A company is considering an organizational change which entails adopting the use of self-managed work teams which they hope will lead to higher levels of employee satisfaction. In order to assess the attitudes of employees of the company towards this change a sample of 250 employees was selected and asked whether they favor the institution of self-managed teams. Three responses were allowed: favor, neutral or oppose. The observed frequency of the results of the survey are shown below:

A salesman for a new manufacturer of cellular phones claims not only that they cost the retailer less but also that the percentage of defective cellular phones found among his products, ( p1 ), will be no higher than the percentage of defectives found in a competitor's line, ( p2 ). To test this statement, the retailer took a random sample of 185 of the salesman's cellular phones and 150 of the competitor's cellular phones. The retailer found that 22 of the salesman's cellular phones and 11 of the competitor's cellular phones were defective. Does the retailer have enough evidence to reject the salesman's claim? Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test.
Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
Many parents allow underage children to drink alcohol in limited situations when an adult is present to supervise. The idea is that teens will learn responsible drinking
habits if they first experience alcohol in a controlled environment. Other parents take a strict no-drinking approach. Researchers surveyed a sample of 200 students

- Textbook authors must be careful that the reading level of their book is appropriate for the target audience. Some methods of assessing reading level require estimating the average word length. We've randomly chosen 20 words from a randomly selected page in Intro Stats and counted the number of letters in each word: 5, 5, 2, 11, 3, 5, 6, 8, 5, 4, 7, 2, 9, 4, 8, 10, 4, 7, 6, 9 Suppose that our editor was hoping that the book would have a mean word length of 6.8 letters.

Some years ago, a new brand of toothpaste was introduced in the United States.

After six months, a dentist examined each person's teeth and scored the health of his or her teeth on a scale of 0 (lowest possible score) to 100 (highest possible score).

Based on past records, it is generally believed that on an average, a typical University of Technology and Applied Sciences, Nizwa student spends about 25 hours in the LRC per week. Recently, the library has been shifted to a new location which is further away from the academic block. As a result, the administration feels that students may be spending less time in the library. Accordingly a random sample of 41 students were selected and the average number of hours they spend in the library came out to be 16.78 with a standard deviation of 5.17. Carry out an appropriate test of hypotheses for the above problem to test whether the shifting of the library has adversely impacted the study time in the population of all students.
