Question
According to a recent report,
46%
of college student internships are unpaid. A recent survey of
60
college interns at a local university found that
30
had unpaid internships.a. Use the five-step p-value approach to hypothesis testing and a
0.10
level of significance to determine whether the proportion of college interns that had unpaid internships is different from
0.46.
b. Assume that the study found that
38
of the
60
college interns had unpaid internships and repeat (a). Are the conclusions the same?Question content area bottom

- According to the Center for Disease Control website, in 2011 at least 18% of high school students have smoked a cigarette. An Introduction to Statistics class in a town conducted a hypothesis test at the local high school (a medium sized—approximately 1,200 students—small city demographic) to determine if the local high school's percentage was lower. One hundred fifty students were chosen at random and surveyed. Of the 150 students surveyed, 85 have smoked. Use a significance level of 0.05 and using appropriate statistical evidence, conduct a hypothesis test and state the conclusions.Note: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) State the p-value.

A college needs to know how many left-handed desks to place in the big lecture halls being constructed on its campus. In a random sample of 120 students of its 12124 students, 15 were left-handed. Does this provide enough evidence to show that students at this college have a higher percentage of left-handers than the general American population? Use a 10% level of significance.arrow_forward
- Portland State University (PSU) reported that 64% of their students receive financial aid. A PSU administrator feels that their school may have a different proportion compared to all of Oregon schools. A random sample of 409 students in Oregon found that 259 receive financial aid.

- Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?arrow_forwardThe percentage of complete passes is an important measure for a quarterback in the NFL.
