Homework Answers
Solution:
Given:
p = 0.07
n = 1000
x = Number of a's in sample of 1000 letters = 84
Thus sample proportion of a's is:
Level of significance = 
Hypothesis:
We have to find z test statistic:
Find critical values:
use level of significance = 
Since this is two tailed, we find : Area = 
Look in z table for area = 0.0250 or its closest area and find z value
Area 0.0250 corresponds to -1.9 and 0.06
thus z critical value = -1.96
Since this is two tailed test, we have two z critical values: ( -1.96 , 1.96)
Decision Rule:
Reject null hypothesis ,if z test statistic value < z
critical value=-1.96 or z test statistic value > z
critical value= 1.96 , otherwise we fail to reject H0.
Since z test statistic value = z = 1.74 is neither less -1.96 , not greater than 1.96, we failed to reject H0.
Conclusion:
At 0.05 level of significance , we do not have sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of a's has changed in modern times.

Historically, the percentage of residents of a certain country who support stricter gun control laws has been 52%. A recent poll of 916 people showed 522 in favor of stricter gun control laws. Assume the poll was given to a random sample of people. Test the claim that the proportion of those favoring stricter gun control has changed. Perform a hypothesis test, using a significance level of 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses. H 0: The population proportion that...

An inspector inspects a shipment of medications to determine the efficacy in terms of the proportion p in the shipment that failed to retain full potency after 60 days of production. Unless there is clear evidence that this proportion is less than 0.1, she will reject the shipment. To reach a decision, she will test the following hypotheses. H0: p=0.10 vs. HA: p≠0.10 To do so, she selects a simple random sample of 200 pills. Suppose that 15 of the...

In a certain school district, it was observed that 24% of the students in the element schools were classified as only children (no siblings). However, in the special program for talented and gifted children, 119 out of 415 students are only children. The school district administrators want to know if the proportion of only children in the special program is significantly different from the proportion for the school district. Test at the α=0.05α=0.05 level of significance. What is the hypothesized...
