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...
In a recent poll 1049 randomly selected adults were asked whether they approve of labor unions, 64% said yes. In 1936, about 68% of adults approved of labor unions. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of adults who approve of labor unions has decreased since 1936? Use the one proportion z tost to perform the appropriate hypothesis lost, after checking the conditions for the procedure. What are the hypotheses for...

In a recent poll 1087 randomly selected adults were asked whether they approve of labor unions; 61% said yes. In 1936, about 63% of adults approved of labor unions. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of adults who approve of labor unions has decreased since 1936? Use the one-proportion z-test to perform the appropriate hypothesis test, after checking the conditions for the procedure. What is the test statistic?

9 A Gallup poll of 520 randomly selected American adults and asked whether they believe in extrasensory perception, or ESP. Forty percent professed a belief in ESP. Find the interval of the middle 95% of adults who believe in ESP. Round all values to the nearest ten-thousandth.
Adults randomly selected for a poll were asked if they "favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos." Of the subjects surveyed, 308 were in favor, 294 were opposed, and 82 were unsure. A politician claims that people don't really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin flip. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the...
(1 point) Assume that adults were randomly selected for a poll. They were asked if they "favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos. Of those polled, 481 were in favor, 400 were opposed, and 116 were unsure. A politician claims that people don't really were unsure, and use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5....
