A research center claims that at least
2626%
of adults in a certain country think that their taxes will be audited. In a random sample of
900900
adults in that country in a recent year,
2323%
say they are concerned that their taxes will be audited. At
alphaαequals=0.100.10,
is there enough evidence to reject the center's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) below.
Identify the critical values
As the alpha level gets lower, which error rate also gets lower? Type I Type II
The article “Effect of Internal Gas Pressure on the Com- pression Strength of Beverage Cans and Plastic Bottles” (J. of Testing and Evaluation, 1993: 129–131) includes the accompanying data on compression strength (lb) for a sample of 12-oz aluminum cans filled with strawberry drink and another sample filled with cola. Does the data suggest that the extra carbonation of cola results in a higher average compression strength? Base your answer on a P-value. What assumptions are necessary for your analysis? ( use ? = 0.01 )
