USA Today ran a report about a UNC poll of 1248 adults from the southern U.S. It was reported that 8% of those surveyed believe that Elvis Presley still lives. The article began with the claim that "almost 1 out of 10" Southerners still thinks Elvis is alive. At the 0.01 significance level, test the claim that the true percentage is 10%.
A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.
Consider the relationship between p-values and significance levels. a. Explain why a value of z-statistic that is significant at the 1% level in a one-sided test is always significant at the 5% level. b. Explain why the reverse is not true. If something is significant at the 5% level in a one-sided test it is not necessarily significant at the 1% level.
