5. In the past, 44% of those taking a public accounting qualifying exam have passed the exam on their first try. Lately, the availability of exam preparation books and tutoring sessions may have improved the likelihood of an individual's passing on his or her first try. In a sample of 250 recent applicants, 130 passed on their first attempt. At the 0.025 level of significance, can we conclude that the proportion passing on the first try has increased? Construct a 95% confidence interval for a and using that interval, can you judge whether the proportion passing on the first try has increased?

Q: An online bookseller is considering selling an e-reader but will do so only if they have evidence that the proportion of customers who will likely purchase one is more than 0.4. Of a survey of 25 customers, 8 of them stated that they would likely purchase an e-reader. What should the bookseller do? Use a 5% significance level.
Historically, the proportion of students entering a university who finished in 4 years or less was 65%. To test whether this proportion has decreased, 150 students were examined and 58% had finished in 4 years or less. At the 5% level of significance, does it appear the proportion has decreased from its historical level? To determine whether the proportion of students who finish in 4 year or less has statistically significantly decreased, what is the null and alternative hypothesis?

In a survey of 500 drivers from the South, 408 wear a seat belt. In a survey of 370 drivers from the Northeast, 288 wear a seat belt. At a = 0.07, can you support the claim that the proportion of drivers who wear seat belts is greater in the South than in the Northeast? Assume the random samples are independent. Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Identify the claim and state Ho and Ha The claim is "the proportion of drivers who wear seat belts in the South is greater than in the Northeast." Let p, represent the population proportion for the South, and p2 represent the population proportion for the Northeast. State Hg and H Choose the correct answer below. O B. Ho: P1 = P2 OC. Ho: P, * P2 O A. Ho: P1 > P2 H: P, SP2 H: P, *P2 Ha: P1 = P2 O D. Ho: P1 P2 OF. Ho: P1 2 P2 H,: P, OC. z
A dietician read in a survey that 70.5% of adults in the U.S. do not eat breakfast at least 3 days a week. She believes that the proportion that skip breakfast 3 days a week is different than 0.705. To verify her claim, she selects a random sample of 71 adults and asks them how many days a week they skip breakfast.. 44 of them report that they skip breakfast at least 3 days a week. Test her claim at a = 0.10. The correct hypotheses would be: О Но:р 0.705 (claim) Но: р > 0.705 HA:p < 0.705 (claim) О Но: р — 0.705 HA:P + 0.705 (claim) Since the level of significance is 0.10 the critical value is 1.645 and -1.645 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places) The decision can be made to: O reject Ho O do not reject Ho The final conclusion is that: O There is enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion that skip breakfast 3 days a week is different than 0.705. O There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion that skip…

In a fishing lodge brochure, the lodge advertises that 75% of its guests catch northern pike over 20 pounds. Suppose that last summer 71 out of a random sample of 86 guests did, in fact, catch northern pike weighing over 20 pounds. Does this indicate that the population proportion of guests who catch pike over 20 pounds is different from 75% (either higher or lower)? Use ? = 0.05. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p = 0.75; H1: p > 0.75H0: p ≠ 0.75; H1: p = 0.75 H0: p < 0.75; H1: p = 0.75H0: p = 0.75; H1: p ≠ 0.75H0: p = 0.75; H1: p < 0.75 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5.The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5. The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5.The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find the P-value of the test…
You are interested in comparing sleep habits of elementary school children. Suppose you have agroup of eighth graders. You asked them in July to estimate about how many hours of sleep they get pernight, on average. You asked those same individuals the same question again in November, during theschool year. Which is the most appropriate test to use?
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?
