A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 67%. Suppose that we have reason to believe that this proportion has changed, and we wish to carry out a hypothesis test to see if our belief can be supported. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that we would use for this test.

According to MessageLabs Ltd., 80% of all email sent in July 2010 was spam. A system manager at a large corporation believes that the percentage at his company may be greater than 80%, and he wants to run a hypothesis test to see if there is evidence to support his belief. He examines a random sample of 500 emails received at an email server and finds that 420 of the messages are spam. Calculate the test statistic. Keep as many decimal places as you can when you are working with the denominator. Round the final answer to two decimal places.
A statistics professor wants to see if more than 80% of her students enjoyed her class. At the end of the term, she takes a random sample of students from her large class and asks, in an anonymous survey, if the students enjoyed taking her class.

QUESTION 1 An executive believes that no more than 80% of the company’s employees take all of their vacation days. When testing the executive's hypothesis (using a 1% level of significance), what is the null and alternative hypothesis?
A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 71%. Suppose that we have reason to believe that this proportion has changed, and we wish to carry out a hypothesis test to see if our belief can be supported. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that we would use for this test.

A recent sample of 1000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. Just a year prior, a sample of 900 adults showed 315 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. a. State the hypotheses that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years. Ho : P1 – p2- Select your answer - Ha : Pi - P2 - Select your answer - b. Conduct the hypothesis test and compute the p-value. Round your answer to four decimal places. p-value = %3D At a = 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? I. Reject Ho. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportions are not equal. The data do not suggest that there has been a change in the population proportion saying that their financial security is more than fair. II.…

According to the most recent General Social Survey, 70% of adults watch TV nightly. A researcher believes that the proportion of college students who watch TV nightly is less than this. To test this claim the research samples 400 college students and finds that 276 watch TV nightly. At the 0.05 level of significance does this data provide evidence to suggest that the proportion of college students who watch TV nightly is less than 70%? Select the correct hypothesis test for this problem:
According to the Centers of Disease Control, about 21% of American young people between the ages of 12 and 19 are obese. A student claims that the students his local schools are in better shape than the national average, so their proportion of obese students is less than 21%. Which are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this study? Họ: p = 21%, H1: p = 21% Ho: p × 0, Hq: p = 0 Họ: p = 21%, Hq: p > 21% Họ: p = 21%, H,: p < 21% Suppose tnat the result of the statistical is to fail to reject Ho. Which is the proper conclusion? O There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the students at his local schools have a smaller true proportion of obese students. O There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the students his local schools have a smaller true proportion of obese students. O There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the students at his local schools have a smaller sample proportion of obese students. O There is sufficient evidence to conclude that…
