A survey of needy and disabled youths showed that 49% of those who had no preschool education were arrested or charged with a crime by the time they were 19, whereas only 31% who had preschool education wound up in this category. The survey did not specify what percentage of the youths in the survey had preschool education, so let us take a guess at that and estimate that 18% of them had attended preschool. (Round all answers to the nearest 1%.) (a) What percentage of the youths arrested or charged with a crime had no preschool education? % (b) What would this figure be if 82% of the youths had attended preschool? %

A dental assistant is interested in the proportion of patients that need a root canal. Let the proportion of patients that need a root canal be p. If the dental assistant wanted to know if the proportion of patients that need a root canal is more than 20%, what are the null and alternative hypotheses? Select the correct answer below: H0: p=0.20; Ha: p<0.20 H0: p>0.20; Ha: p=0.20 H0: p=0.20; Ha: p>0.20 H0: μ=0.20; Ha: μ>0.20
If the proportion of the population in City A that is over 65 years old is p1 and the proportion of the population in City B that is over 65 years old is p2, what is the null hypothesis for a test to determine if the proportion of the population that is over 65 years old is greater in City A? Select the correct answer below: H0: p1−p2=0 H0: p1−p2>0 H0: p1−p2<0 H0: p1−p2≠0
On the day before an election in a large city, each person in a random sample of 1,000 likely voters is asked whichcandidate he or she plans to vote for. Of the people in the sample, 55 percent say they will vote for candidateTaylor. A margin of error of 3 percentage points is calculated. Which of the following statements is appropriate?(A)The proportion of all likely voters who plan to vote for candidate Taylor must be the same as the proportionof voters in the sample who plan to vote for candidate Taylor (55 percent), because the data were collectedfrom a random sample.(B) The sample proportion minus the margin of error is greater than 0.50, which provides evidence that morethan half of all likely voters plan to vote for candidate Taylor.(C)It is not possible to draw any conclusion about the proportion of all likely voters who plan to vote forcandidate Taylor because the 1,000 likely voters in the sample represent only a small fraction of all likelyvoters in a large city.(D) It is…
For a certain year a study reports that the percentage of college students using credit cards was 83%. A college dean of student services feels that this is too high for her university, so she randomly selects 50 students and finds that 40 of them use credit cards. a- At a = 0.10, is she correct about her university? Calculate the value of the test statistic and state the alternatives, and conclusion. b- What would your conclusion be if the p-value of the test is equal to 0.0? c- Estimate the population proportion with 90% confidence.
In the following situations, is the alternative hypothesis one-sided or two-sided? What are the hypotheses? At a small computer company, only 69% of the hard drives produced passed all their performance tests the first time. Management recently invested resources into the production system and now conducts a test to see if it helped. b) A company wants to know if the average click-through rates (in minutes) are longer than the 6.7 minutes that customers spent on their old website before making a purchase.
Would you favor spending more federal tax money on the arts? Of a random sample of n1 = 232 women, r1 = 66 responded yes. Another random sample of n2 = 198 men showed that r2 = 65 responded yes. Does this information indicate a difference (either way) between the population proportion of women and the population proportion of men who favor spending more federal tax dollars on the arts? Use ? = 0.05. State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 ≠ p2H0: p1 < p2; H1: p1 = p2 H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 > p2H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 < p2 (b) What sampling distribution will you use?
