Assume that adults were randomly selected for a poll. They were asked if they "favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos." Of those polled, 487 were in favor, 402 were opposed, and 120 were unsure. A politician claims that people don't really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin toss. Exclude the 120 subjects who said that they were unsure, and use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5. What does the result suggest about the politician's claim? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below. A. H0: p = 0.5 H1: p < 0.5 B. H0: p = 0.5 H1: p > 0.5 C. H0: p ? 0.5 H1: p = 0.5 D. H0: p = 0.5 H1: p ? 0.5 Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test. The test statistic for this hypothesis test is ?. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

95% CI for a population mean = 50, 60: two-sided alternative, possible to reject the null hypothesis which is μ = 51 at 5% significance level? What about 10% significance level?

Test the hypothesis that $p=0$ in Exercise 11.49 against the alternative that $p \neq 0$. Use a 0.05 level of significance.
Simple Linear Regression and Correlation
Correlation
Use the normal distribution and the given sample results to complete the test of the given hypotheses. Assume the results come from a random sample and use a 5% significance level.Test H0:p=0.5 vs Ha:p>0.5 using the sample results p=0.56 with n=50 Round your answer for the test statistic to two decimal places, and your answer for the p-value to three decimal places.test statistic = p-value = Conclusion: Do not reject
