Students have asked these similar questions
According to the LA Times, "In an annual survey of more than 500 beaches, Heal the Bay reported ...
that 92% of the state's (California) beaches had logged good water-quality marks between April and Octo-
ber of 2019". (https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-30/california-beach-report-card).
We want to know if measures to increase the beach water quality in California that have been put in
place since 2019 are working, that is, if the percentage of beaches with good water-quality marks has
increased since 2019. Let p be the true proportion of beaches that deserve good-quality water marks
this year. To test if the measures of beach improvement are working, you want to see if more than 92%
of beaches get good marks at an a = 0.05 level.
A sample of 368 beaches is taken in January 2022 and of these beaches 347 logged a good water-quality
rating.
(a) Set up the null and alternative hypothesis (using mathematical notation/numbers AND interpret
them in context of the problem).
(b)…
On a final exam a student was asked to define sampling error. He wrote:
"sampling error is roughly the average difference between a sample statistic and the population parameter".
Unfortunately, this is not the definition of sampling error, but it is the correct definiition of something else. What has the student defined?
I’m doing some practice questions! Could you help me with this?

The respondents answer "yes" or "no." The percentage answering "yes" and the sample sizes are given below. In the population, is there a difference between men and women regarding internet use? Set alpha at .05. Your hunch is that there is a difference between men and women in the population, but you make no claims about the direction of the difference. Round to two places of the decimal.
