Last year, 46% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners conducted this year indicates that 35% plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 60 business owners. a. How many business owners in the survey plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees this year? b. Suppose the business owners in the sample did as they Compute the p-value for a hypothesis test that can be used to determine if the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts had decreased from last year. c. Using a .05 level of significance, would you conclude that the proportion of business owners providing gifts decreased? what is the smallest level of significance for which you could draw such a conclusion?
Do the states that voted for McCain have a different average percent of heavy drinkers than the states that voted for Obama in the 2008 election? 1. To answer the question of whether McCain states and Obama states have different average percent, heavy drinkers, we will use a 2 sample t-test. Why? 2. What should the hypotheses be for this test?
14. Prior to a set of compensation policy changes at a company 32% of the employees surveyed said that they liked their job very much, 51% said that they liked their job moderately, and the remaining employees said that they were dissatisfied with their job. Now, in a survey of 195 employees, 58 said they liked their job very much, 106 said that they liked their job moderately, and the remaining employees said that they were dissatisfied with their job. When testing (at the 5% level of significance) whether the proportions have changed, what is the test statistic? (please round your answer to 3 decimal places)

Prior to a set of compensation policy changes at a company 30% of the employees surveyed said that they liked their job very much, 50% said that they liked their job moderately, and the remaining employees said that they were dissatisfied with their job. Now, in a survey of 200 employees, 76 said they liked their job very much, 105 said that they liked their job moderately, and the remaining employees said that they were dissatisfied with their job. When testing (at the 5% level of significance) whether the proportions have changed, what is the null and alternative hypotheses?
15. Prior to a set of compensation policy changes at a company 29% of the employees surveyed said that they liked their job very much, 52% said that they liked their job moderately, and the remaining employees said that they were dissatisfied with their job. Now, in a survey of 208 employees, 75 said they liked their job very much, 110 said that they liked their job moderately, and the remaining employees said that they were dissatisfied with their job.

Last year, 46% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners indicated that 35% plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 60 business owners. (a) How many business owners in the survey plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees? (b) Suppose the business owners in the sample do as they plan. Compute the p value for a hypothesis test that can be used to determine if the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts has decreased from last year. If required, round your answer to four decimal places. If your answer is zero, enter “0”. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Amelia, a researcher in psychology and biobehavioral health, believes that city residents and residents of rural areas differ in how appealing they find owning a cat. A random sample of 66 people who live in New York City were surveyed and 36 identified themselves as a "cat person." A random sample of 53 people who live in the surrounding rural area were selected and 36 identified themselves as a "cat person." Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test at the α=0.1α=0.1 significance level to test Amelia's claim. Round answers to 4 decimal places where appropriate. a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
