A poll of 200 Califorinans found that 83% were in favor of a mandatory 21-day quarantine for anyone who has come into contact with an Ebola patient. Use the z-test with a level of significance =.015 to test the claim that more than 75% of Califorinans are in favor of the mandatory 21-day quarantine period.

According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.38. Suppose a random sample of 105 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 51 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the a = 0.01 level of significance? Because npo (1 - Po 10, the sample size is 5% of the population size, and the sample the requirements for testing the hypothesis satisfied. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) can be reasonably assumed to be random, What are the null and alternative hypotheses? is given to be random, cannot be reasonably assumed to be random, Ho: versus H,: (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) is given to not be random, Find the test statistic, zo. Z0 = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Find the P-value.…

A random sample of n1 = 299 voters registered in the state of California showed that 140 voted in the last general election. A random sample of n2 = 220registered voters in the state of Colorado showed that 130 voted in the most recent general election. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of voter turnout in Colorado is higher than that in California? Use a 10% level of significance. What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p1 − p2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

US Universities found that 72% of people are concerned about the possibility that their personal records could be stolen over the internet. If a random sample of 300 college students at a Midwestern university were taken and 228 of them were concerned about the possibility that their personal records could be stolen over the Internet, could you conclude at the 0.025 level of significance that a higher proportion of the university’s college students are concerned about Internet theft than the public at large? Report the p-value for this test. Z0.025 = 1.96

Fifteen years ago, a complete survey of all undergraduate students at a large University indicated that the average student smoked 7.7 cigarettes per day.  Th director of the student health center wishes to determine whether the incidence of cigarette smoking at his University has lessened over the fifteen year period. He obtains the following results (in cigarettes smoked per day) from a random sample of 9 students. 6.1, 9.2, 5, 6.3, 4.8, 3.2, 7.6, 8.1, 9. Test the null hypothesis at the .05 level significane.

In a recent year, 73% of first-year college students responding to a national survey identified “being very well-off financially” as an important personal goal. A state university finds that 132 of an SRS of 200 of its first-year students say that this goal is important. Is there good evidence that the proportion of all first-year students at this university who think being very well-off is important differs from the national value, 73%? Carry out a significance test to help answer this question. Construct and Interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all first-year students at the university who would identify being well-off as an important personal goal. What additional information does the confidence interval provide?

According to a​ publication, 12.9​% of 18 to 25-year-olds were users of marijuana in 2000. A recent poll of 1378 randomly selected 18 to 25-year-olds revealed that 215 currently use marijuana. At the 2​% significance​ level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of 18 to 25-year-olds who currently use marijuana has changed from the 2000 percentage of 12.9​%? Use the​ one-proportion z-test to perform the appropriate hypothesis​ test, after checking the conditions for the procedure.
