A state youth council believes this proportion is higher in their state, where there has been an intense media campaign about this issue. A survey of randomly chosen students from across the state shows 1032 of 1642 students reporting they are having these conversations with their parents. Is there evidence that the percent of students using drugs, tobacco or alcohol in this state is above the national rate?arrow_forwardTelemarketers continue to attempt to reach consumers by calling land-line phone numbers.According to estimates from a national 2003 survey, based on face-to-face interviews in 16,677 households,approximately 58.2% of U.S. adults have both a landline in their residence and a cell phone, 2.8% have only cellphone service but no landline, and 1.6% have no telephone service at all.

Explain.arrow_forwardSierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?arrow_forward
