Casino gambling was a hot issue in the state of Florida. A survey conducted in 2006 found that 1035 of 1523 Americans supported legalized gambling. Does this survey provide sufficient evidence that more than 67%(the percentage of a previous poll) of Americans are in support of legalized gambling?
a. State the null and alternative hypothesis.
b. Calculate the z-value.
c. Suppose that you found out that the statistic you found earlier produces a p-value of 0.213. Does this mean that the survey suggests that Americans support legalized gambling at a rate higher than 67%? Explain.
d. Is the p-value given in part c (0.213) a feasible match for the test z-statistic you found in part b? Explain.
e. use a z-table to find the real p-value for the test z statistic you found in part b.

A Gallup poll to survey the top concerns of Americans was conducted. Suppose that 743 women and 713 men were independently and randomly selected, and that 383 women and 282282 men chose the state of the economy as their biggest concern. Can we conclude that the proportion of women ( p1 ), choosing the state of the economy as their biggest concern, exceeds the proportion of men ( p2 )? Use a significance level of α=0.1 for the test. Step 1...

The Field Poll and UC Berkeley’s Institute of Government Studies conducted a poll of a random sample of 500 likely voters residing in California. 57% of those surveyed were in favor of legalizing marijuana. The pollsters were concerned whether the percentage of the population in favor of legalization formed a majority. So, their question was the following: Does support for marijuana legalization among California likely voters differ from 50%? Provide the null and alternative hypotheses in both sentences and notation....
