A recent survey by the research institute showed that
62%
of users of online dating sites say the number one thing they're looking for in a date or partner is common interests. Suppose you would like to perform a hypothesis test to challenge this finding. From a random sample of
130
students on campus, you find that
70
said the number one thing they're looking for in a date or partner is common interests. Using a =
0.05,
complete parts a and b.

A researcher is examining the effect of wake-up time on alertness. Ten people wake up at 5am on Day 1, and rate how alert they feel from 1 – 10, with 10 being very alert. The next day, they wake up at 10am and rate how alert they feel from 1 – 10. Given the following output, are there significant differences in alertness between a 5am and 10am wake-up? Which test would you be doing?
