The graduation rate from high school in a certain county is 76%. A school in that county wants to know if its graduation rate is significantly lower than the county rate. They take a random sample of 300 of the seniors who graduated last year, and find that 223 out of those 300 graduated. What set of hypotheses should be tested in this case?

In 1948, an organization surveyed 1100 adults and asked, "Are you a total abstainer from, or do you on occasion consume, alcoholic beverages?" Of the 1100 adults surveyed, 429 indicated that they were total abstainers. In a recent survey, the same question was asked of 1100 adults and 363 indicated that they were total abstainers.

A local school board wants to determine if the proportion of households in the district that would support starting the school year a week earlier has changed from the previous year. Last year, the school board determined that 65% of households supported starting school earlier. They ask a random sample of 100 households this year, and 75% state they would support starting the school year earlier. The P-value for the test of the hypotheses, and , is 0.04. What is the correct conclusion given ? Because the P-value is less than , the school board should reject H0. Because the P-value is less than , the school board should fail to reject H0. Because the P-value is greater than , the school board should reject H0. Because the P-value is greater than , the school board should fail to reject H0.

Students want to study the propotion of people in their university community who have tested positive for COVID at any time. They obtain a random sample of 780 students, faculty and staff, and they asked if they had ever tested positive for COVID. In the sample of 780 members of the university community, 516 had tested positive for COVID at some point. Estimate the overall proportion of the university community that has tested positive for COVID. Use a 99% confidence level.
