Does this provide evidence that the true proportion of students at this college who use Twitter is higher than the nationally stated 15%? Use a significance level of 0.05 and the p-value to give your decision. The correct hypotheses to use are: Ho: p = 0.15 HA: p > 0.15 Blank #1: Report the test statistic to two decimal places Blank #2: Report the p-value to four decimal places.

Justin wants to know whether a commonly prescribed drug does improve the attention span of students with attention deficit disorder (ADD). He knows that the mean attention span for students with ADD who are not taking the drug is 2.3 minutes long. His sample of 12 students taking the drug yielded a mean of 4.6 minutes. Justin can find no information regarding σx , so he calculated s2x =1.96. Identify the independent and dependent variables. In a sentence, state the null hypothesis being tested. c.
