Chapter 9: Q. 111 (page 555)

For Americans using library services, the American Library Association claims that at most 67% of patrons borrow books. The library director in Owensboro, Kentucky feels this is not true, so she asked a local college statistic class to conduct a survey. The class randomly selected 100 patrons and found that 82borrowed books. Did the class demonstrate that the percentage was higher in Owensboro, KY? Use 伪=0.01 level of significance. What is the possible proportion of patrons that do borrow books from the Owensboro Library?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 67%of patrons borrow books in Owensboro, KY. The possible proportion of patrons that do borrow books from the library is 0.82.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

x=82,n=100,po=0.67,a=0.01

02

Explanation

State the hypothesis:

The null hypothesis states that most 67%of the patrons borrow books in Owensboro, KY. In symbols:

Ho:p鈮�0.67

The alternative hypothesis states that more than 67%of patrons borrow books in Owensboro, KY. In symbols:

Ha:p>0.67

The sample proportion is:

P铃�=xn=82100=0.82

The test statistic is:

z=p铃�-p0p01-p0n=0.82-0.670.671-0.67100=0.1500.0470=3.19

For the right-tailed test, the p-value is:

p-value=Pz>3.19=0.0007

Since p-value=0.0007<0.01, reject the null hypothesis.

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that 51.7%of homes were heated by natural gas.

A poll done for Newsweek found that 13%of Americans have seen or sensed the presence of an angel. A contingent doubts that the percent is really that high. It conducts its own survey. Out of 76Americans surveyed, only two had seen or sensed the presence of an angel. As a result of the contingent's survey, would you agree with the Newsweek poll? In complete sentences, also give three reasons why the two polls might give different results.

Previously, an organization reported that teenagers spent 4.5 hours per week, on average, on the phone. The organization thinks that, currently, the mean is higher. Fifteen randomly chosen teenagers were asked how many hours per week they spend on the phone. The sample mean was 4.75 hours with a sample standard deviation of 2.0. Conduct a hypothesis test. At a significance level of a = 0.05, what is the correct conclusion?

a. There is enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.75

b. There is enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.5

c. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.5

d. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.75

"Asian Family Reunion," by Chau Nguyen every two years it comes around. We all get together from different towns. In my honest opinion, It's not a typical family reunion. Not forty, or fifty, or sixty, But how about seventy companions! The kids would play, scream, and shout One minute they're happy, another they'll pout. The teenagers would look, stare, and compare from how they look to what they wear. The men would chat about

their business . That they make more, but never less. Money is always their subject and there's always talk of more new projects. The women get tired from all of the chats. They head to the kitchen to set out the mats. Some would sit and some would stand eating and talking with plates in their hands. Then come the games and the songs and suddenly, everyone gets along! With all that laughter, it's sad to say that it always ends in

the same old way. They hug and kiss and say "good-bye" and then they all begin to cry! I say that 60 percent shed their tears but my mom counted 35 people this year. She said

that boys and men will always have their pride, so we won't ever see them cry. I myself don't think she's correct, so could you please try this problem to see if you object?
