Administrators at the stock exchange claim that only 8% of all companies report incorrect higher profits, but you suspect that the proportion is much higher. Use the results of the audit of 200 companies with results that 30 reported incorrect higher profits to answer the following. a. State the null and alternative hypotheses. b. Check to be sure that we are allowed to use Normal calculations. c. Complete the Test on calculator. Report the test statistic value and the p-value. d. State your conclusion regarding the results of your hypothesis test in context of the problem. How many companies should have been audited at 95% confidence level in order for the margin of error to be 3%? Use p=0.08 in your formula. Show all work. Round appropriately e.

If you have questioned that your significant hypothesis test is significant “enough” to have true meaning, what are some other things you can look at to determine practical significance?
Complete the following four hypotheses, using α = 0.05 for each. The week 5 spreadsheet can be used in these analyses. 1. Mean sales per week exceed 42.5 per salesperson 2. Proportion receiving online training is less than 55% 3 Mean calls made among those with no training is at least 145 4. Mean time per call is 14.7 minutes Using the same data set from part A, perform the hypothesis test for each speculation in order to see if there is evidence to support the manager's belief. Use the Eight Steps of a Test of Hypothesis from Section 9.1 of your text book as a guide. You can use either the p-value or the critical values to draw conclusions. Be sure to explain your conclusion and interpret that to the claim in simple terms Compute 99% confidence intervals for the variables used in each hypothesis test, and interpret these intervals. Write a report about the results, distilling down the results in a way that would be understandable to someone who does not know statistics. Clear…
It is believed that the percent of convicted felons who have a history of juvenile delinquency is 70%. Isthere evidence to support the claim that the actual percentage is more than 70% if out of 200 convictedfelons, we find that 154 have a history of juvenile delinquency?

The average monthly rent for one-bedroom apartments in Sampaloc, Manila has been P10,000. Because of the downturn in the real estate market, it is believed that there has been a decrease in the average rental. The correct hypotheses to be tested are H0: μ < 10,000 Ha: μ ≥ 10.000. H0: μ ≥ 10,000 Ha: μ < 10,000 H0: μ > 10,000 Ha: μ ≤ 10,000. H0: μ = 10,000 Ha: μ ≠ 10,000.
According to Emergency Room Statistics, in any 6 month period, 15.2% of asthmatic children not on inhalers will have an asthmatic complication requiring the emergency room. A pharmaceutical firm has developed a new steroidal inhaler. The company believes that the use of this steroidal inhaler will decrease the percentage of asthmatic children requiring emergency room care for asthmatic complications. Because the FDA requires 2-sided hypothesis tests, the company tested the following claim: In any 6 month period, the percentage of asthmatic children using their steroidal inhaler that require emergency room care for asthmatic complications will not be 15.2%. To test their claim, they took a simple random sample of 260 asthmatic children and had them use a steroidal inhaler for 6 months. Of the 260 children, 60 required emergency room care for asthmatic complications at some time in the 6 month period. (c) What is the critical value which represents a boundary between the rejection region…
