A spokesman for the Ministry of Environment stated that more than 75% of the plants around the factory in the Cikarang area were polluted. To test the government's statement, several factories in the Cikarang area appointed a research institute to prove this statement. Samples were taken from the polluted Cikarang area as many as 125 plants and it turned out that there were 106 plants affected by pollution. Are the results of the research from the sample in favor of the ministry of the environment?

Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted thirty years ago revealed that out of 378 randomly selected adults in the United States 57 were considered to be obese. In this year’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, out of 426randomly selected adults in the United States 135 were considered to be obese. Based on these results, can one conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the percentage of adults in the United States that are obese is considerably higher now than it was thirty years ago?
A marriage counselor has traditionally seen the proportion pee of all married couples from her communication program can prevent divorce and 79%. After making some recent changes, The marriage counselor now claims that our program can prevent divorce is more than 79% of married couples.

Suppose a group of researchers attempt to confirm the result of "Distractions in Everyday Driving," covered in News Story 5 "Driving while distracted is common, researchers say," by recreating the study. In a random sample or 240male drivers,102indicated they have experienced external distractions while driving. In addition, in a random sample of 270 female drivers, 98 indicated they have experienced external distractions while driving. Test whether the population proportion of male drivers experiencing external distractions while driving was greater than the population proportion of female drivers experiencing external distractions while driving. Use a .05 level of significance. A. What assumptions are required for conducting this test. B. State the null and alternative hypotheses (both mathematical notation and words) C. Calculate the test statistics (by hand) D. Give the P-value associated with the hypothesis test in part (a). E. State the conclusion, using p-value approach.
A psychologist is interested in determining if the proportion of males who are diagnosed with depression during their first year away from home is different from the proportion of females diagnosed with depression their first year. She thinks that females are more emotionally unstable than males and feels like school programs need to target females more effectively. She conducts a study and randomly samples 300 males and 250 females. Of the males, 30 are diagnosed with depression, and of the females, 50 are diagnosed with depression. Is there enough evidence to support the researcher’s hypothesis?
It is the aim of the Department of Health(DOH) to give measles vaccine to infants.

A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in New York and Illinois. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the that the mean annual income of childcare workers in the state of New York is greater than the mean annual income of childcare workers in Illinois. To see if this is true, the firm selected a random sample of 20 childcare workers from New York and an independent random sample of 20 childcare workers from Illinois and asked them to report their mean annual income. The data obtained were as follows.

A former residential complex was found to be a Superfund site polluted with several hazardous materials. Tamela is an investigative journalist who would like to show whether the proportion of the residents of the complex who eventually died from cancer is greater than the regional average of 14%. She randomly selects 54 residents who lived in the complex and finds that 12 of those residents eventually died from cancer. Are all of the conditions for this hypothesis test met, and if so, what are the null and alternative hypotheses for this hypothesis test? Select the correct answer below: Although the proportion follows a binomial model with two independent outcomes and the data are selected at random, the number of successes and the number of failures are not both greater than or equal to 5. Although the proportion follows a binomial model with two independent outcomes and the number of successes and the number of failures are both greater than or equal to 5, the…
