3. An article from the magazine “Infinite Pi” claims that 32% of Americans will eat apple pie on Thanksgiving. You survey 90 people, of whom 44 say they will eat apple pie. Can we say that our sample proportion of people who will eat apple pie is significantly higher than the article claims?
For question 3 above, what would be the hypotheses?
Group of answer choices
Ho: μ = 44, Ha: μ > 44
Ho: μ = 90, Ha: μ > 90
Ho: p = .32, Ha: p > .32
Ho: p = .32, Ha: p ≠ .32

Indicate clearly the methods you use, because you will be scored on the correctness of your methods as well as on the accuracy and completeness of your results and explanations. A marketing director for a beverage company conducted a study to investigate people's soda preferences in two regions of the country. The director selected a random sample of 100 people from the east coast and a random sample of 100 people from the west coast to survey. The responses are summarized in the following table. East Coast West Coast Regular soda 44 37 Diet soda 39 42 No preference 17 21 Total 100 100 Do the data provide convincing statistical evidence, at the level of a = 0.05, that the preferences are different between the two regions of the country?

- Question 3 7 pts An investigator wishes to test the hypothesis that "blondes have more fun." To investigate, he develops the Subjective Report of Fun Scale (high scores indicate more fun), selects 13 brunettes at random and administers the SRFS to them. He then bleaches all 13 subjects' hair blonde, waits two weeks, and administers the SRFS again. Data are below. Do blondes have more fun?

One study presented 200 young American men with 100 images of men with various levels of muscle. Researchers measure level of muscle in kilograms per square meter of body surface area (kg/m²). Typical young men have about 20 kg/m². Each subject chose two images, one that represented his own level of body muscle and one that he thought represented "what women prefer." The mean gap between self-image and "what women prefer" was 2.35 kg/m². Suppose that the "muscle gap" in the population of all young men has a Normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 kg/m². Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of muscle young men think they should add to be attractive to women. (They are wrong: women actually prefer a level close to that of typical men.)

- According to previous studies, 12% of the U.S. population is left-handed. Not knowing this, a high school student claims that the percentage of left-handed people in the U.S. is 14%. The student is going to take a random sample of 1650 people in the U.S. to try to gather evidence to support the claim. Let p be the proportion of left-handed people in the sample. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) ✔ (a) Find the mean of p. P. 0 (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for P (P<0.14), which is the probability that there will be 14% or fewer left-handed people in the sample. Round your answer to four decimal places.
