Exercise 17-11: Feeling Rushed?
Exercise 17-11: Feeling Rushed? 6-1, 6-30, 6-31, 16-28, 17-11, 24-26, 25-30, 25-31 Recall from Activity 6-1 that the 2004 General Social Survey asked a random sample of 977 adult Americans how often they feel rushed, with three options to choose from: always, sometimes, and never.
a. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether one-third of all adult Americans would answer “always.”
b. Check and comment on whether the technical conditions for conducting this test are satisfied. The sample result was that 304 of the 977 people responded “always.”
c. Calculate the value of the test statistic.
d. Calculate the p-value.
e. Interpret what this p-value means in this context. [Hint: The p-value is the probability of what, assuming what?]
f. State your test decision at the α .05 significance level.
g. Summarize your conclusion in the context of this study

In a 1993 study, researchers took a sample of people who dared to have had an intense experience with an unidentified flying object (UFO) and a sample of people who did not claim to have had such an experience (Spanes et al, 1993). They then compared the two groups on a wide variety of variables, duding 10. Suppose you want to test whether or not the average IQ of those who have had such a UFO experience is higher than...

2. (11 points) It is recommended that people try to keep their cholesterol level below 200. For a random sample of n = 30 control patients, the sample mean cholesterol was x¯ = 193.13 and the sample standard deviation was s = 22.30. Carry out the four following steps to test the appropriate hypothesis using α = 0.05. (a) (2 points) State your hypotheses in words and using proper mathematical symbols and notation. (b) (4 points) Compute your test statistic...

In one survey, successful female entrepreneurs were asked to state their personal definition of success in terms of several categories from which they could select. Thirty-nine percent responded that happiness was their definition of success, 12% said that sales/profit was their definition, 18% responded that helping others was their definition, and 31% responded that achievements/challenge was their definition. Suppose you wanted to determine whether male entrepreneurs felt the same way and took a random sample of men, resulting in the...

11. Athletes at a local college have a long-term graduation rate of 65%. Over the past several years, a random sample of 38 athletes at the school showed that 17 eventually graduated. We would like to determine whether this indicates that the population proportion of athletes who graduate from this college is now less than 65%. Use a 5% level of significance. a) State the null and alternate hypotheses. b) What sampling distribution will you use? c) Compute the value...
