HYPOTHESIS TESTING: 6. A study was designed to compare the smoking habits of married men with those married women. A random sample of 240 men revealed that 180 smoked. A random sample of 220 women indicate that 54 smoked. At the 0.01 significance level does the evidence show that a higher proportion of men smoke?

Some shrubs have the useful ability to resprout from their roots after their tops are destroyed. Fire is a particular threat to shrubs in dry climates, as it can injure the roots as well as destroy the aboveground material. One study of resprouting took place in a dry area of Mexico. The investigation clipped the tops of samples of several species of shrubs. In some cases, they also applied a propane torch to the stumps to simulate a fire. Of 17 specimens of a particular species, 6 resprouted after fire. Estimate with 95% confidence the proportion of all shrubs of this species that will resprout after fire.Interval:

Reducing scrap of 4-foot planks of hardwood is an important factor in reducing cost at a wood-flooring manufacturing company. Accordingly, engineers at Lumberworks are investigating a potential new cutting method involving lateral sawing that may reduce the scrap rate. To examine its viability, samples of 600 and 500 planks, respectively, were examined under the old and new methods. Sixty-one of the 600 planks were scrapped under the old method, whereas 36 of the 500 planks were scrapped under the new method. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table)a. Construct the 99% confidence interval for the difference between the population scrap rates between the old and new methods, respectively. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
The personality trait of "Conscientiousness" (someone who is organized, responsible, and can control their impulses) has μ = 120 and σ =9. Test whether ARC students (n = 9, M = 126) differ on Conscientiousness. α = .05. Does the z score for the sample mean lie in the critical region (beyond the critical boundary)?
A test of body reaction to the Malaysian citizens who have taken their vaccine was conducted. Selected citizens who got side effect are categorised according to their blood type and the type of vaccine received. From a sample of 250 citizens, 150 of them were administered withSinovac while the rest received AstraZeneca. Table 4 shows the number of citizens who had side effect after being vaccinated.
