An exterminator claims that no more than 10% of the homes he treats have termite problems within 1 year after treatment. In a sample of 100 homes, local officials find that 14% had termites less than 1 year after being treated. At the 0.05 level of significance, what is the value of the test statistic?

Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.

study is designed to investigate whether there is a difference in response to various treatments in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The outcome is patient's self-reported effect of treatment.
