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…

In a poll conducted by The New York Times and CBS News, 44% of Americans approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing (The New York Times, June 8, 2012). Assume that this percentage was true for the population of Americans at the time of this poll was conducted. A recent poll of 1339 Americans showed that 38% of them approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing. At a 10% significance level, can you conclude that the current proportion of Americans who approve of the job that the Supreme Court is doing is different from 44%?
How many subjects in the "patch only" group would you expect not to quit
Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
When performing a hypothesis test, what effect does increasing the sample size have on the probability of type I error?
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 267 college graduates surveyed, 106 chose the response "Very important." Of the 113 people surveyed whose highest level of education was high school or less, 59 chose the response "Very important." Based on these data, can we conclude, at the 0.05 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 p2 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.
