1.

A study found that 68% of the population owns a home. In a random sample of 150 households, 92 owned a home. At the α = 0.01 level, is there enough evidence to reject the claim?


Choose the correct hypotheses.

a)

H0: p = 0.68

Ha: p < 0.68

b)

H0: p = 0.68

Ha: p ≠ 0.68

c)

H0: p = 0.68

Ha: p > 0.68

d)

H0: μ = 0.68

Ha: μ ≠ 0.68

2.

A study found that 68% of the population owns a home. In a random sample of 150 households, 92 owned a home. At the α = 0.01 level, is there enough evidence to reject the claim?

z = 0.08

3.

A study found that 68% of the population owns a home. In a random sample of 150 households, 92 owned a home. At the α = 0.01 level, is there enough evidence to reject the claim?

a)

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

b)

Reject the null hypothesis

b)

There is enough evidence to reject the claim that 68% of the population owns a home

6.

The percentage of female physicians is 27%. In a survey of physicians, 45 of the 120 were women. Is there sufficient evidence at the α = 0.01 to claim that the proportion of women physicians is greater than 27%?
