Researchers claimed that women exercise at the same proportion as men do. To test this claim, a random sample is gathered. Of the 65 women sampled, 42 of them exercised. Of the 75 men sampled, 44 of them exercised. Test the claim with 0.01 level of significance.

The U.S. Department of Energy reported that 51.7% of homes were heated by natural gas. A random sample of 221 homes in Kentucky found that 115 were heated by natural gas. Does the evidence support the claim for Kentucky at the a = 0.05 level? Are the results applicable across the country? Why?
In a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a sample of 546 boys aged 6–11 was weighed, and it was determined that 89 of them were overweight. A sample of 508 girls aged 6–11 was also weighed, and 74 of them were overweight. Can you conclude that the proportion of boys who are overweight differs from the proportion of girls who are overweight? Find the P-value and state a conclusion. Round the answer to four decimal places.
According to a survey conducted by the Association for Dressings and Sauces, 20% of American adults eat salad once a week. A nutritionist suspects that this percentage is not accurate. She conducts a survey of 579 American adults and finds that 104 of them eat salad once a week. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of American adults who eat salad once a week is equal to 20%. Claim: p = 0.2 v which corresponds to H0: p = 0.2 Opposite: p 0.2 v which corresponds to H1 p + 0.2 The test is: right-tailed The test statistic is: z= (to 2 decimals) The Critical Value is: z= Based on this we: Fail to reject the null hypothesis v Conclusion: There does not proportion of American adults who eat salad once a week is equal to 20%. v appear to be enough evidence to support the claim that the Submit Question thing 近
In a science fair project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 330 trials, the touch therapists were correct 155 times. Using Emily's sample results, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of correct responses made by touch therapists.
Sleep apnea is a disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep.

A random sample of 100 inmates at a maximum-security prison shows that exactly 10 of the respondents had been the victims of violent crime during their incarceration. Estimate the proportion of victims for the population as a whole assuming a 10% tolerance for error and interpret the result. Prison guards have suggested that 20% of inmates are victims of violent crime. Is the evidence consistent or inconsistent with this suggestion. Briefly explain.

A study was performed to determine the percentage of people who wear life vests while out on the water. A researcher believed that the percentage was different for those who rode jet skis compared to those who were in boats. Out of 500500 randomly selected people who rode a jet ski, 85%85% wore life vests. Out of 250250 randomly selected boaters, 90.4%90.4% wore life vests. Using a 0.050.05 level of significance, test the claim that the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding a jet ski is not the same as the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding in a boat. Let jet skiers be Population 1 and let boaters be Population 2. Step 1 of 3 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below.
