Has that rate of genetic testing changed in recent years in the U.S.? In a 2016 Harvard Poll of 1,489 randomly selected U.S. adults, 107 said that they had personally had some type of genetic testing done. Use the steps below and a significance (alpha) level of 0.02 to lest the hypothesis that the population proportion of U.S. adults who have had genetic testing done was different in 2016 than it is today. Let's pretend that we have evidence that the population proportion today is 8%.
* For this scenario, what would be the null hypothesis?
* For this scenario, what would be the alternative hypotheses? (Note: the word
"hypothesis" is singular, and the plural of that word is "hypotheses.")
A student-researcher claims that the difference between the proportion of male athletes and that of female athletes in a certain university who live in Makati is far from 7.25%. 285 male athletes have been selected at random, and 113 of them reside in Makati. On the other hand, 171 female athletes have been chosen as samples, and 67 of them are from Makati as well. At alpha = 0.01, is there sufficient evidence to support the student-researcher’s claim? (Critical value approach)
Historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the previous six months, in a sample of 115 new car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. To determine (at the 10% level of significance) whether the proportion of new car buyers that trade in their old car has this is  statistically significantly decreased, what can you conclude concerning the null hypothesis?
A) reject the null hypothesis
Or
B) fail to reject the null hypothesis
