Claim: Fewer than \( 9.6 \% \) of homes have only a landline telephone and no wireless phone. Sample data: A survey by the National Center for Health Statistics showed that among 13,813 homes \( 5.78 \% \) had landline phones without wireless phones. Complete parts (a) and (b). a. Express the original claim in symbolic form. Let the parameter represent a value with respect to homes that have only a landline telephone and no wireless phone. \( \square \) \( \square \) \( \square \) (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

Claim: More than 4.9% of homes have only a landline telephone and no wireless phone. Sample data: A survey by the National Center for Health Statistics showed that among 12,620 homes, 5.76% had phones without wireless phones. Complete parts (a) and (b): a. Express the original claim in symbolic form. Let the parameter represent a value that represents the proportion of homes with only a landline telephone and no wireless phone.

According to the Pew Research Center, the proportion of the American population who use only a cellular telephone (no landline) is 37%. Jason claims that the proportion of young American adults who do not have a landline is greater than 37%. He conducts a survey with a sample of randomly selected young American adults and finds that 38% do not have landlines. If we set up our null and alternative hypotheses as follows: H0: p = 0.37 Ha: p > 0.37 and find that the "p-value" = 0.418. Does this provide enough evidence to support Jason’s claim? Use an α = 0.05 level of significance. Choose the correct answer below. Since the p-value < α, do not reject the null hypothesis. Since the p-value > α, do not reject the null hypothesis. Since the p-value < α, reject the null hypothesis. Since the p-value > α, reject the null hypothesis.
Verizon wireless would like to estimate the proportion of households that use cell phones for their phone service without a land line. a random sample of 150 households was selected and 48 relied strictly on cell phones for their service. the 95% confidence interval for the proportion based on this sample is
