However, in the special program for talented and gifted children, 130 out of 373 students are only children. The school district administrators want to know if the proportion of only children in the special program Is significantly different from the proportion for the school district. Test at the a 0.05 level of significance. What is the hypothesized population proportion for this test? P=0.34 (Report answer as a decimal accurate to 2 decimal places. Do not report using the percent symbol.)

- Help, please.arrow_forwardThe average American gets a haircut every 34 days. Is the average smaller for college students? The data below shows the results of a survey of 15 college students asking them how many days elapse between haircuts. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 35, 23, 32, 38, 31, 39, 35, 25, 30, 36, 40, 27, 23, 32, 25 What can be concluded at the the a = 0.10 level of significance level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: ?v Select an answerv Hi: ?vSelect an answerv c.
