34. Report by the Gallup Poll stated that on average a woman visits her physician 5.8 times a year. In a random sample of 20 women the number of doctor visits is obtained as follows: 3 2 1 3 7 2 9 4 6 6 8 0 5 6 4 2 1 3 4 1 (Check yourself: the sample mean is 3.85 and the standard deviation is about 2.52) At α = 0.01 can it be concluded that the actual average number of doctor visits is less than 5.8?

A Gallup poll to survey the top concerns of Americans was
conducted. Suppose that 366366 women and 422422 men were
independently and randomly selected, and that 202202 women and
186186 men chose the state of the economy as their biggest concern.
Can we conclude that the proportion of women ( p1p1 ), choosing the
state of the economy as their biggest concern, exceeds the
proportion of men ( p2p2 )? Use a significance level of
α=0.05α=0.05 for the test.
