A politician recently made the claim that 47% of taxpayers from a certain region do not pay any income taxes. Makayla is a journalist for an online media company and is testing the politician's claim for an op-ed. She randomly selects 159 taxpayers from the region to conduct a survey and finds that 73 of them do not pay any income taxes. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test? Select the correct answer: A) {H0:p=0.47Ha:p>0.47 B) {H0:p=0.47Ha:p<0.47 C) {H0:p=0.47Ha:p≠0.47 D) {H0:p≠0.47Ha:p=0.47

In a recent survey, it was stated that Americans watch television on average four hours per day. Assume that σ = 2. Using 40 students as the sample, conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the average for students at your school is lower:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology grants pirate certificates to those students who successfully complete courses in archery, fencing, sailing, and pistol shooting ("MIT Awards Pirate Certificates to Undergraduates," Boston Globe, March 3, 2012). Sheila claims that those students who go on to earn pirate certificates are able to hit a higher proportion of bull's-eyes during the archery final exam than the course average of 0.15. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses to test her claim.
In a survey taken in 2020, 20 out of 50 women and 17 out of 45 men said that they felt our country was headed in the wrong direction regarding universal health care. Do these data provide sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to conclude that the proportions of women and men that feel out country is headed in the wrong direction regarding healthcare are equal? Use the P-Value Method of Testing. In your work space below, you will need to have -1. The null hypothesis, Ho 2. The alternative hypothesis, H1 3. The test statistic 4. The type of test(left, right, two-tailed) and the p-value 5. The decision to accept Ho or reject Ho
The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 50 records of automobile driver fatalities in a certain county showed that 33 involved an intoxicated driver. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% in Kit Carson County? Use ? = 0.10. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternate hypothesis H. np? nq? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level ?? Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.
According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the United States in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .36. Suppose a random sample of 105 traffic fatalities in the state of Hawaii results in 51 that involved a positive BAC. D) Check whether the conditions for hypothesis testing using the P-value approach are meet.
Among a simple random sample of 331 American adults who do not have a four-year college degree and are not currently enrolled in school, 48% said they decided not to go to college because they could not afford school. a) A newspaper article states that only a minority of the Americans who decide not to go to college do so because they cannot afford it and uses the point estimate from this survey as evidence. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence supporting this statement. b)Would you expect a confidence interval for the proportion of American adults who decide not to go to college because they cannot afford it to include 0.5? Explain.
A golf instructor claims that more than 70% of his students have improved their driving distance by at least 20 yards after viewing and applying the techniques described in his instructional video. If 138 out of 180 viewers say that their driving distance has improved by at least 20 yards, is the instructor's claim valid? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this scenario. Is the instructor's claim that "more than 70% of his students have improved their driving distance by at least 20 yards," valid? Your response should include your decision and conclusion in context of the scenario.
The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.1% of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 2000 people in a certain city, 10.5% of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that city suffering from depression or a depressive illness is more than the 9.1% in the general adult American population. Test the relevant hypotheses using a 1% level of significance. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places. a. What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and use decimal values not percentages.) H0: H1: b. Based on the hypotheses, find the following: c. Test Statistic = d. p-value = e. Based on the above we choose to f. The correct summary would be:
An organization published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 7.5 percent of adults in a country suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, six of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult population in the country.
The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 8.8% of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 2000 people in a certain city, 11.3% of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that city suffering from depression or a depressive illness is more than the 8.8% in the general adult American population.

Find the Type II error given that the null hypothesis, H0, is: there are no more than 15% of structures in the county were built without permits.And, the alternative hypothesis, Ha, is: a building inspector claims that more than 15% of structures in the county were built without permits. Select the correct answer below: The building inspector concludes that more than 15% of the structures in the county were built without permits when, in fact, no more than 15% of the structures were built without permits. The building inspector concludes that more than 15% of the structures in the county were built without permits when, in fact, more than 15% of the structures were built without permits. The building inspector cannot conclude that more than 15% of the structures in the county were built without permits when, in fact, no more than 15% of the structures were built without permits.
