A random sample of 200 people was taken. 90 of the people in the sample favored Candidate A. We are interested in determining whether or not the proportion of the population in favor of Candidate A is significantly more than 40%. The test statistic is   a. 1.44.   b. 1.25.   c. .95.   d. .80.

Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna). (Reference: Hummingbirds, K. Long, W. Alther.) Suppose that in a remote part of the Grand Canyon, a random sample of six of these birds was caught, weighed, and released. The weights (in grams) were as follows. 3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1 The sample mean is  = 3.75 grams. Let x be a random variable representing weights of hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. We assume that x has a normal distribution and ? = 0.64 gram. Suppose it is known that for the population of all Anna's hummingbirds, the mean weight is ? = 4.30 grams. Do the data indicate that the mean weight of these birds in this part of the Grand Canyon is less than 4.30 grams? Use ? = 0.10. (a)  What is the level of significance? (Enter a number.)State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test? H0: ? = 4.3 g; H1: ? ≠ 4.3 g; two-tailedH0: ? < 4.3 g; H1: ? = 4.3 g; left-tailed    H0:…
