The General Social Survey is an annual survey given to about 1500 U.S. adults selected at random. A recent survey contained the question "How important to your life is having a fulfilling job?" Of the 265 college graduates surveyed, 99 chose the response "Very important." Of the 118 people surveyed whose highest level of education was high school or less, 42 chose the response "Very important." Based on these data, can we conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that there is a difference between the proportion p₁ of all U.S. college graduates who would answer "Very important" and the proportion p of all U.S. adults whose highest level of education was high school or less who would answer "Very important"? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the parts below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative…

Living with parents: The Pew Research Center reported that 36% of American Millennials (adults ages 18–31) still live at home with their parents. A group of students wants to conduct a study to determine whether this result is true for students at their campus. They survey 300 randomly selected students at their campus and determine that 43% of them live at home with their parents. With this data, they test the following hypotheses at the 5% significance level. The P-value is 0.006. H0: Of Millennial students at their campus, 36% live at home with their parents. Ha: More than 36% of Millennial students at their campus live at home with their parents. What assumption about the sample underlies the hypothesis test?  The sample comes from a population of Millennial students at their campus where 36% still live at home with their parents.  The sample comes from a population of Millennial students at their campus where 43% still live at home with their parents.  The sample comes from a…
