Boomerang Generation: The Boomerang Generation refers to the recent generation of young adults who have had to move back in with their parents. In a 2012 survey, suppose 155 out of 813 randomly selected young adults (ages 18–34) had to move back in with their parents after living alone. In a similar survey from the year 2000, suppose 288 out of 1824 young adults had to move back in with their parents. The table below summarizes this information. The standard error (SE) is given to save calculation time if you are not using software.
Data Summary:
number who | total number | Proportion | |
Year | moved back (x) | in survey (n) | p̂ = (x/n) |
2012 | 155 | 813 | 0.19065 |
2000 | 288 | 1824 | 0.15789 |
SE = 0.01577
The Test: Test the claim that a greater
proportion of all young adults moved back in with their parents in
2012 than in 2000. Use a 0.01 significance level.
(a) Letting p̂1 be the proportion of young adults that had to move back in with their parents in 2012 and p̂2 be the proportion from 2000, calculate the test statistic using software or the formulaz =
(p̂1 − p̂2) − δp |
SE |
where δp is the hypothesized
difference in proportions from the null hypothesis and the standard
error (SE) given with the data. Round your answer
to 2 decimal places.
z =
To account for hand calculations -vs- software, your answer
must be within 0.01 of the true answer.
(b) Use software or the z-table to get the P-value of the test
statistic. Round to 4 decimal places.
P-value =
(c) What is the conclusion regarding the null hypothesis?
reject H0fail to reject H0
(d) Choose the appropriate concluding statement.
The data supports the claim that a greater proportion of all young adults moved back in with their parents in 2012 than in 2000.There is not enough data to support the claim that a greater proportion of all young adults moved back in with their parents in 2012 than in 2000. We proved that the harder financial times of 2012 caused a greater proportion of young adults to move back in with their parents.We reject the claim that a greater proportion of all young adults moved back in with their parents in 2012 than in 2000.
a)
z = (p1- p2)/SE
= (0.19065 - 0.15789)/0.01577
= 2.08
b)
p value = 0.0189
c)
fail to reject H0
d)
0.There is not enough data to support the claim that a greater
proportion of all young adults moved back in with their parents in
2012 than in 2000.

California had stricter gun laws than Texas. However, California had a greater proportion of gun murders than Texas. Here we test whether or not the proportion was significantly greater in California. A significant difference is one that is unlikely to be a result of random variation. The table summarizes the data for each state. The p̂'s are actually population proportions but you should treat them as sample proportions. The standard error (SE) is given to save calculation time if you...
Gun Murders - Texas vs New York - Significance Test In 2011, New York had much stricter gun laws than Texas. For that year, the proportion of gun murders in Texas was greater than in New York. Here we test whether or not the proportion was significantly greater in Texas. The table below gives relevant information. Here, the p̂'s are population proportions but you should treat them as sample proportions. The standard error (SE) is given to save calculation time...
We want to test whether or not more students are absent on Friday afternoon classes than on Wednesday afternoon classes. In a random sample of 302 students with Friday afternoon classes, 48 missed the class. In a different random sample of 307 students with Wednesday afternoon classes, 32 missed the class. The table below summarizes this information. The standard error (SE) is given to save calculation time if you are not using software. Data Summary total number total number Proportion...
