Question

From previous studies, it is concluded that 48% of people support stricter gun laws. A researcher claims it has decreased and decides to survey 100 adults. Test the researcher's claim at the $\alpha = 0.05$ significance level Preliminary: a. Is it safe to assume that $n \leq 0.05$ of all subjects in the population? Yes No b. Verify $np(1 - p) \geq 10$. Round your answer to one decimal place. $np(1 - p) =$ Test the claim: a. Express the null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form for this claim. $H_0:$ $H_a:$ b. After surveying 100 adult Americans, the researcher finds that 34 people support stricter gun laws. Compute the test statistic. Round to two decimal places. $z = $ c. What is the p-value? Round to 4 decimals. $p = $

From previous studies, it is concluded that 50% of people support stricter gun laws. A researcher claims it is safe to assume that no more than 5% of all subjects in the population do not support stricter gun laws. Test the claim. Express the null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form for this claim. H0: p = 0.50 H1: p > 0.05 b. After surveying 100 adult Americans, the researcher finds that 34 people support stricter gun laws. Compute the test statistic. Round to two decimal places. c. What is the p-value? Round to 4 decimals.

14% of people support stricter gun laws. A researcher thinks it has increased. a) Express the null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form for this claim. When entering the decimal enter the zero before the decimal point. For example, if you have 35%, enter it as 0.35. H0: Ha: Use the following codes to enter the following symbols: ≥ enter >=, ≤ enter <=, ≠ enter != b) You decide to survey 100 adult Americans and find that 65 of people support stricter gun laws. Find the test statistic. Round to two decimal places. z = c) What is the p-value? Round to 4 decimals. p = d) Make a decision base on a 0.05 significance level. Do not reject the null Reject the null e) What is the conclusion? There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that 14 % of people support stricter gun laws has increased There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that 14 % of people support stricter gun laws has increased

00:01 14 % of people support stricter gun laws.
00:04 A researcher thinks that it has increased.
00:07 Part a expressed the null and alternative hypothesis in symbolic form for this claim.
00:11 When entering the decimal, enter the zero before the decimal point.
00:18 So our null hypothesis would be mu is equal to 0 .14 versus the alternative that mu is greater than 0 .14.
00:32 Part b, you decide to survey 100 adult americans and find that 65 of the people support stricter gun laws.
00:49 Find the test statistic...
