A psychologist is interested in constructing a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of people who accept the theory that a person's spirit is no more than the complicated network of neurons in the brain. 53 of the 840 randomly selected people who were surveyed agreed with this theory. a. With 95% confidence the proportion of all people who accept the theory that a person's spirit is no more than the complicated network of neurons in the brain is between and b. If many groups of 840 randomly selected people are surveyed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of all people who accept the theory that a person's spirit is no more than the complicated network of neurons in the brain and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.

A researcher is curious about whether there is a relationship between how much a person enjoys the music of Nickelback (on a 0-12 scale, 0 indicating no enjoyment and 20 indicating maximum enjoyment) and how much a person enjoys films starring Nicolas Cage (on the same 0-20 scale).

A study of the career plans of young women and men sent questionnaires to all 722 members of the senior class in the College of Business Administration at a given University. One question asked which major within the business program the student had chosen. Here are the data from the students who responded Major Accounting Administration Economics Finance Female 68 91 Male 56 40 6 59 61 Does the data suggest that there is a relationahip between the gender of students and their choice of major? At 0.05 level of significance, what is the conclusion to the test? Select the correct response: There is sufficient evidence to conclude that students find Economics very hard. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the choice of major and the gender of the student are not independent of each other. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that more females prefer Administration than males. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the choice of major and the gender of the student…
In a survey of families in which both parents work, one of the questions asked was, “Have you refused a job, promotion, or transfer because it would mean less time with your family?” A total of 200 men and 200 women were asked this question. “Yes” was the response given by 29% of the men and 24% of the women. Based on this survey, can we conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of men and women responding “yes” at the 0.05 level of significance?

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. A national standardized test consists of three parts: critical reading, mathematics, and writing. Suppose each part of the test is scored on a 200- to 800-point scale with a median of approximately 510. Scores for each part of the test can be assumed to be symmetric. Use the following data to test the hypothesis that the population median score for the students taking the writing portion of the test is 510. 635 701 439 447 464 502 405 453 471 476 447 590 337 387 514 State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Section 9.1 Question #5 A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 302 people over the age of 55, 80 dream in black and white, and among 296 people under the age of 25, 15 dream in black and white. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. Consider the first sample to be the sample of people over the age of 55 and the second sample to be the sample of people under the age of 25. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? A. H0: p1 = p2 H1: p1 < p2 B. H0: p1 = p2 H1: p1 > p2 C. H0: p1 ≤ p2 H1: p1 ≠ p2 D. H0: p1 ≠ p2 H1: p1 = p2 E. H0: p1 ≥ p2 H1: p1 ≠ p2 F. H0: p1 = p2 H1: p1 ≠ p2 Identify the test statistic. z= ___________ (Round to…
24) Some research has shown that swearing can help reduce ratings of pain (Stephens, Atkins, & Kingston, 2009). In one such study, each participant was asked to plunge a hand into icy water and keep it there as long as the pain would allow. In one condition, the participants repeated their favorite curse words while their hands were in the water. In the other condition, the participants repeated a neutral word. In addition to lowering the participants’ perception of pain, swearing also increased the amount of time they were able to tolerate the pain. Data similar to the results obtained in their study are shown in the following table. Amount of Time (in Seconds) Participant Swear Words Neutral Words 1 94 59 2 70 61 3 52 47 4 83 60 5 46 35 6 117 92 7 69 53 8 39 30 9 51 56 10 73 61 Do these data indicate a significant difference in pain tolerance between the two conditions?…
