A researcher selected a sample of 268 former student athletes from a list of graduates of a large university. A total of 14% of the sample of athletes had earned graduate degrees as compared to 17% of all graduates. Is the difference statistically significant? Use α=.01. Be sure to use the five-step model in conducting the hypothesis test.

A researcher randomly selected a sample of n = 500 individuals from a population with µ = 120 and administered an experimental treatment to the sample. What the researcher should expect if the treatment has no significant effect?
. The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. If you were conducting 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 American population, what would the null and alternative hypotheses be?
A major credit card company is interested in the proportion of individuals who use a competitor’s credit card. Their null hypothesis is H0: p=0.65H0: p=0.65, and based on a sample they find a sample proportion of 0.70 and a pp-value of 0.053. Is there convincing statistical evidence at the 0.05 level of significance that the true proportion of individuals who use the competitor’s card is actually greater than 0.65 ?
Lisa wants to determine if graduates from her collegeearn different incomes than do graduates from college in general. To test this, Lisa surveys 1,000 graduates from her college and finds that the average income is $40,000 (s= 5,000). If the average income is $45,000 for graduates in general, do the incomes of the graduates from Lisa's college differ significantly? Use an alpha of .05 and a two-tailed test. Complete all 4 steps of hypothesis testing.
Historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the previous six months, in a sample of 115 new car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. To determine (at the 10% level of significance) whether the proportion of new car buyers that trade in their old car has this is statistically significantly decreased, what can you conclude concerning the null hypothesis? A) reject the null hypothesis Or B) fail to reject the null hypothesis
