Just need the answer for part C. Part A and B are provided for context.
The report "Digital Democracy Survey"† describes a large national survey. In a representative sample of Americans ages 14 to 18 years, 45% indicated that they usually use social media while watching TV. Suppose that the sample size was 600.
(a) Is there convincing evidence that less than half of Americans ages 14 to 18 years usually use social media while watching TV? Use a significance level of 0.05.
The appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: p = 0.5 versus Ha: p < 0.5
The test statistic and P-value.
z = -2.46 P-value = 0.0067
The conclusion in the problem context.
Reject H0. We have convincing evidence that less than half of Americans ages 14 to 18 years usually use social media while watching TV.
(b) Suppose that the sample size had been 100 rather than 600 and that 45% of those in the sample indicated that they usually use social media while watching TV. Based on this sample of 100, is there convincing evidence that less than half of Americans ages 14 to 18 years usually use social media while watching TV? Use a significance level of 0.05.
The appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: p = 0.5 versus Ha: p < 0.5
The test statistic and P-value.
z = -1.006 P-value = 0.1562
The conclusion in the problem context.
Fail to reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that less than half of Americans ages 14 to 18 years usually use social media while watching TV.
(c) Explain why different conclusions were reached in the hypothesis tests of parts (a) and (b).
Getting blank out of 600 people responding this way as opposed to blank out of 100 provides much stronger evidence that fewer than half of Americans ages 14 to 18 years usually use social media while watching TV.

- Suppose that you wanted to buy a new Honda Civic and you want to wait until you can get a good deal. You want to see if the usual/average price of a Honda Civic is below the blue book value of $21,550. You are unsure that the prices of the current listings around you are lower than the blue book value of a Honda Civic so you randomly sample 49 listings from the area and find their sample mean selling price is $20,015 and their sample standard deviation is $1750.arrow_forwardDetermine if the survey question is biased. If the question is biased, suggest a better wording. How often do you eat vegetables during an average month? Is the question biased? OA. Yes, because it does not lead the respondent to any particular answer. A better question would be "Why is eating vegetables good for you?" OB. Yes, because it influences the respondent into thinking that eating vegetables is good for you. A better question would be "Do you think that eating vegetables is good for you?" OC. No, because it influences the respondent into thinking that eating vegetables is good for you. OD. No, because it does not lead the respondent to any particular answer.arrow_forward4 Ms. Lisa Monnin is the budget director for Nexus Media Inc.
