Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows. Current Year (1) Previous Year (2) 1458 1800 Occupied Rooms (X) 1470 Total Rooms (n) 1750 Under the question of a test of hypothesis about the two proportions, what is the value of the standard error? (Round to four decimals.) Answer:arrow_forwardFinal Conclusions. In Exercises 25–28, use a significance level of α = 0.05 and use the given information for the following: a. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis. (Reject H0 or fail to reject h0). b. Without using technical terms or symbols, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Original claim: Fewer than 90% of adults have a cell phone. The hypothesis test results in a p-value of 0.0003.arrow_forwardFrom the table on the image: Construct an appropriate hypothesis test to determine whether or not there is an association between experiencing phenomena such as seeing a ghost and the age group you are in.

- Use the calculator displays to the right to make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis at a significance level of α=0.01. (View the image for the displays) The correct answer is.. A. Since the P-value is greater than α, fail to reject the null hypothesis. B. Since the P-value is greater than α, reject the null hypothesis. C. Since the P-value is less than α, fail to reject the null hypothesis. D. Since the P-value is less than α, reject the null hypothesis.arrow_forwardTest the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is smaller than the proportion of women who own cats at the 0.005 significance level.The null and alternative hypothesis would be: H0:pm=pfH1:pm<pf The test is: left-tailed Based on a sample of 80 men, 25% owned catsBased on a sample of 20 women, 40% owned catsThe test statistic is: ?
