A study is made of residents in Phoenix and its suburbs concerning the proportion of residents who subscribe to Sporting News. A random sample of 87 urban residents showed that 13 subscribed, and a random sample of 95 suburban residents showed that 20 subscribed. Does this indicate that a higher proportion of suburban residents subscribe to Sporting News? Use a 10% level of significance. \

In analyzing the consumption of cottage cheese by members of various occupational groups, the United Dairy Industry Association found that 326 of 837 professionals seldom or never ate cottage cheese, versus 220 of 489 white-collar workers and 522 of 1243 blue-collar workers (Sheet 53). Assuming independent samples, use the 0.03 level in testing the null hypothesis that the population proportions could be the same for the three occupational groups.

Four hundred randomly selected adults were phoned and asked whether or not they had been cited for speeding in the last year.

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 0.36. Suppose a random sample of 110 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 49 that 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 potato chip company produces a large number of potato chip bags each day and wants to investigate whether a new packaging machine will lower the proportion of bags that are damaged. The company selected a random sample of 150 bags from the old machine and found that 15 percent of the bags were damaged, then selected a random sample of 200 bags from the new machine and found that 8 percent were damaged. Let pˆOp^O represent the sample proportion of bags packaged on the old machine that are damaged, pˆNp^N represent the sample proportion of bags packaged on the new machine that are damaged, pˆCp^C represent the combined proportion of damaged bags from both machines, and nOnO and nNnN represent the respective sample sizes for the old machine and new machine. Have the conditions for statistical inference for testing a difference in population proportions been met? No, the condition for independence has not been met, because random samples were not selected. A No, the…

A study, which randomly surveyed 3,700 households and drew on this information from the IRS, found that 79% of households have conducted at least one IRA rollover from an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Suppose a recent random sample of 90 households in a certain county was taken and respondents were asked whether they had ever funded an IRA account with a rollover from an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Based on the sample data below, can you conclude at the 0.10 level of significance that the proportion of households in the county that have funded an IRA with a rollover is different from the proportion for all households reported in the study? 77 respondents said they had funded an account; 13 respondents said they had not
