Tourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida. Hotel occupancy is an often-reported measure of visitor volume and visitor activity
(Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2018). Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows.
Current Year
1,394
1,700
Occupied Rooms
Total Rooms
a. Formulate the hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether there has been an increase in the proportion of rooms occupied over the
one-year period.
Let p₁ = population proportion of rooms occupied for current year
P2 = population proportion of rooms occupied for previous year
0.82
Previous Year
1,404
1,800
Ho: P1 P2 less than or equal to 0
Ha P₁ P2 greater than 0
b. What is the estimated proportion of hotel rooms occupied each year (to 2 decimals)?
Current year
Previous Year
c. Conduct a hypothesis test. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? Use Table 1 from Appendix B.
0.78
Newspaper headlines at the time and traditional wisdom in the succeeding decades have held that women and children escaped a sunken ship in greater proportion than men. Here's a table with the relevant data. Do you think that survival was independent of whether the person was male or female? Defend your conclusion.
A. Is there evidence of a significant difference between the proportion of males and females who survived at the 0.005 level of significance? What are the null and alternative hypotheses to test?
B. Are the conditions for inference satisfied?
C. Calculate the test statistic
D. Determine the P-value and interpret the meaning
E. Reject or Fail to Reject and why?
A study is designed to investigate whether there is a difference in response to various treatments in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The outcome is patient’s self-reported effect of treatment. The data are shown on the next page. Is there a significant difference in effect of treatment? Hint: Are severity of symptoms and treatment independent? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Demonstrate the five steps for hypothesis testing and draw a conclusion based on your results. Remember to determine the p-value, if relevant.
