The number of Muslims continues to grow throughout the world, and they are currently thesecond-largest religious group in the world. Knowing that this group has been the target of falsebeliefs about their religion, a researcher is interested in whether people who have moreinteractions with Muslim people are less likely to believe negative statements about Islam. To dothis, they surveyed a large sample of participants across Western Europe and asked themquestions about how frequently they interact with Muslim people as well as how much theyagreed with negative statements about Islam. What statistical test should be used to determine ifthere if how frequently survey participants interact with Muslim people predicts how likely theyare to agree with a negative statement about Islam? Assume parametric assumptions are met. A. Is this a relationship test or a difference test? Explain your rationale. B.
The mayor of town believes that less than 51% of the residents favor construction of an adjoining bridge. Is there sufferent evidenice at 0.10 level to support the mayor's claim? State the null and alternatively hypotheses for the above scenario.
Suppose a random sample of 110 companies taken in 2005 showed that 26 offered high-deductible health insurance plans to their workers. A separate random sample of 120 firms taken in 2006 showed that 31 offered high-deductible health insurance plans to their workers. Based on the sample results, can you conclude that there is a higher proportion of companies offering high-deductible health insurance plans to their workers in 2006 than in 2005? Conduct your hypothesis test at a level of significance α=0.02. Let p1 be the population proportion from 2006, and let p2 be the population proportion from 2005. F. H0: p1−p2≤0 HA: p1−p2>0 Determine the critical value(s). z Subscript alpha zα =2.052.05 (already done) (Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Round to two decimal places as needed.)

An organization published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 11.5 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, nine 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. At a pre-conceived α = 0.05, what are your following?Decision: , Reason for the decision: ,Conclusion
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. 1.

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 hospital reported that the regular death rate for patients with extensive burns has beensignificantly reduced by the use of new fluid plasma compresses. Before the new treatment, themortality rate for extensive burn patients was about 60%. Using the new compresses, the hospitalfound that 40 out of 88 (45.45%) patients with extensive burns died. Use a 1% level of significanceto test the claim that the mortality rate has dropped and clearly state your conclusion.
According the USDA, 46.2% of males between 20 and 39 years old consume the minimum daily requirement of calcium. After an aggressive “Got Milk?” campaign, the USDA conducts a survey of 48 randomly selected males between the ages of 20 and 39 and finds that 32 of themconsume the recommended daily allowance of calcium. At the alpha=0.05 level, is there evidence to conclude that the percentage of males between the ages of 20 and 39 who consume the minimum recommended daily allowance of calcium has increased?
A state university annual report showed that its retention rate was at 24% and university administrators would like to increase this rate.
