Two years ago, a survey revealed that 9,3% of Americans are bilingual. In a recent sample of 880 American,66 are bilingual. A researcher would like to verify whether the percentage of a bilingual Americans is different from that of the survey of two years ago.
a) Formulate the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis
b) Using a 10% confidential significance level, verify whether the null hypothesis is rejected.

According to a recent report. 46% of college student internships are unpaid. A recent survey of 60 college interns at a local university found that 29 had unpaid internships. Use the five-stop p-value approach to hypothesis testing and a 0.01 level of significance to determine whether the proportion of college intiems that had unpaid internships is different from 0.46. Lot be the population proportion. Determine the null hypothesis, Ho, and the alternative hypothesis. Hy Ho: H: = 0.46 0.46 What...

A survey conducted five years ago by the health center at a university showed that 5.9% of the students smoked cigarettes at the time. This year a new survey was conducted on a random sample of 600 students from this university, and it was found that 33 of them smoke cigarettes. Test the claim that the percentage of students who smoke cigarettes at this university is less than it was five years ago. Use a significance level of 0.02. a....
New Survey A survey was conducted two years ago asking college students their top motivations for using a credit card. To determine whether this distribution has changed, you randomly select 425 college students and ask each one what the top motivation is for using a credit card. Can you conclude that there has been a change in the claimed or expected distribution? Use a =0.05. Complete parts (a) through (d). Response Old Survey % Rewards 28% Low rates 24% Cash...
