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the students at his school have a different proportion of students with asthma. O There is not enough information to answer this question.

This year a survey is conducted with a national sample of 1,505 U.S. adults selected by a combination of landline and cell phone random digit dials. This year's survey finds that 70% of the sample says that "reducing health care costs" is a national priority. We test the following hypotheses: H0H0: The proportion of U.S. adults this year who rate "reducing health care costs" as a national priority is still 0.68. HaHa: The proportion of U.S. adults this year who rate "reducing health care costs" as a national priority is greater than 0.68. The P-value is 0.045. At a 5% significance level, we would reject the null hypothesis and concluded that the proportion of U.S. adults this year who rate "reducing health care costs" as a national priority is greater than 0.68. Explain the P-value in the context of this issue.arrow_forwardAccording to the Centers of Disease Control, about 22% of Armerican young people between the ages of 12 and 19 are obese.
