Question
According to NAFSA, 1.55% of all college students in the US studied abroad during the 2014-2015 academic year. Being the location of our country's capital, a researcher believes that a higher proportion of students study abroad in the District of Columbia than elsewhere in the country. Suppose a random sample of 250 college students from D.C. had 15 who studied abroad.
a. State the hypotheses in symbols and words to test the researcher's claim.
b. Calculate the test statistic.
c. Calculate the p-value.
d. Interpret the p-value
e. State the conclusion of the test.

- 6. Can professional astrologers reliably determine when a person was born based on their personality? In a 1985 study designed to answer this question, 116 participants filled out questionnaire to determine their personality profiles. Astrologers were then presented with the personality profiles and asked to determine which season (Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter) that a person was born in. The astrologers in the study were able to pick the correct personality profile 35 times out of 116. If there is really no connection between birth data and personality, we would expect the astrologers to be correct 1/4 of the time just by guessing (if we make the reasonable assumption that one-fourth of the population is born in each season). Perform a one-tailed hypothesis test of the claim that astrologers can match birth seasons to personality profiles better than chance. a. State the null hypothesis in symbols and words.b. State the alternative hypothesis in symbols and words. c. What is the…arrow_forwardConsider the following hypothe basketball records for college A and college B. Answer parts a through c.

For reasons known only to social scientists, the GSS regularly asks a random sample of people their astrological sign.

Use a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to compute a test statistic and P-value. Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 1% significance level that all 12 signs are not equally likely? Because the P-value of 0.6562 > 0.05, we cannot reject the null hypothesis. We cannot conclude that all 12 signs are not equally likely. Because the P-value of 0.0487 > 0.01, we cannot reject the null hypothesis. We…arrow_forward
- Section 11.2 Question #4 The table below includes results from polygraph (lie detector) experiments conducted by researchers. In each case, it was known if the subjected lied or did not lie, so the table indicates when the polygraph test was correct. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that whether a subject lies is independent of the polygraph test indication. Do the results suggest that polygraphs are effective in distinguishing between truth and lies? View the table Did the Subject Actually Lie? No (Did Not Lie) Yes (Lied) Polygraph test indicated that the subject lied. 9 48 Polygraph test indicated that the subject did not lie. 30 12 Determine the test statistic. χ2= _________ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

To do this, the company manager decides to select a random sample of customers and note the number who would purchase a program guide. Suppose that experience in other areas suggests that about 13% of customers will purchase a program guide. How many customers should the company manager include in his sample if he wishes to estimate the true proportion who will purchase the program guide correct to within 5% (0.05) with a confidence level of 95%?arrow_forward
