Past records indicate that 45% of students eat breakfast while driving to school. A campaign to reduce distracted diving, "Don't Eat and Drive" was launched by a community group. The results of the campaign showed 43% of the 250 students randomly surveyed said they eat breakfast while driving to school. Conduct a 1- sample proportion test at α=.01 to determine if the campaign significantly reduced the proportion of students eat breakfast while driving to school.

A sample of 124 kissing couples were observed, with 44 of them leaning their heads to the left. Use these sample data to test whether or not the population proportion of kissing couples who lean their heads to the left differs from 1/3. What is the z and p-value?
In the nation of Gondor, the EPA requires that half the new cars sold will meet a certain particulate emission standard a year later. A sample of 64 one-year-old cars revealed that only 20 met the particulate emission standard. What is the test statistic to see whether the proportion is below the requirement?
A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion
A study on the effects of color on easing test anxiety compared anxiety test scores of participants who completed a test printed on either soft yellow paper or harsh green paper. The scores for the 10 participants who completed the yellow and the 10 participants who completed it on the green paper are below (Table 5). Using an alpha level of .05, do participants who use the yellow paper report lower test anxiety than those who wrote it on the harsh green paper? Table 5. Anxiety scores
In a study to estimate the proportion of smokers among the residents in a certain city and its suburbs, it is found that 24 of 104 urban residents aresmokers, while 34 of 108 suburban residents are smokers. Is there a significant difference between the proportions of smokers among urban and suburban residents? Make use of a P-value.
31% of all pygmy softshell tortoises have stripes on their shells. A herpetologist in Cititon collects a sample of 28 pygmy softshell tortoises and finds that 8 of them have stripes on their shells. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at a significance of alpha = 0.05, that the proportion of pygmy softshell tortoises in Cititon with stripes on their shells is less than 31%? What is the claim? What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis? What is the test statistic? What is/are the critical value(s)? Do we reject the null hypothesis? What conclusion do we draw? What is the P-value for the problem above?

To combat antibiotic resistance, the Quality Improvement Consortium recommends a throat swab to confirm strep throat before a physician prescribes antibiotics to children under age 5. Nationally, 40 percent of children under 5 who received antibiotics did not have a throat swab. The Colorado Department of Health took a random sample of 100 children under the age of 5 who received antibiotics for throat infections and found that 30 did not have a throat swab. At α = .05, is this a statistically significant reduction over last year’s national rate of 40 percent? (a-1) Choose the correct null and alternative hypotheses. H0: π ≥ .40 vs. H1: π < .40 H0: π ≤ .40 vs. H1: π > .40 H0: π = .40 vs. H1: π ≠ .40 (a-2) Calculate the critical value. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Critical value (a-3) Calculate the test statistic. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your…
To combat antibiotic resistance, the Quality Improvement Consortium recommends a throat swab to confirm strep throat before a physician prescribes antibiotics to children under age 5. Nationally, 40 percent of children under 5 who received antibiotics did not have a throat swab. The Colorado Department of Health took a random sample of 60 children under the age of 5 who received antibiotics for throat infections and found that 18 did not have a throat swab. At α = .05, is this a statistically significant reduction over last year’s national rate of 40 percent? (a-1) Calculate the critical value. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.

In a test of H0: p = 0.8 against H1: p ≠ 0.8, a sample of size 1000 produces Z = 2.05 for the value of the test statistic. Thus the p-value (or observed level of significance) of the test is approximately equal to:
