For a random sample of households in the US, we record annual household income, whether the location is east or west of the Mississippi River, and number of children. We are interested in determining whether there is a difference in average household income between those east of the Mississippi and those west of the Mississippi. a) Define the relevant parameter(s) and state the null and alternative hypotheses. b) What statistic(s) from the sample would we use to estimate the difference?

In an article in the Journal of Advertising, Weinberger and Spotts compare the use of humor in television ads in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Suppose that independent random samples of television ads are taken in the two countries. A random sample of 400 television ads in the United Kingdom reveals that 142 use humor, while a random sample of 500 television ads in the United States reveals that 122 use humor. a) Set up the null and alternative hypotheses needed to determine whether the proportion of ads using humor in the United Kingdom differs from the proportion of ads using humor in the United States. b) Test the hypotheses you set up in part a by using critical values and by setting a equal to .10, .05, .01, and .001. How much evidence is there that the proportions of U.K. and U.S. ads using humor are different?. Please do this stepwise and explanation and also dont do handwritten or skip please!! I will like.
