3. It is thought that a larger proportion of urban voters, in contrast to rural voters, will support the governor in her bid for reelection. Random samples of 500 urban and 400 rural voters were selected. Three hundred urban voters plans to vote to reelect the governor and 200 rural voters plan to do so. At the 0.05 significance, does this demonstrate that a greater proportion of urban voters plan to vote to reelect the governor? State the assumptions associated with this procedure. please show how to solve it. no excel please

Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, keeps track of the proportion of its customers who decide to eat in the restaurant (as opposed to ordering the food "to go") so it can make decisions regarding the possible construction of in-store play areas, the attendance of its mascot Sammy at the franchise locations, and so on. Anita's reports that 48% of its customers order their food to go. Suppose that this proportion is correct and that a random sample of 50 individual customers is taken. A) Estimate the number of customers in the sample who order their food to go by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. B) Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places

Anita's reports that 45% of its customers order their food to go. Suppose that this proportion is correct and that a random sample of 50 individual customers is taken. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Estimate the number of customers in the sample who order their food to go by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. (b) Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places.

Suppose a study was conducted to compare the sleep deprivation rates of Californians and Oregonians. The proportion of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.8%, while this proportion is 7% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 1,545 California and 1,460 Oregon adult residents. a) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence the rate of sleep deprivation is different for the two states. Use California as Group A and Oregon as Group B.Test statistic (Round to 4 decimal places): p-value (round to 4 decimal places): Conclusion at the 5% level of significance: We accept the null hypothesis. We reject the null hypothesis. We fail to reject the null hypothesis. b) It is possible the conclusion of the test in part (a) is incorrect (contradicts with the reality). If this is the case, what type of error was made? Type I Error Type III Error Type II Error A…
A potato chip company produces a large number of potato chip bags each day and wants to investigate whether a new packaging machine will lower the proportion of bags that are damaged. The company selected a random sample of 150 bags from the old machine and found that 15 percent of the bags were damaged, then selected a random sample of 200 bags from the new machine and found that 8 percent were damaged. Let pˆOp^O represent the sample proportion of bags packaged on the old machine that are damaged, pˆNp^N represent the sample proportion of bags packaged on the new machine that are damaged, pˆCp^C represent the combined proportion of damaged bags from both machines, and nOnO and nNnN represent the respective sample sizes for the old machine and new machine. Have the conditions for statistical inference for testing a difference in population proportions been met? No, the condition for independence has not been met, because random samples were not selected. A No, the…
In a random sample of 215 potential voters registered in the state of Kentucky, 107 indicated that they planned to vote in the next general election. In an independently chosen, random sample of 210 potential voters registered in South Carolina, 77 indicated that they planned to vote in the next general election. Can we conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the proportion p1 of all potential voters in Kentucky who plan to vote is greater than the proportion p2 of all potential voters in South Carolina who plan to vote? Perform a one-tailed test.
According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.33.Suppose a random sample of 109 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 47that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the α=0.05 level of significance?
A cigarette-manufacturing firm distributes two brands of cigarettes. If it is found that 56 of 200 smokers prefer brand A and 29 of 150 smokers prefer brand B, can we conclude at the .05 level of significance that brand A outsells brand B?
