7.10 Play Golf America program. The Professional Golf NW Association (PGA) and Golf Digest have developed the Play Golf America program, in which teaching profes- sionals at participating golf clubs provide a free 10-minute lesson to new customers. According to Golf Digest, golf facilities that participate in the program gain, on average, $2,400 in greens fees, lessons, or equipment expenditures. A teaching professional at a golf club believes that the average gain in greens fees, lessons, or equipment expendi- tures for participating golf facilities exceeds $2,400. a. In order to support the claim made by the teaching pro- fessional, what null and alternative hypotheses should you test? b. Suppose you select a = .05. Interpret this value in the words of the problem. c. For a = .05, specify the rejection region of a large- sample test.

suppose that from a sample of 200,000 new york workers, 32,400 reported traveling more than an hour an day. From this information, statisticians determined that about 16.2% of the workers in the state traveled more than an hou to work every day in 2011. If there were 8,437,512 workers in the entire population, about how many traveled more than an hour to work each day?
A study was conducted in 1997 to measure the total fat content, calories, and sodium content of vegetable burgers available at supermarkets and commonly used as a meat substitute. Measurements on 54 different brands of "veggie burgers," and the results were used to develop the 3-way contingency table below. Under 130 Calories Under 130 Calories 130 Calories or More 130 Calories of More Total Fat Content Under 320 g Sodium 320 g Sodium or More Under 320 g of Sodium 320 g Sodium or More Under 3 g 6 12 1 1 3-4 g 7 4 3 5 Over 4 g 1 1 7 6 A= {"Under 130 Calories"}, B= {"320 g Sodium or More"} C= {"Over 4 g Total Fat"} A vegetable burger is selected randomly from the group.

Jensen Tire & Auto is in the process of deciding whether to purchase a maintenance contract for its new computer wheel alignment and balancing machine. Managers feel that maintenance expense should be related to usage, and they collected the following information on weekly usage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars). Weekly Usage(hours) AnnualMaintenanceExpense 13 17.0 10 22.0 20 30.0 28 37.0 32 47.0 17 30.5 24 32.5 31 39.0 40 51.5 38 40.0 test statistic is 6.90 Find the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) p-value = State your conclusion. Reject H0. We conclude that the relationship between weekly usage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars) is significant. Do not reject H0. We conclude that the relationship between weekly usage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars) is significant. Reject H0. We cannot conclude that the relationship between weekly usage…
Students who are home-schooled often attend their local schools to participate in various types of activities such as sports or musical ensembles. According to the government, 82% of home-schoolers receive their education entirely at home, while 12% attend school up to 9 hours per week and 6% spend from 9 to 25 hours per week at school. A survey of 85 students who are home-schooled revealed the following information about where they receive their education. Entirely at home Up to 9 hours 9 to 25 hours 50 25 10 At α=0.05, is there suffificient evidence to conclude that the proportions differ from those stated by the government?
According to the Pew Research Center,on the propotion of the American population who use only a cellular telephone (landline) is 0.37. Jason conducts a survey of one hundred fifty 20 to 24 year olds who live on their own and finds that 73 do not have a landline to their home. Does this provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of 20 to 24 year olds who live on their own and don't have a landline is greater than 0.37? Use a=0.10 level of significance. A) Verify that nP0(1-P0)>10 and n< 0.05N (Assume the population sizes is N=40 million) B) State the appropiate null and alternative hypotheses. C) Indicate whether the hypothesis is left, right, or two- tailed.

D) Compute the test statistic z0. Round to the nearest hundredth. E) Draw a normal model with the area that represents the P-value shaded. F) Determine and interpret the P-value. What is the conclusion of the hypothesis test?
According to the Pew Research Center, the proportion of the American population who use only a cellular telephone (no landline) is 0.37. Jason conducts a survey of thirty 20- to 24-year-olds who live on their own and finds that 16 do not have a landline to their home. Does this provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of 20- to 24-year-olds who live on their own and don’t have a landline is greater than 0.37? Use an a=0.10 level of significance.

Based on a survey of 12,344 U.S. college students and 6,729 Canadian college students, Kuo, Adlaf, Lee, Gliksman, Demers, and Wechsler (2002) report that alcohol use is more common among Canadian than U.S. students, but heavy drinking (five or more drinks in a row for males, four or more for females) is significantly higher among U.S. students than Canadian students. Is this an example of a survey research design?
A study was conducted to explore workplace bullying in a community NHS trust. Staff were asked about whether workplace bullying had affected their working environment (Quine L, BMJ 1999; 318: 228-229). Those who had been bullied had lower levels of job satisfaction (mean 10.5 [SD 2.7] vs 12.2 [2.3], P<0.001) and higher levels of job-induced stress (mean 22.5 [SD 6.1] v 16.9 [5.8], P<0.001) than those who had not been bullied. Based on the above info, Select which of the following statement(s) you believe to be true You CAN SELECT MORE THAN 1. a. The P value for the comparison of job-induced stress was less than 0.001. This means that we cannot reject the null hypothesis at the 5% level of significance. b. P < 0.001 means that there is a less than 1 in 1000 chance that we would have obtained these results, or more extreme results, if the alternative hypothesis was true. c. There is a significant difference in the levels of job satisfaction between…

A paper in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disorders reported the following data on the amount of dextroamphetamine excreted by a sample of children having organically related disorders and a sample of children with nonorganic disorders (dextroamphetamine is a drug commonly used to treat hyperkinetic children). Organic: 17.53, 20.60, 17.62, 28.93, 27.10 Nonorganic: 15.59, 14.76, 13.32, 12.45, 12.79 (Observations refer to percentage of recovery of the drug seven hours after its administration.) If we assume that the variances of the two groups of children are unequal, determine whether the true average percentages of recovery for the two conditions are equal at significance level 0.01
