What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?
A computer manufacturer believes that the proportion of hardware malfunctions is different in humid climates than in dry climates. To test this claim, the manufacturer takes a random sample of 400 machines sold in Florida (humid) and 400 machines sold in Arizona (dry). The manufacturer finds that 44 of the machines in Florida and 24 of the machines in Arizona had hardware malfunctions. d. Does the evidence support the computer manufacturer's claim at the 10% significance level?
A case-control (or retrospective) study was conducted to investigate a relationship between the colors of helmets worn by motorcycle drivers and whether they are injured or killed in a crash. Results are given in the accompanying table. Using a 0.05 significance level, test the claim that injuries are independent of helmet color.
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (a study of public high school students) showed that 45 of 675 girls and 103 of 621 boys had been in a physical fight on school property one or more times during the past 12 months Using 5% significance, perform an appropriate test of hypothesis that the proportion of girlsinvolved in a physical fight on school property is less than the proportion of boys involved in a physical fight on school property.Step 1: H0: ________________ Ha: ____________________ Significance level α =0.05Step 2: Check necessary data conditions and compute an appropriate test statistic:Step 3: Compute corresponding p-value

A Gallup poll to survey the top concerns of Americans was conducted. Suppose that 725725 women and 745745 men were independently and randomly selected, and that 406406 women and 354354 men chose the state of the economy as their biggest concern. Can we conclude that the proportion of women ( p1p1 ), choosing the state of the economy as their biggest concern, exceeds the proportion of men ( p2p2 )? Use a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05 for the test. Step 2 of 6 : Find the values of the two sample proportions, pˆ1p^1 and pˆ2p^2. Round your answers to three decimal places.
To test the fairness of law enforcement in its area, a local citizens group wanted to know whether women and men are unequally likely to get speeding tickets. 400 randomly selected adults were phoned and asked whether or not they had been cited for speeding in the last year. using the results in the following table and a 0.10 level of significance Men ticket =35, Men not ticketed= 144 women ticketed= 22, women not ticketed = 199 Compute the test statistic
A study compared the drug use of 288 randomly selected high school seniors exposed to a drug education program (DARE) and 335 randomly selected high school seniors who were not exposed to such a program. Data for marijuana use are given in the accompanying table. sample size number who use marijuana exposed to DARE 288 144 not exposed to DARE 335 181 At the 5% significance level, is there convincing evidence that the proportion using marijuana is lower for students exposed to the DARE program?Round these answers to two places after the decimal:Test-statistic = (to two places after the decimal)P-value = (to four places after the decimal)There sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of students using marijuana is lower for students exposed to the DARE program.
In a study of cell phone use and brain hemispheric dominance, an internet survey was e-mailed to 5000 subjects randomly selected from an online group involved with ears. 717 surveys were returned. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the return rate is less than 15%.
