- You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. In 2012, seventy percent of Canadian households had an internet connection. A sample of 320 households taken in 2013 showed that 76% of them had an internet connection. We are interested in determining whether or not there has been a significant increase in the percentage of the Canadian households that have internet connections. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested. (Enter != for as needed. Let p be the proportion of all Canadian households with internet connections.) H₂₂: H₂: (b) Compute the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (c) The null hypothesis is to be tested at the 5% level of significance. Determine the critical value(s) for this test. (Round your answer(s) to two decimal places.

- It is believed that positive, self-affirming statements can lead to greater academic success on high- stakes assessments. In a recent study, 120 advanced algebra students were randomly assigned to two groups. One group was instructed how to write and recite daily positive self-affirmations while the other group did not do any affirmations. After one semester, all 120 students took the same algebra examination. Which of the following would be appropriate hypotheses for this study? (A) Ho: M₁ = ₂ and Ha: ₁ ₂, where ₁ = mean score for those who used affirmations and U₂ = mean score for those who don't use affirmations. (D) Ho: H1 H2 and Ha: ₁ = µ2, where μ, mean score for those who used affirmations and μ₂ = mean score for those who don't use affirmations. (E) Ho: H₁ H₂ and Ha: 1 = P2, where μ, mean score for those who used affirmations and U₂ = mean score for those who don't use affirmations.arrow_forwardThe National Association of Realtors reported that 26% of home buyers in the state of Florida are foreigners in 2012.

Polls show that about 69% of American adults followed the news about the political crisis and demonstrations in Egypt closely during the first couple weeks following the start of the uprising. Among a random sample of 30 high school students, it was found that only 17 of them followed the news about Egypt closely during this time.

- Write the null and alternative hypotheses you would use to test each of the situations in parts (a) through (c). (a) A dictator is concerned about his "negatives," that is, the percentage of the country's residents who express disapproval of his job performance. His political committee pays for a series of TV ads, hoping that they can keep the negatives below 44%. They will use follow up polling to assess the ads' effectiveness. Let p be the proportion of the country's residents who express disapproval of the dictator's performance. Ho: P HA: P 0.44 0.44 (b) Is a ten-section spinner fair? Let p represent the probability of the spinner landing on any particular section. Ho: P HA P 1 10 Ho: P HAP 10 (c) Only about 19% of people who try to gain self-confidence succeed.

- It has recently been claimed that 25% of adults consider spring to be their favorite season of the year. A researcher is skeptical of this claim and believes this percentage is too low. She surveys a random of 1,000 adults and finds that 390 of these adults consider spring to be their favorite season of the year. As she prepares to conduct a hypothesis test, the researcher writes out her alternative hypothesis as “p < 0.25.” What is wrong with this? The alternative hypothesis should be “p > 0.39.” The alternative hypothesis should be “p < 0.39.” The alternative hypothesis should be “p > 0.25.” The alternative hypothesis should be “p = 0.25.” Nothing is wrong with the given alternative hypothesis.arrow_forwardPerform a hypothesis test at a 5% level of significance to see if the proportion of white individuals who are fatally shot by police is less than the total proportion of white individuals in the United States, which is approximately 60.1% according to the U.S. census bureau.
