Question
Smith Fishing Lodge is located on Lake Arno in northern Canada. In one of its recent
brochures, the lodge advertises that 78% of its guests catch northern pike over 20 pounds.
There was a sample of 83 guests and 61 of these guests caught northern pike over 20
pounds. Does this indicate that the population proportion of guests who catch northern
pike over 20 pounds is less than 78%? Use α = 0.01.
a. State the null hypothesis____________
State the alternative hypothesis. ______________
b. Find the test statistic. ______
c. Find the P-value for the test. ____________

- The U.S. Energy Information Administration claimed that U.S. residential customers used an average of 10,476 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity this year. A local power company believes that residents in their area use more electricity on average than EIA's reported average. To test their claim, the company chooses a random sample of 153 of their customers and calculates that these customers used an average of 10,767 kWh of electricity last year. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 2478 kWh, is there sufficient evidence to support the power company's claim at the 0.05 level of significance?

In fact, the company advertises that a technician will arrive within 45 minutes after a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not accurate, claiming that it takes over 45 minutes for the cable technician to arrive. The customer asks a simple random sample of 25 other cable customers how long it has taken for the cable technician to arrive when they have called for one. The sample mean for this group is 47.9 minutes with a standard deviation of 7.6 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test the customer's claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Ho : μ = 45 Ha:μ 45arrow_forward
