Students have asked these similar questions
Your local school board wants to determine the proportion of people who plan on voting for the school levy in the upcoming election. They conduct a random phone poll, where they contact 150 individuals and ask them whether or not they plan on voting for the levy. Of these 150 respondents, 78 people say they plan on voting for the levy. The school board wants to determine whether or not the data supports the idea that more than 50% of people plan on voting for the levy. Are all three conditions met for a Hypothesis Test in this scenario?
No, only one is met
No, none of them are met.
No, only two are met.
It is impossible to tell
Yes, all three are met.
Among college students, the proportion p who say they're interested in their congressional district's election results has traditionally been 65%. After a series of
debates on campuses, a political scientist claims that the proportion of college students who say they're interested in their district's election results is more than
65%. A poll is commissioned, and 199 out of a random sample of 275 college students say they're interested in their district's election results. Is there enough
evidence to support the political scientist's claim at the 0.01 level of significance?
Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
(a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁.
