Question
Based on information from Harper's Index, 37 out of a random sample of 100 adult Americans who did not
attend college believe in extraterrestrials. However, out of a random sample of 100 adult Americans who
did attend college, 47 claim that they believe in extraterrestrials. Does this indicate that the proportion of
people who attend college and who believe in extraterrestrials is higher than the proportion who did not
attend college?
(a) State the hypotheses in plain language.
(b) Fill in the table below, then enter this table in the left side of the Rossman-Chance applet.
No college
College
Total
Believe in ETs
84
Did not believe in ETs
116
Total
100
100
200
(c) Compute the point estimate for the difference in the proportion believing in extraterrestrials between
those not attending college and those attending college.
Pne – Pe =
(d) Complete at least 1000 simulations in the Rossman-Chance app 2 and report your findings below. (For
help with the applet, refer to the e "Using the Rossman-Chance Applet" 2 [+] handout.)
(i) What is the p-value?
less than .01 (strong evidence that the proportion who believe in extraterrestrials is different for
those who did or did not attend college)
between .01 and .05 (moderate evidence that the proportion who believe in extraterrestrials is
different for those who did or did not attend college)
O between .05 and .10 (little evidence that the proportion who believe in extraterrestrials is different
for those who did or did not attend college)
O more than .10 (no evidence that the proportion who believe in extraterrestrials is different for those
who did or did not attend college)
(ii) What is your decision about the null hypothesis?
O You should accept the null hypothesis.
O You should reject the null hypothesis.
O You should fail to reject the null hypothesis.
(iii) What is your conclusion about the alternative hypothesis?
There is strong evidence that the proportion who believe in extraterrestrials is different for those
who did or did not attend college.
O There is no evidence that the proportion who believe in extraterrestrials is different for those who
did or did not attend college.

(Hey there! Thank you for posting the question.
Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve the first three sub-parts for you.
To get the remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved.)

 

Based on information from Harper's Index, 37 out of a random sample of 100 adult American who did not attend college believe in extraterrestrials;

Let,

X1 be the number of adult American who did not attend college believe in extraterrestrials;

N1: Total number of a random sample of adult Americans.

Out of 100 adult Americans who did attend college, 47 claims that they believe in extraterrestrials.

X2 be the number of adult American who did   attend college believe in extraterrestrials;

N2: Total number of a random sample of adult Americans.

It is asked to test whether the proportion of people who attend college and who believe in extraterrestrials is higher than the proportion who did not attend college.
