Question
Fishing: Northern Pike Athabasca Fishing Lodge is located on Lake Athabasca in northern Canada. In one of its recent brochures, the lodge advertises that 75% of its guests catch northern pike over 20 pounds. Suppose that last summer 64 out of a random sample of 83 guests did, in fact, catch northern pike weighing over 20 pounds. Does this indicate that the population proportion of guests who catch pike over 20 pounds is different from 75% (either higher or lower)? Use a = 0.05.
(c) Find the P-value of the test statistic. Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.

- The student body at many community colleges is considered a "commuter population". The following question was asked of the Student Affairs Office at one such college: "How far (one way) does the average community college student commute to college daily?" The office answered: "20.0 miles or less." The inquirer was not convinced of the truth of this and decided to test the statement. She took a random sample of 55 students and found a mean commuting distance of 21.5 miles. Test the statement made by the Students affairs Office at a significance level of 0.01. Assume that the population standard deviation is known to be 5.1 miles. Use the P-Value Method of Testing.In your work space below, you will need to have -1. The null hypothesis, Ho 2.
