Hypothesis tests for proportions
In 2007, a Gallup poll estimated that 45% of U.S. adults rated their financial situation as "good." We want to know if the proportion is smaller this year. We gather a random sample of 100 U.S. adults this year and find that 39 rate their financial situation as "good. After carrying out a hypothesis test for p 0.45 compared to p 0.45, we obtain a p-value of 0.114. Determine whether each of the following statements about...

that the proportion of American adults who oppose reinstatement of
the draft is greater than 0.7? Use a significance level of 0.05.

In a recent national poll, 30% of adults said they wanted to "cut down or be free of gluten.” A researcher wonders if a smaller proportion of students at her university would respond in the same fashion. Suppose the researcher conducts a survey of a random sample of 50 students at her university and 13 (or 26%) of them say they want to reduce or be free of gluten. A statistician carries out a significance test of the null hypothesis...

In a recent poll 1049 randomly selected adults were asked whether they approve of labor unions, 64% said yes. In 1936, about 68% of adults approved of labor unions. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of adults who approve of labor unions has decreased since 1936? Use the one proportion z tost to perform the appropriate hypothesis lost, after checking the conditions for the procedure. What are the hypotheses for...
