For Americans using library services, the American Library Association claims that at most 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 patrons and found that borrowed books. Did the class demonstrate that the percentage was higher in Owensboro, KY? Use level of significance. What is the possible proportion of patrons that do borrow books from the Owensboro Library?
According to the Center for Disease Control website, in at leastof high school students have smoked a cigarette. An Introduction to Statistics class in Davies County,KY conducted a hypothesis test at the local high school (a medium sized–approximately students–small city demographic) to determine if the local high school’s percentage was lower. One hundred fifty students were chosen at random and surveyed. Of the students surveyed, have smoked. Use a significance level of and using appropriate statistical evidence, conduct a hypothesis test and state the conclusions.
You are performing a hypothesis test of a single population proportion. The data come from which distribution ?
La Leche League International reports that the mean age of weaning a child from breastfeeding is age four to five worldwide. In America, most nursing mothers wean their children much earlier. Suppose a random survey is conducted of 21 U.S. mothers who recently weaned their children. The mean weaning age was nine months (3/4 year) with a standard deviation of 4 months. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean weaning age in the U.S. is less than four years old.
Over the past few decades, public health officials have examined the link between weight concerns and teen girls' smoking. Researchers surveyed a group of 273 randomly selected teen girls living in Massachusetts (between 12 and 15 years old). After four years the girls were surveyed again. Sixty-three said they smoked to stay thin. Is there good evidence that more than thirty percent of teen girls smoke to stay thin? The alternative hypothesis is:
