In Exercises 1–5, use the following survey results: Randomly selected subjects were asked if they were aware that the Earth has lost half of its wildlife population during the past 50years. Among 1121 women, 23% said that they were aware. Among 1084 men, 26% said that they were aware (based on data from a Harris poll).
1. Biodiversity Identify the null and alternative hypotheses resulting from the claim that for the people who were aware of the statement, the proportion of women is equal to the proportion of men.

To identify: The null and alternative hypotheses.
Answer to Problem 1CQQ
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The claim for the hypothesis test is that the proportion of women is equal to the proportion of mean.
Justification:
Let population 1 denotes the women and population 2 denote the men.
Let
Here, the given claim is the proportion of women is equal to the proportion of men. This indicates that
Null hypothesis:
That is, the proportion of women is equal to the proportion of men.
Alternative hypothesis:
That is, the proportion of women differs from the proportion of men

Assume that this report was based on a random sample of four hundred 18- to 34-year-olds A political campaign manager wants to know if the sample results can be used to conclude that the unemployment rate for 18- to 34-years-olds is significantly higher than the unemployment rate for all adults. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for all adults was 7.9%. Develop a hypothesis test that can be used to see if the conclusion that the unemployment rate is higher for 18- to 34-year-olds can be supported. H0: p ≤ 0.079 Ha: p > 0.079 H0: p > 0.079 Ha: p ≤ 0.079 H0: p < 0.079 Ha: p ≥ 0.079 H0: p ≥ 0.079 Ha: p < 0.079 H0: p = 0.079 Ha: p ≠ 0.079 (b) Use the sample data collected for the 18- to 34-year-olds to compute the p-value for the hypothesis test in part (a).

- The American College Health Association produced the National College Health Assessment (Andy Gardiner, "Surfacing from Depression," February 6, 2006). The assessment indicates that the percentage of U.S. college students who report having been diagnosed with depression has risen from 2000. The assessment surveyed 47,202 students at 74 campuses. It discovered that 10.3% and 14.9% of students indicated that they had been diagnosed with depression in 2000 and 2004, respectively. Assume that half of the students surveyed were surveyed in 2004. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if there has been more than a 0.04 increase in the proportion of students who indicated they have been diagnosed with depression. Use a significance level of 0.05 and a p-value approach to this test.arrow_forwardTourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida.
