The table below summarizes data from a survey of a sample of women. Using a 0.01 significance level, and assuming that the sample sizes of 900 men and 400 women are predetermined, test the claim that the proportions of agree/disagree responses are the same for subjects interviewed by men and the subjects interviewed by women. Does it appear that the gender of the interviewer affected the responses of women?

(A) There is not a significant association between caffeine and migraines (B) The test statistic does not fall in the rejection region (C) The critical value is equal to 7.38 D) The expected counts eij are computed assuming caffeine and migraines are independent
A veterinarian is interested in researching the proportion of men and women cat owners and believes that the proportion of men cat owners is significantly different than the proportion of women cat owners. The veterinarian decides to obtain two independent samples of men and women cat owners and finds from one sample of 80 men, 30% owned cats. In the second sample of 60 women, 55% owned cats. Test the veterinarian's belief at the α=0.05α=0.05 significance level. Preliminary: Is it safe to assume that nmen≤5%nmen≤5% of all men and nwomen≤5%nwomen≤5% of all women?

10. The research department at the home office of Superior Insurance conducts ongoing research on the causes of automobile accidents, the characteristics of the drivers, and so on. A random sample of 400 policies written on single persons revealed 120 had at least one accident in the previous three- year period. Similarly, a sample of 600 policies written on married persons revealed that 150 had been in at least one accident. At the 0.05 significance level, is there a significant difference in the proportions of single and married persons having an accident during a three-year period? Determine and interpret the p- value.
A city is collecting data on two neighborhoods, one low income and one middle income, to see whether or not their residents would support an increase in local sales tax to pay for more city services. The city wishes to see if there is evidence to show that the first neighborhood (low income) has a lower level of support for the tax compared to the second neighborhood (middle income).You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.002 Ho:p1=p2 Ha:p1<p2You obtain a sample from the first population with 219 successes and 131 failures.

The article “HIV-positive Smokers Considering Quitting: Differences by Race/Ethnicity” (E. Lloyd-Richardson, C. Stanton, et al., Am J Health Behav, 2008:3–15) reported that in a group of 230 European-American HIV-positive smokers, 102 of them had used a nicotine patch to try to quit smoking, and in a group of 72 Hispanic-American HIV-positive smokers, 20 had used a nicotine patch. Can you conclude that the proportion of patch users is greater among European-Americans?
Independent random samples of 32 people living on the west side of a city and 30 people living on the east side of a city were taken to determine if the income levels of west side residents are significantly different from the income levels of east side residents. Given the testing statistics below, determine if the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the income levels of west side residents are significantly different from the income levels of east side residents, at the 2% significance level.
