Assume that there is an election between two candidates A and B. Suppose that in an election day, it is reliably estimated that candidate A is favored by fraction fA of the registered voters, and candidate B is favored by the remaining fraction 1 - fA. But it is well known that not all voters show up to the polls on election day. Suppose that historical voting patterns shows that fraction QA of A’s supporters will actually vote, as will the fraction QB of B’s supporters. For what particular values of fA; QA and QB will the candidate A win the election?

A researcher is interested in understanding if there is a difference in the proportion of undergrad and grad students at UCI who prefer online teaching to in person teaching, at the a = 0.05 level. They take 2 samples, first, a sample of 300 undergrad students. The second, is a sample of 172 grad students. Of the undergrads, 186 said they preferred online lectures, and of the graduate students, 104 said that they prefer online lectures. Let p₁ = the proportion of undergrad students who prefer online class and p2 = the proportion of grad students who prefer online lectures. (a) Set up the null and alternative hypothesis (using mathematical notation/numbers AND interpret them in context of the problem). (b) Calculate the test statistic. (c) Calculate the critical value. (d) Draw a picture of the distribution of the test statistic under Ho. Label and provide values for the critical value and the test statistic, and shade the critical region.

Suppose in a small town there are three places to eat, a Chinese restaurant, a Mexican restaurant, and a pizza place. Everyone in town eats dinner in one of these places or has dinner at home. Assume that 20% of those who eat in the Chinese restaurant go to Mexican next time, 20% eat home and 30% go to the pizza place. From those who eat in the Mexican restaurant, 10% go to the pizza place, 25% go to the Chinese restaurant, and 25% eats at home next time. From those who eat at the pizza place, 30% eat at home, 30% eat at the Chinese restaurant, and 10% eat at the Mexican restaurant next time. Those who eat at home, 20% go to the Chinese restaurant, 25% go to Mexican restaurant, and 30% to the pizza place. FIND THE STEADY STATE PROBABILITIES

In a random sample of 1500 voters from the state of New York, 670 identified themselves as Democrats, 580 identified themselves as Republicans, and 250 identified themselves as Independents. Of the Democrats, 495 stated that they disapprove of the current president. The similar numbers for the Republicans and the Independents are 265 and 145, respectively. Let p1 be the proportion of all Democrat and Independent voters in New York who disapprove of the current president, and define p2 similarly for the Republicans. The endpoints of a 95% confidence interval for p1-p2 are closest to which of the following? a. 0.188 to 0.289 b. 0.197 to 0.281 c. 0.235 to 0.329 d. 0.050 to 0.196
The lottery commissioner's office in a state wanted to find if the percentages of men and women who play the lottery often are different. A sample of 490 men taken by the commissioner's office showed that 150 of them play the lottery often. Another sample of 315 women showed that 69 of them play the lottery often. Let p, be the proportion of men who play the lottery often, and p2 be the proportion of women who play the lottery often. a. What is the point estimate of the difference between the two population proportions? Round your answer to two decimal places. Point estimate of p, – P2 = b.

A teacher has two large containers filled with blue, red, and green beads, and claims the proportion of red beads are the same in each container. The students believe the proportions are different. Each student shakes the first container, selects 50 beads, counts the number of red beads, and returns the beads to the container. The student repeats this process for the second container. One student’s samples contain 13 red beads from the first container and 16 red beads from the second container. Let p1= the true proportion of red beads in container 1 and p2= the true proportion of red beads in container 2. The P-value for this significance test is 0.171. Which of the following is the correct conclusion for this test of the hypotheses level? The student should reject the null hypothesis since 0.171 > 0.05. There is insufficient evidence that the true proportion of red beads is significantly different between the two containers. The student should fail to reject the null hypothesis…
