10. Overtime Rule in Football The accompanying table lists results of overtime football games before and after the overtime rule was changed in the National Football League in 2011. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim of independence between winning an overtime game and whether playing under the old rule or the new rule. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the rule change?

In Exercises 5–18, test the given claim.
Tennis Challenges The table below shows results since 2006 of challenged referee calls in the U.S. Open. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the gender of the tennis player is independent of whether the call is overturned. Do players of either gender appear to be better at challenging calls?
In Exercises 5–18, test the given claim.
Lie Detector The table below includes results from polygraph (lie detector) experiments conducted by researchers Charles R. Honts (Boise State University) and Gordon H. Barland (Department of Defense Polygraph Institute). In each case, it was known if the subject lied or did not lie, so the table indicates when the polygraph test was correct. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that whether a subject lies is independent of the polygraph test indication. Do the results suggest that polygraphs are effective in distinguishing between truths and lies?
In Exercises 9–16, (a) write the claim mathematically andidentify and (b) find the critical value(s) and identify the rejectionregion(s), (c) find the standardized test statistic z, (d) decide whether to reject orfail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of theoriginal claim. If convenient, use technology to find the standardized test statistic.
A research center claims that at least 40% of U.S. adults think the Census count is accurate. In a random sample of 600 U.S. adults, 35% say that the Census count is accurate. At ⍶ = 0.02 is there enough evidence to reject the center’s claim?

Ballistic Fingerprinting. Guns make unique markings on bullets they fire and their shell casings. These markings are called ballistic ngerprints. An ABCNEWS Poll examined the opinions of Americans on the enactment of a law “. . . that would require every gun sold in the United States to be test-red first, so law enforcement would have its fingerprint in case it were ever used in a crime.” The following problem is based on the results of that poll. Independent simple random samples were taken of 537 women and 495 men. When asked whether they support a ballistic fingerprinting law, 446 of the women and 307 of the men said “yes.” At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that women tend to favor ballistic fingerprinting more than men?arrow_forward2.b STATISTICAL INFERENCEarrow_forward
