nduct a poll of FIU students in order to determine the percentage of students (p) who agree with the statement “Hot-dogs are one of my favorite foods”. In your poll, you find that 80 out of 100 students agree. You conduct a two-sided hypothesis test where H0: p = 0.7, where p is the proportion of students whose favorite food is hot dogs. Compute the p-value.

A ski lift manager is interested in the average daily number of ski lift users. In previous years, fewer than 945 people, on average, have used the ski lift daily over the winter season. The manager suspects this average has increased in recent years. If the ski lift manager chooses to use the p-value approach for his hypothesis test, what does he need to compare the p-value to?
You complete a hypothesis test using alpha = .05 and based on the evidence from the sample, your decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis. If the treatment actually does have an effect, which of the following is true?
Dreamfilms Studios boasts that its summer features are so good that at least half of all tickets sold one summer are for its films. A competing studio claims that less than half of all tickets sold are for Dreamfilms' movies. After the hypothesis test is completed, the conclusion is to fail to reject the null hypothesis. If the true percentage of tickets sold for Dreamfilms Studios' movies that summer was only 48%, was an error committed? If so, what type?
The manufacturer of a new antidepressant claims that, among all people with depression who use the drug, the proportion p of people who find relief from depression is at least 65%. A random sample of 170 patients who use this new drug is selected, and 100 of them find relief from depression. Based on these data, can we reject the manufacturer's claim at the 0.1 level of significance? State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 Find the z test value Find the p-value Can we reject the claim that the proportion of people who find relief from depression using the new antidepressant is at least 65%? Yes or No?
You are asked to test the null hypothesis at the .05 level of significance and you end up with z-observed being equal to -1.83. What would be the appropriate decision to make?
In a recent study of a random sample of 113 people, 92 reported dreaming in color. In the 1940’s, the proportion of people who reported dreaming in color was 29%. Is there evidence to show that the proportion of people who dream in color is different than the proportion in the 1940’s? What is the critical value for this hypothesis test?

For the T-test of the single sample, does the GPA of a group of students who were considered gifted in primary school is higher than the university's mean GPA? How do you state your hypothesis and then how do you decide based on the t-test if we should reject the null hypothesis?
The proportion of mango trees on an island that produce only dwarf fruit is p1. The proportion of mango trees on a different island that produce only dwarf fruit is p2. What is the null hypothesis for a test to determine if the proportions are different between the two islands? Select the correct answer below: H0: p1−p2≠0 H0: p1−p2=0 H0: p1−p2>0 H0: p1−p2<0
. The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. If you were conducting a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population, what would the null and alternative hypotheses be?
Based on this p value can we reject the null hypothesis??
Explain whether or not rejecting the null hypothesis makes the alternative hypothesis true and why. If I conduct a hypothesis testing with Type I error set at 0.05 and a resulting p-value of 0.3, what would my conclusion be?
A major credit card company is interested in the proportion of individuals who use a competitor’s credit card. Their null hypothesis is H0: p=0.65H0: p=0.65, and based on a sample they find a sample proportion of 0.70 and a pp-value of 0.053. Is there convincing statistical evidence at the 0.05 level of significance that the true proportion of individuals who use the competitor’s card is actually greater than 0.65 ?
