In a study of health behavior, a random sample of 500 subjects from a major city was surveyed. In this random sample, 310 responded that they had dinner mostly after 8 PM.
- At 5% level of significance, does the data support that more than 60% of the residents in this city had dinner after 8 PM? (Must state null and alternative hypotheses and use p-value to conclude the test. You can use Chi-square Goodness of fit test or Binomial test in SPSS or Single Sample Proportion Test in R Commander. However, if you use a statistical software, you must show the output from the software.)
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
Report p-value and use it to draw the conclusion:
[Put your statistical software output here to support your answers above!]
- Report a 95% confidence interval for estimating the percentage of residents in this city had dinner after 8 PM. (SPSS does not have an option for this question. R has a binconf() function that can find the confidence interval proportion using the formula you learned in this course. You must show software output if you used it to solve this problem. If you do not know how to use a software, you can do your own computing and show your work.) [Please report your answer in two forms, estimate plus and minus margin of error, and also the interval form.]
Estimate ± margin of error form: _______ ± _______
Interval form: ( , )

After interviewing a sample of 100 residents of New Taipei City,
you find that the mean AGE of the sample respondents is 35 years
with a standard deviation of 5.0, and that AGE seems fairly
normally distributed. However, you are told that the average age of
New Taipei City is less than 37 years ten years ago. Based on your
sample data, you need to test whether the true average age of all
New Taipei City residents is still less...

You have a coin that you suspect is not fair (i.e., the
probability of tossing a head (PH) is not equal to the probability
of tossing a tail (PT) or stated in another way: PH ≠ 0.5). To
test yoursuspicion, you record the results of 25 tosses of the
coin. The 25 tosses result in 17 heads and 8 tails.
a) Use the results of the 25 tosses in SPSS to construct a 98%
confidence interval around the probability of...

Marietta is running for a seat in the Ames City Council. She
claims to be supported by over 40% of residents. To examine this
claim, you ask 10 randomly chosen residents whether they are
supporting Marietta (there is not enough money in City Council
elections to conduct a large survey). 8 of the 10 answer that they,
indeed, support Marietta. a) What is the null hypothesis about the
probability p for any resident to support Marietta, if you want to...

A psychologist is examining the educational advantages of a
preschool program. A sample of 16 fourth grade children is
obtained. Half of these children (n = 8) attended preschool and the
others (n = 8) had not. The psychologist records the scholastic

A random sample of 400 families in the city of Minneapolis
showed that 192 of them owned pets. The city council claims that
53% of the families in the city own pets. Does the data indicate
that the actual percentage of families owning pets is different
from 53%? Use a 5% significance level. For each hypothesis test
please provide the following information:
(a) State the null and the alternate hypotheses.
(b) Identify the sampling distribution to be used: the standard...

A therapist would like to evaluate an intervention for treating
depression. A
sample of n = 20 depressed clients is
obtained, and each person’s level of depression is measured using a
standardized questionnaire before they begin the therapy program.
Two weeks after therapy, each client’s level of depression is
measured again. The average level of depression dropped by 4.0
points following therapy. The difference scores had a variance of
64.
a. State the null hypothesis.

Use the GSS dataset to answer the questions below. All analysis
must be completed using your own GSS data set. Failure to use your
own GSS data set will result in a zero for the question. As above,
you will need to read and interpret the question to determine which
statistical test is appropriate, as well as whether it is a
one-tailed or two-tailed test. Similar to the questions above, you
must: 1. State the null and research hypotheses 2....

Suppose that Adam is a candidate for city council in a large
metropolitan area. While campaigning, he claimed that 61% of adult
city residents meet or exceed the recommendations of the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for physical activity each
week. Jim, a reporter for a local fact-checking website, suspects
that Adam pulls numbers out of thin air without doing any research.
To test Adam's assertion, Jim surveyed 320 randomly selected adult
city residents and found that 181...
