Random samples of 900 people in the United States and in Great Britain indicated that 60% of the people in the United States were positive about the future economy, whereas 66% of the people in Great Britain were positive about the future economy. Does this provide strong evidence that the people in Great Britain are more optimistic about the economy (alpha = 0,01)?

A survey of 90 recently delivered women on the rolls of a county welfare department revealed that 27 had a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection. Can we conclude that the population proportion with a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection is significantly less than or equal to 0.25? Let alpha = 0.05.
A survey in 2019 asked a random sample of U.S. adults if they believed the government was tracking all or most of their activities online or on their cell phones. Of the 671 adults aged 18–29, 396 said “yes.” Of the 977 adults aged 65 or older, 293 said “yes.” Do we have evidence to claim that the proportion is higher among the young adults as compared to the older adults? (test hypothesis at level alpha =0.05).

A researcher conducted a medical study to investigate whether taking a low-dose aspirin reduces the chance of developing colon cancer. As part of the study, 1,000 adult volunteers were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Half of the volunteers were assigned to the experimental group that took a low-dose aspirin each day, and the other half were assigned to the control group that took a placebo each day. At the end of six years, 15 of the people who took the low-dose aspirin had developed colon cancer and 26 of the people who took the placebo had developed colon cancer. At the significance level α = 0.05, do the data provide convincing statistical evidence that taking a low-dose aspirin each day would reduce the chance of developing colon cancer among all people similar to the volunteers?
A sample of men and women who had passed their driver's test either the first time or the second time were surveyed, with the following results: Results of the driving testGender First time Second timeMen 126 211Women 135 178a) Do these data suggest that there is a relationship between gender and the passing of their driver’s test from which the present sample was drawn?

Shoplifting costs retail businesses a great deal of money every year. In spite of thisthe historical evidence suggests that only 50% of all shoplifters are turned over to thepolice. A random survey of 40 retailers revealed that 24 of them had turned their mostrecent shoplifter in to the police. Use alpha = 0.05 for all tests. Test to see if this sample data indicates that more shoplifters are being turned in thanin the past?
Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and an SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Write down the hypotheses that would be appropriate for testing if the police officers appear to have been exposed to a higher concentration of lead. Explicitly state and check all conditions necessary for inference on these data. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration…

A travel association says the daily lodging costs for a family in the United States is $132. You work for a tourist publication and want to test this claim. You randomly selected 10 U.S. families and find out how much each spent on lodging for one overnight trip. At alpha=0.02, can you reject the travel association's claim?
