Sixty-eight percent of online courses taught at community colleges nationwide were taught by Mi-time faculty. To test If 68°o also represents California’s percent for Mi-time faculty teaching the online classes, Long Beach City College (LBCC) In California, was randomly selected for comparison. In the same year, 3.1 of the.1.1 online courses LBCC offered were taught by MI-time faculty Conduct a hypothesis test to determine If 68% represents California. NOTE: For more accurate results, use more California community colleges and this past year’s data.

- Fifty-five customers of a large-chain grocery store are asked to fill out an in-store survey. One of the questions on the survey asks about the use of coupons (yes or no), while another question asks how much money the customer spent on groceries during that specific trip. A store management hypothesizes that people that use coupons actually spend more money, on average.

A herpetologist in Cititon collects a sample of 28 pygmy softshell tortoises and finds that 8 of them have stripes on their shells. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at a significance of alpha=0.05, that the proportion of pygmy softshell tortoises in Cititon with stripes on their shells is less than 31%? What is the claim? What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis? What is the test statistic? What is/are the critical value(s)? Do we reject the null hypothesis? What conclusion do we draw? What is the P-value for the problem above?arrow_forwardIf the proportion of the population in City A that is over 65 years old is p1 and the proportion of the population in City B that is over 65 years old is p2, what is the null hypothesis for a test to determine if the proportion of the population that is over 65 years old is greater in City A?arrow_forward
- In a population-based cohort study, an entire community was interviewed regarding smoking habits and then followed for one year. Upon ascertainment of all lung cancer deaths, the investigator obtained the following data: Number of Individuals Lung Cancer Deaths Smokers 24,500 15 Nonsmokers 10,500 2 Calculate the risk difference per 100,000 per year. Round to the tenth decimaarrow_forwardThe National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any two-year period, approximately 10.5percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 150 people in a certain town, eight of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. If you were conducting a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population, what would the null and alternative hypotheses be?arrow_forwardA European football agency reports the following based on a study they did: 90% of soccer players take magnesium in topical form for muscle soreness, 5.5% take magnesium in pill form, and 4.5% take magnesium in powder form. To verify, a researcher randomly selects 794 soccer players and reports the following. Form of magnesium (Mg) Number of soccer players Topical 632 Pill 95 Powder 67 To determine if the proportions the European football agency reported are accurate, the researcher will conduct a Chi-square Goodness of Fit test. Complete the table below to calculate the chi-square statistic. Round all values to two decimal places! (Use the correct expected counts from the previous question.)

- In the following, define in words the population parameter p. Twenty students are randomly selected from the list of all sorority and fraternity members at a university, to determine if a majority of sorority and fraternity students favor a new policy on alcohol on campus. The hypotheses are as follows: H0: p = .50Ha: p > .50 a) The proportion of fraternity members favoring a new alcohol policy on campus. b)The proportion of sorority students favoring a new alcohol policy on campus. c) The proportion of one student favoring a new alcohol policy on campus. d) The proportion of all students favoring a new alcohol policy on campusarrow_forwardIn a random sample of 1500 BA major students who are graduating from the University of Western Cape (UWC)this summer (2020), we observe that 1380 have already found a job. Question 10What proportion of students graduating from UWC this summer have NOT already found a job (rounded off to two decimals)? Question 11Calculate the standard error for students graduating from UWC this summer that have not already found a job based on the sample provided (rounded off to four decimals).Question 12Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students graduating from UWC this summer that have not found a job already (rounded off to four decimals).arrow_forwardA simple random sample of heights of 6400Englishmen has a mean of 67.85 inches and SD 2.56 inches, while a simple random sample of heights of 1600 Australians has a mean of 68.55 inches and SD of 2.52 inches.

- The 2006 Statistical Abstract of the United States reports on a survey that asked a national sample of 80,000 American households about pet ownership. Suppose (for now) that one-third of all American households own a pet cat. Still supposing that one-third of all American households own a pet cat, between what two values do you expect 95% of all sample proportions to fall?arrow_forwardIn a breeding experiment, chicken with white feathers, small comb were mated and the offspring categories white feathers, small comb (WS), white feathers. large comb (WL), dark feathers, small comb (DS) and dark feathers, large comb (DL) were expected to follow the ratio 9:3:3:1 the researcher observed that there were 100 WS, 32 WL, 40 DS and 20 DL offspring. In order to test if the observed frequencies follow the expected ratio, what should be the hull hypothesis?A. P(WS) = 100/192, P(WL) = 32/192, P(DS) = 40/192 , P(DL) = 20/192 B.
