A poll showed the approval rating to be 0.45 (45%). A second poll based on 2000 randomly selected voters showed that 886 approved of the job the president was doing . Do the results of the second poll indicate that the proportion of voters who approve of the job the president is doing is significantly lower than the original level? Explain . Assume the x = 0.05 level of significance .

- Please help with the ast part of the problem. Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the critical value, and state the conclusion. A company claims that its packages of 100 candies are distributed with the following color percentages: 11% red, 22% orange, 12% yellow, 15% brown, 24% blue, and 16% green. Use the given sample data to test the claim that the color distribution is as claimed. Use a 0.025 significance level. Candy Counts Color Number in Package Red 13 Orange 26 Yellow 9 Brown 7 Blue 27 Green 18 The test statistic is 6.73 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The critical value is 12.833 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Please help with this part of the problem; State the conclusion. Reject or fail to reject H0.

A test prep company believe their students will have different scores. To test this hypothesis, they sample 1000 students and find a sample mean of 856 points. They perform the hypothesis test at a confidence level of 95%. a. State the null and alternative hypothesis mathematicallyb. What is the significance level? c.

- use a hypothesis test to determine if the proportions are statistically different. A recent survey showed that in a sample of 100 elementary school teachers, 15 were single. In a sample of 180high school teachers, 36 were single. Is the proportion of high school teachers who were single greater than theproportion of elementary teachers who were single? Use ΅ = 0.01.arrow_forwardPlease answer as soon as possiblearrow_forwardIf the level of significance in a hypothesis test is 1 %, what would the p-value have to be for failing to reject the null hypothesis? a. equal to 0.005 b. less than .01 c. greater than .01arrow_forward
- The company that you work for requires that less than 3% (.03) of the microchips that you deliver are defective. If the percentage is not below 3%, you cannot ship the microchips. You collect a simple random sample of 430 microchips and find that 12 of them are defective. Conduct a hypothesis test with a a =.05 level of significance to determine if less than 3% of the microchips are defective. Write all non-calculation answers in complete sentences. a. Which test would you use and why? b. Write the null and alternative hypothesis in complete sentences. (Make sure you mark which is the null and which is the alternative.) c. Write the null and alternative hypothesis as symbols. d. State the requirements that have been met to run the test. e. What is the test statistic and the p-value? (Make sure you use the right notation.) f. Should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? g. State the conclusion for the test.arrow_forwardA group of transfer bound students wondered if they will spend the same mean amount on texts and supplies each year at their four-year university as they have at their community college. They conducted a random survey of 54 students at their community college and 66 students at their local four-year university. The sample means were $947 and $1,011, respectively. The population standard deviations are known to be $254 and $87, respectively. You are to conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the means are statistically the same using 5% as alpha What is the computed test statistic?arrow_forwardThe national percentage of automobile accident fatalities that are alcohol related is 39%. In a random sample of 96 automobile accident fatalities in the state of New York, 44 were alcohol related. Is this sufficient evidence to say that new York has a higher percentage of alcohol related automobile fatalities? a. Perform the appropriate test of hypothesis and paste the session window output below. b. What is the value of the test statistic? c. At a = .10, what is your decision?arrow_forward
