Question
A rescue claims that 30% of u.s. households have a dog. In a random sample of 210 u.s. households, 35% say they own a dog. Is there enough evidence to show the percentage has increased? Identify the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis.
A) H0: p=0.35 vs Ha:p<0.35
B) H0: p=0.30 vs Ha:p>0.30
C) H0: p=0.30 vs Ha: p<0.30
D) H0: p=0.35 vs Ha:p>0.35

Assume that those four outcomes are equally likely. Construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of girls from two births. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in two births? Does the result suggest that a sample proportion an unbiased estimator of a population proportion? For the entire population, assume the probability of having a boy is the probability of having a girl is , and this is not affected by how many boys or girls have previously been born. 2 Determine the probabilities of each sample proportion.
