Question 3

Use the given information to find the P-value. Also, use a 0.05 significance level and state the conclusion about the null hypothesis (reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesis). The test statistic in a right-tailed test is z = 1.43.

Question 5

Assume that you plan to use a significance level of alpha = 0.05 to test the claim that p1 = p2. Use the given sample sizes and numbers of successes to find the z test statistic for the hypothesis test. A random sampling of sixty pitchers from the National League and fifty-two pitchers from the American League showed that 19 National and 11 American League pitchers had E.R.A's below 3.5.

Question 6

Assume that you plan to use a significance level of alpha = 0.05 to test the claim that p1 = p2. Use the given sample sizes and numbers of successes to find the P-value for the hypothesis test. n1 = 50; n2 = 50x1 = 8; x2 = 7

Question 7

Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between population proportions . Assume that the samples are independent and that they have been randomly selected. In a random sample of 300 women, 49% favored stricter gun control legislation. In a random sample of 200 men, 28% favored stricter gun control legislation. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the population proportions p1 - p2.

Question 8

Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Also assume that the population standard deviations are equal (sigma1 = sigma2), so that the standard error of the difference between means is obtained by pooling the sample variances.A researcher was interested in comparing the resting pulse rates of people who exercise regularly and people who do not exercise regularly. Independent simple random samples were obtained of 16 people who do not exercise regularly and 12 people who do exercise regularly. The resting pulse rate (in beats per minute) of each person was recorded. The summary statistics are as follows.Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the mean pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly and the mean pulse rate of people who exercise regularly.
