The results of the student responses, broken down by gender, are found in the following table. Male Female In favor 126 105 Opposed 84 115 Is the proportion of male students in favor of the fee increase significantly different from the proportion of female students in favor of the fee? Carry out a significance test of this problem at alpha = .05. Provide each of the following in your answer. a) State the null and alternative hypotheses for this problem situation. Use correct notation. b) Compute the test statistic c) List the critical value(s) and make a decision by comparing the test statistic to the critical value(s). d) List the p-value and make a decision by comparing the p-value to alpha. e) In 1-2 complete sentences, state the conclusion of this test in the context of the problem situation.

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?
A nutritionist compared the effectiveness of an online diet program to that of an inperson diet program. After three months, she compared the number of pounds of weight lost. The control group (in-person) lost a mean of 18.00 pounds (s = 14.50, n = 16) and the experimental group (online) lost 16.00 pounds (s = 13.30, n = 21). Use an alpha of .05, a two-tailed test, s2pooled = 191.19, and sM1−M2 = 4.5 to determine if there is a difference between the two programs.

A survey was recently conducted in which males and females were asked whether they owned a laptop personal computer. The following data were observed: Males Females Have Laptop 120 70 No Laptop 50 60 Given this information, if an alpha level of .05 is used, the critical value for testing whether the two variables are independent is x2 = 3.8415.

A geneticist conducted a hybridization experiment with peas, which resulted in offspring consisting of 410 peas with green pods and 150 peas with yellow pods. According to Mendel’s theory, 1/4 of the offspring peas should have yellow pods. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of peas with yellow pods is equal to 0.25. Provide answers below.
A random sample of 50 COS students contained 13 that owned an iPhone. A random sample of 200 Fresno State students contained 70 that owned an iPhone. Use these data to test the claim that the proportion of COS students who own an iPhone is the same as the proportion of Fresno State students who own an iPhone at the 0.05 level of significance.

The results were tabulated below. Students Favourable Neutral Unfavourable Engineering 80 60 70 Architecture 100 50 70 Test the hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the study habits and academic performance using a 0.05 level of significance.
In a survey of 460 drivers from the South, 397 wear a seat belt. In a survey of 340 drivers from the Northeast, 281 wear a seat belt. At alpha equals 0.06 , can you support the claim that the proportion of drivers who wear seat belts is greater in the South than in the Northeast? Assume the random samples are independent. Complete parts (a) through (e).
The NAEP considers that a national average of 283 is an acceptable performance. Using α = .05, run a two-tail t-test for one sample to test Ho: µ=283 for the 2019 scores. Report the t-obt, df, and p-values. Would you reject the null hypothesis that the 2019 scores come from a population with average 283? If this is the case, does it come from a population from larger or smaller average?

Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 900 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy .) A study was conducted on a sample of 27 randomly selected tardigrade colonies, finding that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 907 Gy , with a sample standard deviation of 17 Gy . Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level of significance, to support the claim that μ , the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 900…
