10.30 A Yankelovich, Skelly, and White poll reported upon on November 30, 1984, showed that 54% of 2,207 people surveyed thought the U.S. income tax system was too complicated. Can wez conclude safely, at the 5% significance level, that the majority of Americans think the income tax system is too complicated?

What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?
A health insurance company wants to determine if more than 25% of US residents have been to a hospital emergency room within the past year. It was found that in a sample of 1000 people, 28% indicated that they had been to an emergency room within the past year. With a significance level of 0.01, is there evidence to suggest that the proportion of US residents that have been to the emergency room in the past year is actually higher than 25%?
In a survey of families in which both parents work, one of the questions asked was, “Have you refused a job, promotion, or transfer because it would mean less time with your family?” A total of 200 men and 200 women were asked this question. “Yes” was the response given by 29% of the men and 24% of the women. Based on this survey, can we conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of men and women responding “yes” at the 0.05 level of significance?

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.
