Chapter 10: Problem 61

Assuming a random sample from a large population, for which of the following null hypotheses and sample sizes is the large-sample \(z\) test appropriate? a. \(H_{0}: p=0.8, n=40\) b. \(H_{0}: p=0.4, n=100\) c. \(H_{0}: p=0.1, n=50\) d. \(H_{0}: p=0.05, n=750\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The large-sample z test is only appropriate for scenarios b and d.

Step by step solution

01

Check for Scenario a

Given \(H_{0}: p=0.8, n=40\). So np = 0.8*40 = 32 and n(1-p) = 40*(1-0.8) = 8. Since n(1-p) < 10, the large sample z-test is not appropriate for scenario a.
02

Check for Scenario b

Given \(H_{0}: p=0.4, n=100\). So np = 0.4*100 = 40 and n(1-p) = 100*(1-0.4) = 60. Both np and n(1-p) are greater than 10, so the large sample z-test is appropriate for scenario b.
03

Check for Scenario c

Given \(H_{0}: p=0.1, n=50\). So np = 0.1*50 = 5 and n(1-p) = 50*(1-0.1) = 45. Since np < 10, the large sample z-test is not appropriate for scenario c.
04

Check for Scenario d

Given \(H_{0}: p=0.05, n=750\). So np = 0.05*750 = 37.5 and n(1-p) = 750*(1-0.05) = 712.5. Both np and n(1-p) are greater than 10, so the large sample z-test is appropriate for scenario d.

In a survey of 1,000 women ages 22 to 35 who work full-time, 540 indicated that they would be willing to give up some personal time in order to make more money (USA Today, March 4, 2010). The sample was selected to be representative of women in the targeted age group. a. Do the sample data provide convincing evidence that a majority of women ages 22 to 35 who work fulltime would be willing to give up some personal time for more money? Test the relevant hypotheses using \(\alpha=0.01\) b. Would it be reasonable to generalize the conclusion from Part (a) to all working women? Explain why or why not.

A number of initiatives on the topic of legalized gambling have appeared on state ballots. A political candidate has decided to support legalization of casino gambling if he is convinced that more than two-thirds of American adults approve of casino gambling. Suppose that 1,035 of the people in a random sample of 1,523 American adults said they approved of casino gambling. Is there convincing evidence that more than two-thirds approve?

A county commissioner must vote on a resolution that would commit substantial resources to the construction of a sewer in an outlying residential area. Her fiscal decisions have been criticized in the past, so she decides to take a survey of residents in her district to find out if they favor spending money for a sewer system. She will vote to appropriate funds only if she can be reasonably sure that a majority of the people in her district favor the measure. What hypotheses should she test?

USA Today (Feb. 17,2011 ) reported that \(10 \%\) of 1,008 American adults surveyed about their use of e-mail said that they had ended a relationship by e-mail. You would like to use this information to estimate the proportion of all adult Americans who have used e-mail to end a relationship.

The article "Theaters Losing Out to Living Rooms" (San Luis Obispo Tribune, June 17,2005 ) states that movie attendance declined in \(2005 .\) The Associated Press found that 730 of 1,000 randomly selected adult Americans prefer to watch movies at home rather than at a movie theater. Is there convincing evidence that a majority of adult Americans prefer to watch movies at home? Test the relevant hypotheses using a 0.05 significance level.
