Researchers at an Australian university that introduced the use of plagiarism detection software in a number of courses surveyed 171 students enrolled in those courses (“Student and Staff Perceptions of the Effectiveness of Plagiarism Detection Software,” Australian Journal of Educational Technology [2008]: 222-240). In the survey, 58 of the 171 students indicated that they believed that the use of plagiarism- detection software unfairly targets students. Assuming it is reasonable to regard the sample as representative of students at this university, does the sample provide convincing evidence that more than one-third of the students at the university believe that the use of plagiarism-detection software unfairly targets students?

The article "Freedom of What?" (Associated Press, February 1, 2005) described a study in which high school students and high school teachers were asked whether they agreed with the following statement: "Students should be allowed to report controversial issues in their student newspapers without the approval of school authorities." Researchers hypothesized that the long-run proportion of high school teachers who would agree with the statement would differ from the long-run proportion of high school students who would agree. Two random samples - 8,000 high school teachers and 10,000 high school students were selected from high schools in the U.S. It was reported that 39% of the teachers surveyed and 58% of the students surveyed agreed with the statement. A simulated null distribution of 1,000 differences in proportions created by using the Two Proportion applet is shown below.

According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in the U.S. in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumers ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a different proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at 5% level.
In a poll conducted by The New York Times and CBS News, 44% of Americans approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing (The New York Times, June 8, 2012). Assume that this percentage was true for the population of Americans at the time of this poll was conducted. A recent poll of 1339 Americans showed that 38% of them approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing. At a 10% significance level, can you conclude that the current proportion of Americans who approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing is different from 44%?

In a recent year, 32.4% of recorded music sales were full-length CDs, 54.1% digital downloads, 10.5% singles, and the rest a mixture of other formats. A survey of college students and their recent music purchases indicated that out of 135 purchases, 63 were downloads, 48 were full-length CDs, 14 were singles, and the rest fit into the "other" category. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that at least one of the proportions differs from its original value?
