Ans:
Decision rule:
if less than 470 will vote for this candidate ,we will reject the claim.
z=(0.470-0.5)/sqrt(0.5*(1-0.5)/1000)
z=-1.897
alpha=P(z<-1.897)=0.0289

Question 8 7 < > A political observer claims that candidate A would win more than 50% of votes in the upcoming election. 95% confidence intervals for the true proportion of all voters who would vote for candidate A obtained from four different samples are shown below. How many of these intervals would provide enough evidence to support the claim? (0.478, 0.547) (0.44, 0.527) (0.435, 0.494) (0.526, 0.578) 00 01 O2 03 04 > Next Question

Candidate A claims he is getting a 60% positive approval rating. A recent poll has candidate A polling a 55% approval rating based on a sample of 600 voters (meaning 330 voters said they were approving of candidate A). Construct a 95% proportion confidence interval based on this data and determine whether the data supports the 60% claim. Start by using the binomial distribution (p + q)n = 1, and x = np. What is n? What is x? What...

In a survey of 1466 people, 1049 people said they voted in a recent presidential election. Voting records show that 69% of eligible voters actually did vote. Given that 69% of eligible voters actually did vote, (a) find the probability that among 1466 randomly selected voters, at least 1049 actually did vote. (b) What do the results from part (a) suggest? (a) P(X2 1049) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) What does the result from part (a)...

A friend stated that they believe that Bernie Sanders will win 34% of the super Tuesday vote in California. i think he's wrong! i think that the percentage of Californians voting for sanders will be different than 34%. We recently fielded a survey in California that included 850 voters. of the 850, results in California showed that 823 voters (38%) planned to vote for Bernie Sanders. We would like to test this at the significance level of 5%. a. Write...

1 In the November 2016 election, Donald Trump received 49% of the votes cast in Florida (Hillary Clinton received 47%). Many news organizations conduct surveys before elections to try to predict the winner. Suppose a survey was conducted in Florida shortly before the election such that we can assume that the true proportion of the population who planned to vote for Trump was 49%. The pollsters surveyed 600 likely voters and found that 283 of them planned to vote for...

The 2000 election fiasco in Florida has raised some serious questions regarding election reform. One poll specifically asked voters if they favor doing away with the Electoral College and choosing the president using a strictly popular vote (in which each vote is counted) of the people. The sample of 1,200 voters was taken and the results are given below. Please note that the results shown are for the proportion of those sampled that favored doing away with the Electoral College...

Ranked choice voting is a system of tallying election
ballots that is used in many national and local elections
throughout the world. Instead of choosing a single candidate,
voters must rank the available candidates in the order of their
choice. For example, if three candidates are available, a
voter might choose #2, #1, and #3 as their choices, with #2 being
their first choice, #1 the second, and #3 the third.
The outcome is determined by a runoff, which follows...
