The marketing department of an airline wants to show management that more than 60% of business travelers use a laptop computer. A random sample of 546 business travelers found that 355 used a laptop computer. Can the marketing department conclude at α=.01 level of significance that more than 60% of business travelers use a laptop computer?

31% of all pygmy softshell toises 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 manufacturer of baby powder claims that 20 out of 56 mothers prefer brand A of baby powder. A random sample of 25 mothers are selected and asked what brand of baby powder they prefer. If 8 of the 25 mothers prefer Brand A, what is the conclusion? Use z-test at 1% level of significance.

A study is made of residents in Phoenix and its suburbs concerning the proportion of residents who subscribe to Sporting News. A random sample of 90 urban residents showed that 12 subscribed, and a random sample of 97 suburban residents showed that 17 subscribed. Does this indicate that a higher proportion of suburban residents subscribe to Sporting News? Use a 1% level of significance
The manufacturer of a new racecar engine claims that the proportion of engine failures due to overheating for this new engine, (p1)(p1), will be no higher than the proportion of engine failures due to overheating of the old engines, (p2)(p2). To test this statement, NASCAR took a random sample of 215215 of the new racecar engines and 240240 of the old engines. They found that 2222 of the new racecar engines and 1010 of the old engines failed due to overheating during the test. Does NASCAR have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim about the new racecar engine? Use a significance level of α=0.1α=0.1 for the test. Step 4 of 6 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
A pharmaceutical company wants to test whether Aspirin 1 is as effective as Aspirin 2. A random sample of 400 people with headaches are given Aspirin 1 and 260 report they feel better within 1 hour. Another independent random sample of 350 people with headaches are given Aspirin 2 and 220 report they feel better within 1 hour.a) At the 1% level of significance, does there appear to be a difference in theeffectiveness of the 2 types of Aspirin?b) What is the p-value?
A cigarette-manufacturing firm distributes two brands of cigarettes. If it is found that 56 of 200 smokers prefer brand A and 29 of 150 smokers prefer brand B, can we conclude at the .05 level of significance that brand A outsells brand B?
According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.36. Suppose a random sample of 110 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 49 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the α=0.05 level of significance?
The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population. find the p value
In a recent study of a random sample of 113 people, 92 reported dreaming in color. In the 1940’s, the proportion of people who reported dreaming in color was 29%. Is there evidence to show that the proportion of people who dream in color is different than the proportion in the 1940’s? What is the critical value for this hypothesis test?

A large nationwide survey showed that 65% of high school students like Coca-Cola better than Pepsi. Dr.Johnson conducted a small survey of randomly selected high school students in Michigan and found that 180 ofthe 300 surveyed students liked Coca-Cola better than Pepsi. Test if the proportion of students that preferCoca-Cola over Pepsi is significantly different than the percentage indicated by the nationwide survey with asignificance level of 5%.
