- A study in 2001, asked 792 college-age kids if they are attending a college and whether at least one of their parents had a college degree. Out of 445 college students, 214 stated that their parents did not have a college degree, and out of 347 teens not enrolled in a college, 298 indicated that their parents did not have a college degree. We would like to determine if the proportion of parents with no college-degree for teens who are not enrolled in a college is the same as that for teens who are enrolled in a college. 20.State the null and alternative hypothesis for this investigation in complete sentences and as mathematical equations. 21.

In 2005, 65% of the respondents gave medical doctors a rating of “very high or high,” compared to a 67% rating for pharmacists. The results are based on a simple random sample of 1,000 persons taken in 2005; each respondent rated clergy, medical doctors, pharmacists, and many other professions. Would it be appropriate to use these values to carry out a two-sample z test to evaluate whether difference between doctors and pharmacists is real?
