Question
Previously, 11.2% of workers had a travel time to work of more than 60 minutes. An urban economist believes that the percentage has increased since then. She randomly selects 85 workers and finds that 11 of them have a travel time to work that is more than 60 minutes . Test the economist's belief at the a= 0.1 level of significance What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
what are the null and alternative hypotheses?
Because np0(1-p0)= < ? 10,
Find the P-value.

- Would you favor spending more federal tax money on the arts? Of a random sample of n1 = 232 women, r1 = 66 responded yes. Another random sample of n2 = 198 men showed that r2 = 65 responded yes. Does this information indicate a difference (either way) between the population proportion of women and the population proportion of men who favor spending more federal tax dollars on the arts? Use ? = 0.05. State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 ≠ p2H0: p1 < p2; H1: p1 = p2 H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 > p2H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 < p2 (b) What sampling distribution will you use?

Specifically, Prof.Johnson has H0:p=0.3 versus HA:p≠0.3. He obtains a P-value of 0.01. On the other hand, Prof. Smith would like to test if there is sufficient evidence to support that p is greater than 0.3 at the 10% significance level. Based on Prof. Johnson's result, will the null hypothesis of Prof. Smith's test be rejected? A. There is insufficient information to tell.B. Yes.C. No.arrow_forwardPreviously, 10.4% of workers had a travel time to work of more than 60 minutes. An urban economist believes that the percentage has increased since then.

The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly larger than 74% at a = 0.01, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of voters who prefer the Democratic candidate is larger than 74%.

Which are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this study? H0: p = 22%, HA: p < 22% H0: p ≠ 0, HA: p = 0 H0: p = 22%, HA: p > 22% H0: p = 22%, HA: p ≠ 22% Suppose that the result is to Fail to reject H0.Which is the proper conclusion? There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the students at his local schools have a smaller proportion of obese students. There is not enough information to answer this question. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the students at his local schools have a smaller proportion of obese students.arrow_forwardIndicate whether CPAs in states that have flat state income tax rates work fewer hours per week during tax season compared to the US average. You will want to formally set up H0 and Ha, report either the test statistic (z-value) or p-value, and explain why you either reject or fail to reject your null hypothesis.arrow_forward
- In a survey of 1120 new college graduates 281 had a professional job on graduation day. One year ago the proportion of graduates with a professional job on graduation day was .24 or 24%. The setup of the null and alternative hypotheses to test whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of graduates with a professional job is higher now than it was one year ago is: (a) Ho :p= .24 vs. H1 : p .24 (d) Ho : p = .25 vs. H1 : p .24 The value of the test statistic is: (а) 2.109 (b) .011 (c) .841 (d) 28.141 (е) .854arrow_forward8)arrow_forwardConsumers Energy states that the average electric bill across the state is $67.16. You want to test the claim that the average bill amount is greater than $67.16. The hypotheses for this situation are Null Hypothesis: u = 67.16, Alternative Hypothesis: u > 67.16. If the true statewide average bill is $51.28 and the null hypothesis is not rejected, did a type I, type II, or no error occur? a No error has occurred. b Type I Error has occurred. c Type II Error has occurred. d We do not know the p-value, so we cannot determine if an error has occurred.arrow_forward
