Question
In a random sample of 108 employees, 25 men earned less than $20 per hour, 25 earned between $20 and $30, and 8 earned more than $30 per hour. In the same study, 29 women earned less than $20 per hour, 15 earned between $20 and $30, and 6 earned more than $30 per hour. Test the hypotheses, at the 10% level of significance, that men and women earn the same. State your conclusion as a sentence including the test statistic and the critical value.

- A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 318 people over the age of 55, 77 dream in black and white, and among 298 people under the age of 25, 16 dream in black and white. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25.

Ho: P1 =P2 H1: P1 #P2 Identify the test statistic. z= 6.52 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Identify the P-value. P-value = 0.000 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis test? The P-value is less than the significance level of a = 0.05, so reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion…arrow_forwardIn a survey of working parents (both parents working), one of the questions asked was "Have you refused a job, promotion, or transfer because it would mean less time with your family?" 410410 men and 410410 women were asked this question. 26%26% of the men and 19%19% of the women responded "Yes". Based on this survey, can it be concluded that there is a difference in the proportion of men ( p1p1 ) and women ( p2p2 ) responding "Yes"? Use a significance level of α=0.05α=0.05 for the test. Step 3 of 5 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forwardOn a normal weekend, 14% of those attending Mass at a local Catholic church donate over $200 per week, 26% donate between $100 and $200 per week, and the remaining donate less than $100 per week. At Christmas time, a survey of 226 people attending Masses finds that 28% donate over $200, 49% donate between $100 and $200, and the remaining donate less than $100. When testing (at the 10% level of significance) whether the proportions are different at Christmas time than during other weekends, what is the test statistic (please round your answer to 3 decimal places)arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardOver the past few decades, public health officials have examined the link between weight concerns and teen girls' smoking. Researchers surveyed a group of 273 randomly selected teen girls living in Massachusetts (between 12 and 15 years old). After four years the girls were surveyed again. Sixty-three said they smoked to stay thin. Is there good evidence that more than thirty percent of the teen girls smoke to stay thin?

Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

- The National Study of the Changing Work Force conducted a study of 2958 wage and salaried workers on issuesranging from relationships with their bosses to household chores. The data were gathered through hour-longtelephone interview with a nationally representive sample. In response to the questions “What does your job meanto you?” 1538 people responded that they “Receive personal satisfaction from success at work.” Let p be thepopulation proportion of people who receive personal satisfaction from success at work. (a) Find a 95% CI for the true value of p. (b) How large of sample is needed if we wish to be 99% confident that the sample proportion of p is within1% of the true population proportion.arrow_forwardPrevious research showed that 15% percent of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 smoke. A study was conducted to examine the current proportion of US teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 who smoke. A survey asked a random sample of 785 teenagers between the ages of 13 to 17 if they smoke. 71 of the surveyed teenagers responded that they smoke. The information above is for the question below.arrow_forward55% of home owners who received Notice of Violations letters from their HOA experienced anxiousness, 76% of home owners who received such letters experienced outrage, only 2% experienced neither of the two aforementioned effects.

- In a study examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) foundthat a man’s sense of humor had a significant effect onhow he was perceived by women. In the study, femalecollege students were given brief descriptions of a potential romantic partner and then rated the attractivenessof the male on a scale from 1 (low) to 7 (high). Thefictitious male was described positively as being single,ambitious, and having good job prospects. In one condition, the description also said that he had a great senseof humor. The results showed that the description wasrated significantly higher when “a sense of humor” wasincluded. To further examine this effect, a researcherselected a sample of n = 16 college males and askedthem to read a brief description of a female and thenrate the attractiveness of the woman in the description.The description had been used in previous research butwas modified by adding a statement describing a goodsense of humor.

After making some recent changes, the marriage counselor now claims that her program can prevent divorce in more than 75% of married couples. In a random sample of 245 married couples who completed her program, 185 of them stayed together. Based on this sample, is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor's claim at the 0.01 level of significance? (a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁.
