The manager of the dairy section of a Superstore in Regina feels that at least 10% of the egg cartons have at least
one broken egg. She took a random sample of 250 egg cartons and found that 40 cartons had at least one broken
egg. At a = 0.05, can we conclude the manager is correct?

- Professor Nord stated that the mean score on the final exam from all the years he has been teaching is a 79%. Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the null hypothesis in this case? If p = 0.29, should Colby reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? What should Colby’s statement of conclusion be?

- Ex 9. Suppose that a national survey finds that 73 percent of restaurant employees say that work stress has a negative impact on their personal lives. A random sample of 200 employees of a large restaurant chain finds that 141 employees say that work stress has a negative impact on their personal lives. a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses needed to attempt to provide evidence that the percentage of work-stressed employees for the restaurant chain differs from the national percentage. b.

Suppose a recent study states that the proportion of adults in the general population who reported drinking once a week or less in the last month is 0.26. The null hypothesis for this test is p = 0.26 and the alternative hypothesis is p+ 0.26. The researcher collected data from 150 surveys he handed out at a busy park located in the region. Are the conditions for proceeding with a one-proportion z-test satisfied? If not, which condition is not satisfied? O a. Conditions are not satisfied; the researcher did not collect a random sample. O b. Conditions are not satisfied; the population of interest is not large enough to assume independence. Oc. Conditions are not satisfied; the sample size is not large enough. O d. All conditions are satisfied.arrow_forwardA medical researcher claims that the proportion of people taking a certain medication that develop serious side effects is 12%.

A researcher is wondering whether the drinking habits of adults in a certain region of the country are in the same proportion as the general population of adults. Suppose a recent study stated that the proportion of adults who reported drinking once a week or less in the last month was 0.26. The null hypothesis for this test is Ho: p = 0.26 and the alternative hypothesis is Hap<0.26. The researcher collected data from 150 surveys he handed out at a busy park located in the region. To continue the study into the drinking habits of adults, the researcher decides to collect data from adults working in "white collar" jobs to see whether their drinking habits are in the same proportion as the general public. The null hypothesis for this test is Ho: p = 0.26 and the alternative hypothesis is Ha: p<0.26.
