Of a random sample of 100 college students, 35 expected to achieve a higher standard of living than their parents, 43 expected a lower standard of living, and 22 expected about the same standard of living as their parents. Do these data present strong evidence that, for the population of students, more expect a lower standard of living compared with their parents than expect a higher standard of living?
It has been determined that 37 out of 100 adult Americans that did not attend college believe in extra-terrestrials. However, from a random sample of 100 adult Americans that did not attend college 43 claim that they believe in extra-terrestrials. Does this indicate that the proportion of people who did not attend college and who believe in extra-terrestrials has changed? Conduct a hypothesis test with a = 0.01 and interpret the results.
Are college students more likely than high school students to have a part-time job? A recent study found that 21 out of a random sample of 51 college students had part-time jobs and that 12 out of a random sample of 40 high school students had part-time jobs. At the 5% level of significance, do these samples provide evidence that college students are more likely than high school students to have a part-time job? Be sure to clearly state the null and alternative hypothesis, calculate the test statistic and p-value, state the conclusion of the test, and interpret the result in context.
A magazine reported that at the top 50 business schools in a region, students studied an average of 18.1 hours. Set up a hypothesis test to try to prove that the mean number of hours studied at your school is different from the reported 18.1 hour benchmark. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
If we have a sample of size 100 from a population of rope with sample mean breaking strength of 1040 pounds with standard deviation 200 pounds and we wish to run a hypothesis test with this data to see if the population mean breaking strength exceeds 1000 pounds, what is our ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS?
In 1995, it was determined that 78% of US citizens supported a ban on household aerosols. Thinking that this proportion may have changed over the past few decades, a sample will be taken to test if a change has occurred. What is the appropriate null hypothesis?

The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 8.8% of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 2000 people in a certain city, 11.3% of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that city suffering from depression or a depressive illness is more than the 8.8% in the general adult American population. Test the relevant hypotheses using a 5% level of significance. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places. a. What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and use decimal values not percentages.) H0: H1:    b. Based on the hypotheses, find the following: c. Test Statistic =   d. p-value =      e. Based on the above we choose to:_____________ f. The correct summary would be: ____________ that the true proportion of people in that city suffering from depression or a…

One particular professional association of investors conducts a weekly survey of its members to measure the percent who are bullish, bearish, and neutral on the stock market for the next six months. The survey results showed 37.9% bullish, 22.6% neutral, and 39.5% bearish. Assume these results are based on a sample of 300 members. (a) Over the long term, the proportion of bullish members is 0.39. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level of significance to see if the current sample results show that bullish sentiment differs from its long term average of 0.39. What are your findings? Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the bullish sentiment differs from its long term average of 0.39. A. H0: p ≥ 0.39 Ha: p < 0.39 B. H0: p ≤ 0.39 Ha: p > 0.39      C. H0: p = 0.39 Ha: p ≠ 0.39 D. H0: p < 0.39 Ha: p ≥ 0.39 E. H0: p > 0.39 Ha: p ≤ 0.39 Find the value of the test…
A consumer electronics firm has developed a new type of remote control button that is designed to operate longer before becoming intermittent. The best button on the market lasts an average of 1200 hours. A random sample of 36 new buttons is selected and each is tested in continuous operation until becoming intermittent. The resulting lifetime of each button was recorded and found to have a sample mean of 1275 hours. What is the appropriate null hypothesis? H0: ["", "", "", ""] What is the appropriate alternative hypothesis? Ha:
A random sample of 104 marketing vice presidents from large Fortune 500 corporations was questioned on future developments in the business environment. Of those sample members, 50 indicated some measurement of agreement with this statement: Firms will concentrate their efforts more on cash flow than on profits. What is the lowest level of significance at which the null hypothesis, which states that the true proportion of all such executives who would agree with this statement is one-half, can be rejected against a two-sided alternative?
Each year, more than 2 million people in the United States become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. In particular, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention have launched studies of drug-resistant gonorrhea.† Suppose that, of 189 cases tested in a certain state, 12 were found to be drug-resistant. Suppose also that, of 429 cases tested in another state, 8 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states? Use a 0.02 level of significance. (Let p1 = the population proportion of drug-resistant cases in the first state, and let p2 = the population proportion of drug resistant cases in the second state.) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Enter != for ≠ as needed.) H0: ______ Ha: ______ Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) = What is the p-value?
