The financial manager of a national warehouse chain has found from previous experience that 55% of clients pay by credit card, 30% pay on account, while the remainder pays using cash. He wishes to know if this is still the case. A random sample of 1000 sales receipts from the last month produced the following results: Payment method Credit card Account Cash Total Number of receipts 525 295 180 1000 Using a 5% significance level, test whether the payment method pattern has changed.

A direct mail appeal for contributions from a university’s alumni and supporters is considered to be too costly if less than 15% of the alumni and supporters provide monetary contributions. To determine if a direct mail appeal is cost effective, the fundraising director sends the direct mail brochures to a simple random sample of 173 people on the alumni and supporters mailing lists. They receive monetary contributions from 18 people. Does this evidence demonstrate that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective? Use a 0.02 level of significance. Step 1 of 3 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. H0: p=0.15 Ha: p⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯0.15
A direct mail appeal for contributions from a university’s alumni and supporters is considered to be too costly if less than 14% of the alumni and supporters provide monetary contributions. To determine if a direct mail appeal is cost effective, the fundraising director sends the direct mail brochures to a simple random sample of 206 people on the alumni and supporters mailing lists. They receive monetary contributions from 21 people. Does this evidence demonstrate that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective? Use a 0.10 level of significance.Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
A direct mail appeal for contributions from a university’s alumni and supporters is considered to be too costly if less than 13% of the alumni and supporters provide monetary contributions. To determine if a direct mail appeal is cost effective, the fundraising director sends the direct mail brochures to a simple random sample of 204 people on the alumni and supporters mailing lists. They receive monetary contributions from 19 people. Does this evidence demonstrate that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective? Use a 0.02 level of significance. Step 3 of 3 : Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision. A. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is suficient evidence at 0.02 level of significance that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective. B. We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is suficient evidence at 0.02 level of significance that the direct mail campaign is not cost effective. C.

A random sample of 1000 sales receipts from the last month produced the following results: Payment Method Credit Card Account Cash Total Number of receipts 620 260 120 1000 Using a 5% significance level, test whether the payment method pattern has changed.
A standardized math test was administered to two groups of 5th graders, one group sampled from classes whose teachers had followed the existing curriculum and one group sampled from classes whose teachers had followed a new curriculum, and the scores were compared using a t-test with the following results: Old Curriculum New Curriculum Mean 75.31914894 65.65957447 Variance 118.613321 801.1424607 Observations 47 47 Pooled Variance 459.8778908 Hypothesized Mean Difference 0 df 92 t Stat 2.1835887807 P(T<=)one tail 0.015768226 t Critical one-tail 1.661585397 P(T<=t) two-tail 0.031536452 t Critical two-tail 1.986086317 You decide to use the conventional p=.05 as your cutoff for statistical significance.

A random sample of 1100 potential voters was randomly divided into 2 groups. Group 1: 500 potential voters; no registration reminders sent; 248 registered to vote Group 2: 600 potential voters; registration reminders sent; 332 registered to vote Do these data support the claim that the proportion of voters who registered was greater in the group that received reminders than in the group that did not? Use a 1% level of significance.
An LED light bulb manufacturer claims that the average lifespan of its 60-watt LED light bulbs is 43,000 hours.A corporate watchdog group is suspicious of the company's claim and thinks that the true average lifespan of the 60-watt LED light bulbs produced by the company may be less than the advertised 43,000 hours. The group collected and tested a random sample of 240 light bulbs and found the average lifespan of the sample was 42,958 hours.Use the p-value method to test the hypothesis that the mean lifespan of this brand of 60-watt LED light bulb is less than 43,000 hours, using α=0.025α=0.025. Assume the standard deviation of the lifespan of all such light bulbs is known to be 430 hours.State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test.H0:H0: H1:H1: Determine if this test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. right-tailed two-tailed left-tailed Should the standard normal (zz) distribution or Student's (tt) distribution be used for this…

According to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA), 2% of the 771,556,886 travelers who utilized 440 federalized airports in 2017 waited more than 20 minutes in the TSA security line. The File TSAWaitTimes contains waiting Times in TSA security lines at a major U.S. airport for a recent random sample 10,531 travelers. Use these Data to test the hypothesis that the proportion of travelers waiting more than 20 minutes in TSA security lines at this airport is the same as the national proportion at α = .05 Data given: Time In Line Mean 11.99496 Median 11.97536 Standard Deviation 3.992043 Confidence Level(95.0%) 0.076253 Provide a 95% confidence interval with interpretation
