Textbook Question
Chapter 6.3, Problem 4E
The article “Evaluation of Criteria for Setting Speed Limits on Gravel Roads” (S. Dissanayake, Journal of Transportation Engineering, 2011:57–63) measured speeds of vehicles on several roads in the state of Kansas. On South Cedar Niles, 73 vehicles were observed, and 49 of them were exceeding the speed limit. Can you conclude that more than half of the vehicles on South Cedar Niles exceed the speed limit?

The article “Evaluation of Criteria for Setting Speed Limits on Gravel Roads” (S. Dissanayake, Journal of Transportation Engineering, 2011:57–63) measured speeds of vehicles on several roads in the state of Kansas. On South Cedar Niles, 73 vehicles were observed, and 49 of them were exceeding the speed limit. Can you conclude that more than 60% of the vehicles on South Cedar Niles exceed the speed limit?
The table below summarizes data from a survey of a sample of women. Using a 0.01significance level, and assuming that the sample sizes of
800 men and 300 women are predetermined, test the claim that the proportions of agree/disagree responses are the same for subjects interviewed by men and the subjects interviewed by women. Does it appear that the gender of the interviewer affected the responses of women?
Gender of Interviewer
Man
Woman
Women who agree
498
247
Women who disagree
302
53
Compute the test statistic, rounding to three decimal places.
Find the critical value(s). (Round to three decimal places)
What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis test?
According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumerfraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. Inthat year, Arkansas had 1,601 complaints of identity theft out of 3,482 consumercomplaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enoughevidence to show that Arkansas had a higher proportion of identity theft than23%? Test at the 5% level.
