- Classify the hypothesis test as two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed. At one school, the average amount of time that tenth-graders spend watching television each week is 21.7 hours. The principal introduces a campaign to encourage the students to watch less television. One year later, the principal wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average amount of time spent watching television per week has decreased from the previous mean of 21.7 hours.

When asked if doctors should be able to end a terminally ill patient's life by painless means if requested to do so by the patient, 707 of those surveyed responded yes. For purposes of this exercise, assume that it is reasonable to regard this sample as a random sample of adult Americans. Suppose that you want to use the data from this survey to decide if there is convincing evidence that more than two-thirds of adult Americans believe that doctors should be able to end a terminally ill patient's life if requested to do so by the patient.

Alabama (1965) a lawsuit that argued that there was discrimination against African-Americans in grand jury selection. This case used a statistical argument based on the data that 181 African-Americans out of a random sample of 1075 were called to appear for possible duty. Using the information that Census data show that 24% of those eligible for jury service were African-America conduct the hypothesis test to test the claim of discrimination. Use a significance level of 0.025. State the null and alternative hypothesis Compute the test statistic and the p-value. Write your conclusion as if you are the expert witness in this case and explain what this p-value means to a jury.

Of the 106 people surveyed whose highest level of education was high school or less, 32 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 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.
