Question
A random sample of 120 people who shop for groceries exclusively at Harris Teeter found that 25% primarily use online ordering for their family's groceries. A random sample of 150 people who shop for groceries exclusively at Giant found that 36% primarily use online ordering for their family's groceries. Is this evidence that there is a difference between the two stores for the proportion of people who shop online for groceries? Use a significance level of alpha=0.05 for your inference procedure.

- A Michigan study concerning preference for outdoor activities used a questionnaire with a six-point Likert-type response in which 1 designated "not important" and 6 designated "extremely important." A random sample of n1 = 44 adults were asked about fishing as an outdoor activity. The mean response was x1 = 4.9. Another random sample of n2 = 49 adults were asked about camping as an outdoor activity. For this group, the mean response was x2 = 4.1. From previous studies, it is known that ?1 = 1.5 and ?2 = 2.0. Does this indicate a difference (either way) regarding preference for camping versus preference for fishing as an outdoor activity? Use a 5% level of significance. Note: A Likert scale usually has to do with approval of or agreement with a statement in a questionnaire. For example, respondents are asked to indicate whether they "strongly agree," "agree," "disagree," or "strongly disagree" with the statement.arrow_forwardAn automotive company is conducting a survey concerning consumer buying preferences of a particular truck. The company wants to know whether the truck appearance, miles per gallon (MPG), or fixed price most influenced the consumer’s buying decision. A population sample of 500 individuals, both male and female, will be surveyed. State the null and alternative hypothesis if your were to test whether there is any difference in proportion using the three different criterion to purchase the given car based on gender.arrow_forwardOn a normal weekend, 14% of those attending Mass at a local Catholic church donate over $200 per week, 26% donate between $100 and $200 per week, and the remaining donate less than $100 per week. At Christmas time, a survey of 226 people attending Masses finds that 28% donate over $200, 49% donate between $100 and $200, and the remaining donate less than $100. When testing (at the 10% level of significance) whether the proportions are different at Christmas time than during other weekends, what is the test statistic (please round your answer to 3 decimal places)arrow_forward

Specifically, Prof.Johnson has H0:p=0.3 versus HA:p≠0.3. He obtains a P-value of 0.01. On the other hand, Prof. Smith would like to test if there is sufficient evidence to support that p is greater than 0.3 at the 10% significance level. Based on Prof. Johnson's result, will the null hypothesis of Prof. Smith's test be rejected? A. There is insufficient information to tell.B. Yes.C. No.arrow_forward

- A health insurance company wants to determine if more than 25% of US residents have been to a hospital emergency room within the past year. It was found that in a sample of 1000 people, 28% indicated that they had been to an emergency room within the past year. With a significance level of 0.01, is there evidence to suggest that the proportion of US residents that have been to the emergency room in the past year is actually higher than 25%?arrow_forwardThe drug Ritalin is designed to stimulate the central nervous system. In a random sample of 252 boys aged ten – twelve years old, it was found that 44 of the boys were taking Ritalin. It is known that the proportion of all boys aged 13 – 15 who take Ritalin is 24%. A researcher claims that the population proportions of boys who take Ritalin aged 10 – 12 is different than boys aged 13 – 15. Can you support this claim at the 5% significance level? a. Conduct a hypothesis test to test the claim at the 5% significance level. Be sure to state you Ho and Ha, your test statistic and p-value, whether or not you reject Ho and whether you support the claim. b. Show that you can use the large sample methodology. c.
