A study is made of residents in Las Vegas and its suburbs concerning the proportion of residents that subscribe to Sporting News. A random sample of 88 urban residents showed that 12 subscribed, and a random sample of 97 suburban residents showed that 18 subscribed. Does this indicate that a higher proportion of suburban residents subscribe to Sporting News? Use a 5% level of significance.

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
In a controlled laboratory experiment, scientists at the University of Minnesota discovered that 25% of a certain strain of rats subjected to a 20% coffee bean diet and then force-fed a powerful cancer-causing chemical later developed cancerous tumors. Would we have reason to believe that the proportion of rats developing tumors when subjected to this diet has increased if the experiment were repeated and 16 of 48 rats developed tumors? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
A random sample of 1100 potential voters was randomly divided into 2 groups.
