In a survey conducted in August, 2017, a random sample of 2,752 U.S. adults were asked whether they had visited a public library in the previous 12 months. The results of this survey are shown in the two-way table below, stratified by gender. Conduct a hypothesis test on this data, using a 10% significance level, to test the claim that the true proportion of U.S. adult males who visited a public library in the previous 12 months differs from the...
25. A 2012 Gallup poll asked a random sample of 120 American adults whether they thought the news media exaggerate the seriousness of global warming. The proportion who responded "No" was 59.2%. Is this good evidence that majority of American adults do not believe the news media exaggerate the seriousness of the global warning? a) Set up appropriate null and alternative hypothesis to answer the above question b) Calculate the value of the test statistic. c) Is the data significant...

The Gallup Poll asked a probability sample of 2500 U.S. adults whether they used a credit card to pay for groceries that week. Suppose that 25% of the adult population did. We would like to know the probability that an SRS of size 2500 would come within plus or minus 2 percentage points of this true value. If p-hat is the proportion of the sample who did use a credit card to pay for groceries, what is the mean of...

1. In an August 2012 Gallup survey of 1,012 randomly selected U.S. adults (age 18 and over), 53% said that they were dissatisfied with the quality of education students receive in kindergarten through grade 12. The bootstrap distribution (based on 5,000 samples) is provided. a). Would it be appropriate to use the normal distribution to construct the confidence interval in this situation? Explain briefly. b). The standard error from the bootstrap distribution is SE = 0.016. Use the normal distribution...
1). A survey asked San Diego residents the following question: “If you had been aware that before Arnold Schwarzenegger ran for Governor, he had fathered a child outside of his marriage, would you still have voted for him?” Out of the 150 males surveyed who had voted for Schwarzenegger 84 said they would still vote for him, and out of the 120 females 51 said they would. Does the data suggest that there is a difference between the proportion of...
