You are a research assistant at a zoo. The question of your study is "Has the proportion of baby zebras born in zoos increased from 10%?". Your supervisor asks that you run a hypothesis test using an significance level of 0.05. Form the study you obtain a z-score of 0.788. Do you reject the null hypothesis and why?
A) Yes, you reject the null hypothesis. The obtained z-score is in the area of rejection.
B) No, you retain the null hypothesis. The obtained z-score is not in the area of rejection.
C) Yes, you reject the null hypothesis. The obtained z-score is not in the area of rejection.
D) No, you retain the null hypothesis. The obtained z-score is in the area of rejection.

A recent survey contained the question "How important to your life is having a fulfilling job?" Of the 265 college graduates surveyed, 99 chose the response "Very important." Of the 118 people surveyed whose highest level of education was high school or less, 42 chose the response "Very important." Based on these data, can we conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that there is a difference between the proportion p₁ of all U.S. college graduates who would answer "Very important" and the proportion p of all U.S. adults whose highest level of education was high school or less who would answer "Very important"?

- Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment.
