- Tourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida. Hotel occupancy is an often-reported measure of visitor volume and visitor activity (Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2018). Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows. Ho: P1 P2 less than or equal to 0 Ha P1 P2 greater than 0 b. What is the estimated proportion of hotel rooms occupied each year (to 2 decimals)? 1,435 1,750 1,422 1,800 a. Formulate the hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether there has been an increase in the proportion of rooms occupied over the one-year period. Let P1 = population proportion of rooms occupied for current year P2 = population proportion of rooms occupied for previous year Current year Previous Year .82 .05 p-value = .7997 Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? .014 c.

This is measured by the conversion rate, the percentage of web-site visitors who buy something in their visit to a site. Until today you believed that the conversion rate for your startup was 10.1%. You have redesigned your website in an attempt to increase your startup's conversion rates. A sample of 250 web-site visitors at the redesigned web-site was selected. Suppose that 30 web-site visitors made a purchase. Your co-founder is asking you if there is evidence of an increase in conversion rate at the 1% level of significance. Given the data above, what p-value should the startup co-founders use to decide whether the conversion rate has increased? What will your decision be? A. p-value = 0.5248 and therefore we Do Not Reject H0. B. p-value = 0.9758 and therefore we Reject H0. C. p-value = 0.9758 and therefore we Do Not Reject H0. D.…arrow_forwardComplete part C. C.
