Chapter 10.4, Problem 35E
In a test of the quality of two television commercials, each commercial was shown in a separate test area six times over a one-week period. The following week a telephone survey was conducted to identify individuals who had seen the commercials. Those individuals were asked to state the primary message in the commercials. The following results were recorded.
| Commercial A | Commercial B | |
| Number Who Saw Commercial | 150 | 200 |
| Number Who Recalled Message | 63 | 60 |
- a. Use α = .05 and test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the recall proportions for the two commercials.
- b. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the recall proportions for the two populations.

Results of the driving testGender First time Second timeMen 126 211Women 135 178a) Do these data suggest that there is a relationship between gender and the passing of their driver’s test from which the present sample was drawn? Let alpha=.05
In a study of a group of women science majors who remained in their profession and a group who left their profession within a few months of graduation, the researchers collected the data shown here on a self-esteem questionnaire.
Leavers Stayers1 = 3.05 2 = 2.92σ1 = 0.71 σ2 = 0.71n1 = 100 n2 = 227At α = 0.05, can it be concluded that there is a difference in the self-esteem scores of the two groups? Use the P-value method.
(c) 100 males and 100 females are asked a series of question to determine whether that are considered heavy drinkers or not.45 of males are considered heavy drinkers.56 of females are classified as heavy drinkers .execute a hypothesis test as to whether there is relationship between gender and drinking at alpha 0.05.

- A disgruntled employee of a prominent delivery company in Baltimore County is accused of adding water into the fuel tanks of a large fleet of delivery vehicles. The manager asked the guard who observed the act to walk the parking lot with him to identify a sample of vehicles closer to the guards' booth.
