Of the 1100 adults​ surveyed, 429 indicated that they were total abstainers. In a recent​ survey, the same question was asked of 1100 adults and 363 indicated that they were total abstainers. Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test.

College Degree Recipients A survey of 800 recent degree recipients found that 158 received associate degrees; 451, bachelor degrees, 21 first-professional degrees; 154, master degrees; and 16, doctorates. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that at least one of the proportions differs from a report which stated that 23.3% were associate degrees; 51.1%, bachelor degrees; 3%, first professional degrees; 20.6%, master degrees; and 2%, doctorates? Use =α0.10.

This question refers to a survey of a university's faculty members on affirmative action policies for the university. The survey was based on telephone interviews with a random sample of 1,001 faculty members conducted in December 1995. One of the questions asked was, "Do you favor or oppose using race, religion, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin as a criterion for admission to the university?" Of the 704 male respondents, 45% said "Favor," and of the 297 female respondents, 72% said "Favor." (a) Find the conservative margin of error (in %) for the male respondents. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) % Use the conservative margin of error to compute an approximate 95% confidence interval for the percent who favored this policy at the time of the poll in the population of male faculty members. (Round your answers to one decimal place.) (_,_)% ,   % (b) Find the conservative margin of error (in %) for the females. (Round your answer to one decimal…

1. The percentage of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported talking at least once in the past year with their parents about the dangers of drug, tobacco, or alcohol is 60% nationally. A state youth council believes this proportion is higher in their state, where there has been an intense media campaign about this issue. A survey of randomly chosen students from across the state shows 1032 of 1642 students reporting they are having these conversations with their parents. Is there evidence that the percent of students using drugs, tobacco or alcohol in this state is above the national rate?
