A school administrator believes that there is no difference between student drop out rates for schools located in rural areas and schools located in urban areas. A random sample of 100 schools in the rural areas was taken. The student dropout rate of the schools in the sample was 27%. A random sample of 80 schools in the urban areas had a dropout rate of 20%.
A. Give a point estimate for the differences between the population proportions for the two districts.
B. Give a point estimate of the standard deviation for the difference between the population proportions.
C. Compute the test statistic for testing the administrator's belief.
D. At 95% confidence using the p-value approach, test the administrator's belief.

Independent random samples of students were taken from two high schools, R and S, and the proportion of students who drive to school in each sample was recorded. The difference between the two sample proportions (R minus S) was 0.07. Under the assumption that all conditions for inference were met, a hypothesis test was conducted where the alternative hypothesis was the population proportion of students who drive to school for R was greater than that for S. The p-value of...

A telephone service representative believes that the proportion of customers completely satisfied with their local telephone service is different between the Northeast and the Midwest. The representative's belief is based on the results of a survey. The survey included a random sample of 920 northeastern residents and 840 midwestern residents. 54% of the northeastern residents and 44% of the midwestern residents reported that they were completely satisfied with their local telephone service. Find the 90% confidence interval for the difference...

A pet food producer fills 25-pound bags of dog food on two different production lines located in separate cities. In an effort to determine whether differences exist between the average fill rates for the two lines, a random sample of 18 bags from line 1 and a random sample of 23 bags from line 2 were recently selected. Each bag's weight was measured and...
