On its municipal website, the city of Tulsa states that the rate it charges per 5 CCF of residential water is $21.62. How do the residential water rates of other U.S. public utilities compare to Tulsa’s rate? The file ResidentialWater contains the rate per 5 CCF of residential water for 42 randomly selected U.S. cities. Using the critical value approach, conduct the appropriate hypotheses to determine whether the population mean rate per 5 CCF of residential water charged by U.S. public utilities differs from the $21.62 rate charged by Tulsa. Use α = 0.05. Critical Value Approach Develop the null and alternative hypothesis Specify the level of significance, α Choose the test statistic (z or t) Use the level of significance to determine the critical value and the rejection rule Calculate the test statistic Compare test statistic to your rejection rule. Reject of Fail to Reject the null hypothesis Interpret the statistical conclusion in the context of the problem.
A physical therapist wants to determine the difference in the proportion of men and women who participate in regular sustained physical activity. What sample size should be obtained if she wishes the estimate to be within four percentage points with 90% confidence, assuming that (a) she uses the estimates of 21.8% male and 18.1% female from a previous year? (b) she does not use any prior estimates?
In a random sample of 74 homeowners in a city, 22 homeowners said they would support a ban on nonnatural lawn fertilizers to protect fish in the local waterways. The sampling method had a margin of error of±3.1%. Find the point estimate.
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 27 records of automobile driver fatalities in Kit Carson County, Colorado, showed that 15 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 α = 0.01. Solve the problem using both the traditional method and the P-value method. Since the sampling distribution of p̂ is the normal distribution, you can use critical values from the standard normal distribution as shown in the table of critical values of the z distribution. (Round the test statistic and the critical value to two decimal places. Round the P-value to four decimal places.) test statistic = critical value = P-value = State your conclusion in the context of the application. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01…
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 31 records of automobile driver fatalities in Kit Carson County, Colorado, showed that 17 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 α = 0.01. Solve the problem using both the traditional method and the P-value method. Since the sampling distribution of p̂ is the normal distribution, you can use critical values from the standard normal distribution as shown in the table of critical values of the z distribution. (Round the test statistic and the critical value to two decimal places. Round the P-value to four decimal places.) Solve all parts of the question. test statistic = critical value = P-value =
Do the states that voted for McCain have a different average percent of heavy drinkers than the states that voted for Obama in the 2008 election? 1. To answer the question of whether McCain states and Obama states have different average percent, heavy drinkers, we will use a 2 sample t-test. Why? 2. What should the hypotheses be for this test?
