How do I find the relevant hypotheses? 10.28 In a survey conducted by CareerBuilder.com, em-ployers were asked if they had ever sent an employ-ee home because they were dressed inappropriately(June 17, 2008, www.careerbuilder.com). A totalof 2765 employers responded to the survey, with968 saying that they had sent an employee homefor inappropriate attire. In a press release, Career-Builder makes the claim that more than one-third ofemployers have sent an employee home to changeclothes.Do the sample data provide convincing evidencein support of this claim? Test the relevant hypothesesusing a = .05. For purposes of this exercise,assume that it is reasonable to regard the sample asrepresentative of employers in the United States.(Hint: See Example 10.11.)

A recent PwC survey of 1,379 CEOs from a wide range of industries representing a mix of company sizes from Asia, Europe, and the Americas indicated that CEOs are firmly convinced that it is harder to gain and retain people's trust in an increasingly digitalized world (pwc.to/2jFLzjF). Fifty-eight percent of CEOs are worried that lack of trust in business would harm their company's growth. Which risks arising from connectivity concern CEOs most? Eighty-seven percent believe that social media could have a negative impact on the level of trust in their industry over the next few years. But they also say new dangers are emerging and old ones are getting worse as new technologies and new uses of existing technologies increase rapidly. CEOs are particularly anxious about breaches in data security and ethics and IT outages and disruptions. A vast majority of CEOs are already taking steps to address these concerns, with larger-sized companies doing more than smaller-sized companies. a.…
According to the Pew Research Center,on the propotion of the American population who use only a cellular telephone (landline) is 0.37. Jason conducts a survey of one hundred fifty 20 to 24 year olds who live on their own and finds that 73 do not have a landline to their home. Does this provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of 20 to 24 year olds who live on their own and don't have a landline is greater than 0.37? Use a=0.10 level of significance. A) Verify that nP0(1-P0)>10 and n< 0.05N (Assume the population sizes is N=40 million) B) State the appropiate null and alternative hypotheses. C) Indicate whether the hypothesis is left, right, or two- tailed.

What is the conclusion of the hypothesis test?
A researcher finds that of 1000 people who said that they attend a religious service at least once a week, 31 stopped to help a person with car trouble. Of 1200 people interviewed who had not attended a religious service at least once a month, 22 stopped to help a person with car trouble. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the two proportions are equal.
Do well-rounded people get fewer colds? A study on the Chronicle of Higher Education was conducted by scientist at Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Virginia. They found that people who have only a few social outlets get more colds than those who are involved in a variety of social activities. Suppose that of the 276 healthy men and women tested, n1=96 had only a few social outlets and n2=105 were busy with six or more activities. When these people were exposed to a cold virus, the following results were observed: Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in the two population proportions.
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…

The table cross-classifies 68,694 passengers in cars and light trucks involved in accidents in the state of Maine by whether or not they were wearing a seat belt and by whether or not they were injured or killed. The study is using seatbelt wearing to predict injury/death. Injured or Killed? Wore Seatbelt? Yes No Total No 3,865 27,037 30,902 Yes 2,409 35,383 37,792 Total 6,274 62,420 68,694 What are the odds that a passenger was injured or killed if he/she did not wear a seatbelt (Row 1 odds)? What are the odds that a passenger was injured or killed if he/she wore a seatbelt (Row 2 odds)? Interpret both results. Describe the strength of the association between seatbelt use and injury/death using the odds ratio. Calculate the odds ratio and interpret the result?
A professor found out from a senior professor that engineering students in Harp University tend to do good in their Engineering Management subject, claiming that historically, the mean grade of engineering students in the said course is 1.50. Curious if this claim was true, the professor took a random sample of 9 students who took the engineering management subject. Before collecting data, he was undecided about his own claim because he knew of some students who did really good in the course but has also encountered others who did poorly. He found that their mean grade for the course is 1.35 with a standard deviation of 0.50. Use the Test of Significance Approach in testing the professor’s claim. a. Estimate population mean at 90% confidence interval. b. Between z and t, which is more appropriate to use given the data? Why? c. What are the chances that your estimate of population mean was wrong? Describe and explain a potential source of error to your estimate. d. Holding % of CI…
A manufacturer claims that at most 5 percent of thetime a given product will sustain fewer than 1,000 hoursof operation before requiring service. Twenty productswere selected at random from the production line andtested. It was found that three of them required service before 1,000 hours of operation. Comment on the manu-facturer’s claim.
suppose that from a sample of 200,000 new york workers, 32,400 reported traveling more than an hour an day. From this information, statisticians determined that about 16.2% of the workers in the state traveled more than an hou to work every day in 2011. If there were 8,437,512 workers in the entire population, about how many traveled more than an hour to work each day?
A student researcher was surprised to learn that the 2017 NCAA Student-Athlete Substance Use Survey supported that college athletes make healthier decisions in many areas than their peers in the general student body. He collected data of his own, focusing exclusively on male student-athletes to see if such habits vary based on one’s sport. He asked 93 male student-athletes whether they had engaged in binge-drinking in the last month (> 5 drinks in a single sitting).
