Question
In 1995, it was determined that 78% of US citizens supported a ban on household aerosols. Thinking that this proportion may have changed over the past few decades, a sample will be taken to test if a change has occurred.
In a SRS of 500 citizens taken this year, 350 supported the ban. Determine the pvalue associated with the test.
find null and alternate hypothesis.

Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cadmium at high concentrations. Some governments have a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.56 part per million (ppm). A research team measured the cadmium levels in a random sample of edible mushrooms, where the hypothesis test is to decide whether the mean cadmium level in the sample is greater than the governments' safety limit. The null and alternative hypotheses are H0: μ=0.56 ppm, Ha: μ>0.56 ppm. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. d. Now suppose that the results of carrying out the hypothesis test lead to nonrejection of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion by error type or as a correct decision if in fact the mean cadmium level in that type of mushrooms equals the safety limit of 0.56 ppm. Choose the correct answer below. A. type I error B. correct decision because a true null hypothesis is not rejected C. correct decision because…arrow_forward
