A university student wishes to explore whether GENDER (man/woman/trans/non-binary) is associated with AGREEMENT (agree/disagree/neutral) to the existence of a social media platform that allows almost all forms of non-violent free speech with minimal content moderation to censure only the most egregious of posts. Of the 47 men polled 25 agreed and 10 were neutral. Of the 50 women polled 14 agreed and 5 were neutral. Of the 41 transgendered people polled 18 agreed and 4 were neutral. Of the 50 nonbinary people 6 agreed and 12 were neutral. The rest disagreed with such a platform being allowed to exist in our society. The student wishes to test the hypothesis of independence using the chi square test. How many degrees of freedom are there under the null hypothesis?

Step 1
The student is examining the relationship between two categorical variables: GENDER (with four categories: man, woman, transgender, non-binary) and AGREEMENT (with three categories: agree, disagree, neutral) regarding the existence of a specific type of social Show more…

A poll asked college students in 2016 and again in 2017 whether they believed the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of the press was secure or threatened in the country today. In 2016, 2490 of 3099 students surveyed said that freedom of the press was secure or very secure. In 2017, 1806 of 2037 students surveyed felt this way. Complete parts (a) and (b). A. Determine whether the proportion of college students who believe that freedom of the press is secure or very secure in this country has changed from 2016. Use a significance level of 0.01. Consider the first sample to be the 2016 survey, the second sample to be the 2017 survey, and the number of successes to be the number of people who believe that freedom of the press is secure or very secure. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? B. determine the test statistic. Z=_____ Identify the p-value. p-value =______ C. Use the sample data to construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of college students in 2016 and 2017 who felt the press was secure or very secure. How does your confidence interval support your hypothesis? the 90% confidence interval is(____,____)

A Gallup poll asked college students in 2016 and again in 2017 whether they believed the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of the press was secure or threatened in the country today. In 2016,2489 out of 3072 students surveyed said that freedom of the press was secure or very secure. In 2017,1808 out of 2014 students surveyed felt this way. a. Determine whether the proportion of college students who believe that freedom of the press is secure or very secure in the country changed from $2016 .$ Use a significance level of $0.05$. b. Use the sample data to construct a $95 \%$ confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of college students in 2016 and 2017 who felt freedom of the press was secure or very secure. How does your confidence interval support your hypothesis test conclusion?
Academic staff members at a college were cross-classified according to gender and political affiliation. The two-way table below shows the results. Democrat Republican Total Male 39 19 58 Female 85 26 111 Total 124 45 169 Calculate the marginal counts (row and column totals) in the table. Then, conduct a test to determine whether gender and political affiliation are independent at the significance level of 0.1. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: Gender and political affiliation are independent. Ha: Gender and political affiliation are not independent. (b) Calculate the expected counts. (Round to 3 decimal places.) Democrat Republican Total Male 45.988 12.012 58 Female 78.012 32.988 111 Total 124 45 169 (c) Calculate the test statistic. (Round to 3 decimal places.) (d) Approximate the p-value. Select p-value < 0.01 (e) State the decision. Reject the null hypothesis.
