Question
A new study shows that 35% of adults have never been married. To test if that is a true claim, we randomly sampled 250 adults is collected and 97 of them have never been married.
Test if the true population proportion of adults that have never been married is 35% or not. Use a 5% level of significance.
What type of hypothesis test is this (Proportion, Z Test, or T Test)?
What is the test statistic and critical value(s) for this test? Round answers to 2 decimal places.

- A union of restaurant and foodservice workers would like to estimate this year's mean hourly wage, u, of foodservice workers in the U.S. Last year's mean hourly wage was $8.08, and there is reason to believe that this year's value is different from last year's. The union decides to do a statistical test to see if the value has indeed changed. The union chooses a random sample of this year's wages, computes the mean of the sample to be $8.48, and computes the standard deviation of the sample to be $1.25. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? H: u is [? |H: u is ? ? In the context of this test, what is a Type II error? A Type II error is ? v the hypothesis that u is ? when, in fact, u is ? Suppose that the union decides to reject the null hypothesis.
