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?
A humane society claims that less than 39% of U.S. households own a dog. In a random sample of 402 U.S. households, 155say they own a dog. At α=0.01, is there enough evidence to support the society's claim?
(a) Write the claim mathematically and identify
H0 and Ha.
(b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s).

- Data taken from a random sample of 60 students chosen from the student population of a large urban high school indicated that 36 of them planned to pursue post-secondary education. An independent random sample of 50 students taken at a neighboring large suburban high school resulted in data that indicated that 31 of those students planned to pursue post-secondary education.

Suppose researchers suspect that the proportion of left-handed people is higher in certain states than the national average. The researchers conduct a sample of 200 randomly selected people in the state of Maine and find that 29 people in the sample are left-handed.a. Write the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis and define your parameter.b. Show that the necessary conditions (Randomization Condition, 10% Condition, Sample Size Condition) are satisfied to perform a hypothesis test. Briefly explain how each condition is satisfied.c.

Test, at the 5% level, the null hypothesis that the quality of the output from this week conforms to the usual pattern.arrow_forward
