You watch people exiting Dodgers stadium after a game and you write down the number of males and the number of females that exit the stadium past you during the 20 minutes that you spend watching. You assumed that there would be a perfectly equal number of males and females attending a Dodgers game, but you look at the number of males and females that you actually counted, and you see if you still think that is actually true. What kind of hypothesis test would allow you to do this?
a. One-Factor, Independent-Measures ANOVA b. Two-Factor ANOVA c. Correlation/Regression d. Chi-Square Goodness of Fit
Identify the null and alternative hypothesis for the given scenario:

Suppose a group of 1000 smokers (who all wanted to give up smoking) were randomly assigned to receive an antidepressant drug or a placebo for six weeks. Of the 193 patients who received the antidepressant drug, 12 were not smoking one year later. Of the 807 patients who received the placebo, 242 were not smoking one year later. Given the null hypothesis ?0:?1=?2H0:p1=p2 and the alternative hypothesis ??:?1≠?2Ha:p1≠p2, conduct a test to see if taking an antidepressant drug can help smokers stop smoking. Use ?=0.01α=0.01 (a) The rejection region is |?|>|z|> (b) The test statistic is ?=z= The final conclusion is
A. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that ?1=?2p1=p2 and conclude that the antidpressant drug can help smokers stop smoking. B. We can reject the null hypothesis that ?1=?2p1=p2 and conclude that the antidpressant drug can help smokers stop smoking.

- Example 2: Bryan coaches track and field at a local high school and during the previous season he got the impression that his 800m runners performed better when their races were in the morning as opposed to the afternoon. This season, he wanted to determine if his runners in fact performed better in the morning so he recorded all of their times for each race throughout the entire season. The data that he recorded for the morning and afternoon races are shown below. Carry out an appropriate hypothesis test at the a = 0.05 level to determine if his 800m runners performed better in the morning than in the afternoon.
