Past studies have indicated that the percentage of smokers was estimated to be about 32%. Given the new
smoking cessation programs that have been implemented, you now believe that the percentage of smokers
has reduced. You randomly surveyed 2055 people and found that 615 smoke. Use a 0.05 significance level
to test the claim that the percentage of smokers has reduced.
a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses?
Ho: ?
H₁: ?
b) What type of hypothesis test should you conduct (left-, right-, or two-tailed)?
O left-tailed
Oright-tailed
O two-tailed
c) Identify the appropriate significance level.
d) Calculate your test statistic (Use p rounded to 4 decimal places). Write the result below, and round your
test statistic to 4 decimal places.

TV Viewing Times. Data from a sample of Americans yielded the following estimates of average TV viewing time per month for all Americans 2 years old and older. The times are in hours and minutes; Q1 stands for first quarter. [SOURCE: The Cross-Platform Report, Quarter 1, 2011. Published by The Nielsen Company, _c 2011.]
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question.
Advertisers contract with internet service providers and search engines to place ads on websites. They pay a fee based on the number of potential customers who click on
their ad. Unforțunately, click fraud-the practice of someone clicking on an ad solely for the purpose of driving up advertising revenue–has become a problem. Businessweek
reports that 4C percent of advertisers claim they have been a victim of click fraud. Suppose a simple random sample of 390 advertisers will be taken to learn more about
how they are affected by this practice. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within ±0.04 of the population proportion experiencing click fraud?
(b) What is the probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 0.45?

- In February 2021, the Chicago Tribune reported:“The overdose epidemic that has ravaged Chicago has not spared the nearby suburbs, some of which have death rates comparable to anything seen in the city, according to a report released this week by the Cook County Department of Public Health. ZIP codes in the towns of Worth, Broadview, Maywood, and Forest Park, areas that “have substantially lower median household incomes and higher poverty rates,” have been especially hard-hit, the report said.”In the article, they claimed that lower incomes were associated with higher overdose death rates and that overdose death rates are increasing over time. The data you have been analyzing wasn’t focused on Chicago, obviously. But do your results support the general gist of the statistical argument being made in this Tribune excerpt? Please address:• Do overdose death rates appear to be associated with per capita income (use scatterplot)?• Do overdose death rates appear to be increasing over time…arrow_forwardDefine the term scatterplot?arrow_forwardIn 2011 home prices and mortgage rates dropped so low that in a number of cities the monthly cost of owning a home was less expensive than renting. The following data show the average asking rent for 10 markets and the monthly mortgage on the median priced home (including taxes and insurance) for 10 cities where the average monthly mortgage payment was less than the average asking rent (The Wall Street Journal, November 26–27, 2011).Click on the datafile logo to reference the data. Enter negative values as negative numbers. a.

- Black Friday is a colloquial term for the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Many stores offer highly promoted sales on Black Friday and open very early, or even on Thanksgiving Day. Black Friday has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States since at least 2005. According to a finder.com survey from September 2021, the site predicts that this year 69% of Americans aged 18-24 are going to shop the sales on Black Friday. Data were collected from a random sample of Americans aged 18-24. 0 means "will not shop on Black Friday and 1 means "will shop on Black Friday". Using sigma = 0.05, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that finder.com is incorrect and that the proportion of Americans aged 18-24 will be different than 69%? Conduct a full hypothesis test by following the steps below. b) Define the population parameter in context in one sentence. c) State the null and alternative hypotheses using correct notation. d)…arrow_forwardBlack Friday is a colloquial term for the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States.
