The table below summarizes data from a survey of a sample of women. Using a 0.01significance level, and assuming that the sample sizes of 800 men and 300 women are predetermined, test the claim that the proportions of agree/disagree responses are the same for subjects interviewed by men and the subjects interviewed by women. Does it appear that the gender of the interviewer affected the responses of women? Gender of Interviewer Man Woman Women who agree 498 247 Women who disagree 302 53 Compute the test statistic, rounding to three decimal places. Find the critical value(s). (Round to three decimal places) What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis test?
A forester wanted to survey spruce trees on one face of a mountain in order to determine the percentage of spruce trees that were infested or were attacked by a very destructive insect known as the tomentosus. The forester obtained a map of the mountain and then subdivided the area of interest into 400 square grids with each square covering an area of 100 square metres. A simple random sample of 50 squares was selected, and for each selected square, the survey team determined the total number of spruce trees and the number of such trees that were infested or had been attacked by the tomentosus. What sampling design was used for this survey? If the tomentosus is believed to be evenly distributed throughout the face of this mountain, would you recommend this sampling design? Why or why not? If the tomentosus prefers to reside in regions of the mountain face with higher temperatures and hence lower elevations, would you recommend using a different sampling design? Explain your answer…

According to the Pew Research Center,on the propotion of the American population who use only a cellular telephone (landline) is 0.37. Jason conducts a survey of one hundred fifty 20 to 24 year olds who live on their own and finds that 73 do not have a landline to their home. Does this provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of 20 to 24 year olds who live on their own and don't have a landline is greater than 0.37? Use a=0.10 level of significance. A) Verify that nP0(1-P0)>10 and n< 0.05N (Assume the population sizes is N=40 million) B) State the appropiate null and alternative hypotheses. C) Indicate whether the hypothesis is left, right, or two- tailed.

A research team is hired to investigate the prevalence of periodontal disease in a rural countywith a low average socio-economic status. The team is given the task of surveying the area, andproviding a brief examination of participants to correctly identify cases of periodontal diseaseand estimate an overall prevalence. If the team identifies an overall prevalence of above 25%, thesponsoring organization is to initiate an active campaign promoting healthy dental practice. Outof 2,879 participants surveyed, 589 were identified to have periodontal disease. A) Conduct a formal test for detecting if the prevalence of periodontal disease in the sample issignificantly different from the minimum prevalence for intervention. Use an alpha level of 0.01.B) Interpret your conclusions.
