Historically, the percentage of residents of a certain country who support stricter gun control laws has been 53%. A recent poll of 987 people showed 500 in favor of stricter gun control laws. Assume the poll was given to a random sample of people. Test the claim that the proportion of those favoring stricter gun control has changed. Perform a hypothesis test, using a significance level of 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Họ: The population proportion that supports stricter gun control is 0.53, p= 500 H p #0.53 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) The significance level is a = 0.05. Choose the one-proportion z-test. Compute the sample proportion p. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Calculate the values needed to compute the standard error.

The drug Ritalin is designed to stimulate the central nervous system. In a random sample of 252 boys aged ten – twelve years old, it was found that 44 of the boys were taking Ritalin. It is known that the proportion of all boys aged 13 – 15 who take Ritalin is 24%. A researcher claims that the population proportions of boys who take Ritalin aged 10 – 12 is different than boys aged 13 – 15. Can you support this claim at the 5% significance level? a. Conduct a hypothesis test to test the claim at the 5% significance level. Be sure to state you Ho and Ha, your test statistic and p-value, whether or not you reject Ho and whether you support the claim. b. Show that you can use the large sample methodology. c. Write a complete sentence describing what a Type I error is in context.
A sample of 45 households reveals that 23% have traveled overseas. Is this significantly different from a hypothesized value of 30%, which characterizes the entire country? Use a significance level of 0.05. Write down the null and alternative hypotheses, find the test statistic and the p-value, and state your conclusion.
Historically, the percentage of U.S. residents who support stricter gun control laws has been 55%. A recent Gallup Poll of 2500 people showed 1723 in favor of stricter gun control laws . Assume the poll was given to a random sample of people. QUESTION Test the claim that the proportion of those favoring stricter gun control has changed from 0.55. Perform a hypothesis test, using a significance level of 0.01. What is the standard error? (round to the nearest thousandth)
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.
According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the United States in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .36. Suppose a random sample of 105 traffic fatalities in the state of Hawaii results in 51 that involved a positive BAC. D) Check whether the conditions for hypothesis testing using the P-value approach are meet.
The ___________ is a value used in making a decision about the null hypothesis and is found by converting the sample statistic to a score with the assumption that the null hypothesis is true.
According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at the 5% level. viii) Comparing p-value and α value, which is the correct decision to make for this hypothesis test? A. Reject H B. Fail to reject Ho C. Accept Ho D. Accept HA Enter letter corresponding to correct answer. (ix) Select the statement that most correctly interprets the result of this test: A. The result is statistically significant at .05 level of significance. Evidence supports the claim that the proportion of complaints due to identity theft in Alaska is less than 23%. B. The result is statistically significant at .05 level of significance. There is not…

An LED light bulb manufacturer claims that the average lifespan of its 60-watt LED light bulbs is 43,000 hours.A corporate watchdog group is suspicious of the company's claim and thinks that the true average lifespan of the 60-watt LED light bulbs produced by the company may be less than the advertised 43,000 hours. The group collected and tested a random sample of 240 light bulbs and found the average lifespan of the sample was 42,958 hours.Use the p-value method to test the hypothesis that the mean lifespan of this brand of 60-watt LED light bulb is less than 43,000 hours, using α=0.025α=0.025. Assume the standard deviation of the lifespan of all such light bulbs is known to be 430 hours.State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test.H0:H0: H1:H1: Determine if this test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. right-tailed two-tailed left-tailed Should the standard normal (zz) distribution or Student's (tt) distribution be used for this…
