According to a 2015 article, 37% of Americans aged 25 years or older have been arrested. An Orange County police officer feels that this percentage is different in Orange County. To test this, he randomly selects 120 people living in Orange County who are 25 or older and finds that 48 of them have been arrested. Test the police officer's claim at the a-0.05 level of significance.

A psychologist wanted to know if students in her class were more likely to cheat if they were low achievers. She divided her 60 students into three groups (low, middle, and high) based on their mean exam score on the previous three tests. She then asked them to rate how likely they were to cheat on an exam if the opportunity presented itself with a very limited chance for consequences. The students rated their desire to cheat on a scale ranging from 1-100, with lower numbers indicating less desire to cheat.

A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 321 people over the age of 55, 77 dream in black and white, and among 311 people under the age of 25, 13 dream in black and white. Use a 0.01 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. Ho: P1 P2 H₁: P₁ P2 OD. Ho: P1 P2 Н1:01
A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 297 people over the age of 55, 75 dream in black and white, and among 310 people under the age of 25, 19 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. Identify the test statistic. z= 6.51 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Identify the P-value. P-value = 3.770o (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis test? The P-value is greater than the significance level of a = 0.05, so fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence…

The National Football League (NFL) is conducting a survey of fan behavior by collecting a random sample of 240 NFL fans. One question asks fans if they have ever participated in a violent act in or around their favorite team's stadium. Nationally, 28% of NFL fans have participated in a violent act around their team’s stadium. The research finds that 14% of Green Bay Packers fans have committed a violent act on game day. Conduct a significance test to answer the research question: Is there a significant difference (a=.05) in the proportion of Green Bay Packers fans compared to the rest of the NFL fans that have participated in a violent act? Which of the following test requirements does NOT belong in Step One for this test? Random sample Interval ratio variable of violent acts Normal Sampling distribution What is the critical score? What is the obtained score?
