Use the following information to answer questions 1-6.

The international Symposium on Human Psyche published a report stating that 75% of all adults believe that it is important to be involved in their communities. You and your colleagues conducted a small-scale survey, polling 1025 randomly selected adults, and found that 91% believe that it is important to be involved in their community. Assume that the data has a binomial distribution and meets the criteria to be approximated by a normal distribution. Use a significance level of α = 0.05 to test the claim that the population proportion is not 75%.

Q1. What would be the recorded number of adults from your sample that responded that they believe it is important to be involved in their communities?

A) 933

B) 1025

C) 91

D) None of These

Q2. State the hypotheses:

A) H₀ : p = 0.75, H₁ : p ≠ .75)

B) H₀ : μ = 0.75, H₁ : ≠μ ≠ .75

D) None of These

Q3. What "tail type" is this test?

A) Upper Tail

B) Two-Tailed

C) Lower Tail

D) None of These

Q4. You conduct a critical value test. What is your critical value?

A) z = 1.96

B) z = 11.848

C) z = 0.95

D) None of These

Q5. What is your test statistic?

A) z = 0.910

B) z = 1 1.848

C) z = 1

D) None of These

Q6. Draw a picture of the normal curve, identifying the location and numerical value of the Critical Value, the Critical (Rejection) Region(s), and the Test Statistic.

Use the following information for questions 7-11.

Given below are recorded weights, in pounds, of 18 randomly selected Sitka Elephant Seals.

805	903	809	916	615	924	825	940	650
635	940	540	598	988	993	899	936	937

Q7. What type of data are the values listed above?

A) Categorical

B) Qualitative

C) Numerical

D) None of These

Input the seal weight data as a list into your calculator.

The sum of your data, ∑x, should be 14853.

Minimum:

First Quartile:

Second Quartile (Median):

Third Quartile:

C) 825.17

D) None of These

Use the following information to answer question 12.

In a 2016 Artful Dodger Survey, 565 randomly selected California college students were asked if they felt that U.S. relations with Britain were improving. 214 people responded "yes." The data collected has a binomial distribution.

Dominque has a dog treat jar that contains two flavors of treats for her dog Zeus. In the jar are 14 cheese-flavored treats and 5 basil-flavored treats. Dominique selects one treat out of the jar at random and gives it to Zeus. Zeus eats the treat and begs for another. Dominque selects a second treat at random and feeds it to Zeus. Zeus eats the second treat too.

B) Foil to Reject H₀

C) Neither of these

Q18. State your conclusion.

A) There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that left-handedness is independent of the coast on which a person is born.

B) There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that left-handedness is independent of the coast on which a person is born.

C) Neither of these.

Use the following information to answer questions 19-23.

4 groups of sapling cinnamon trees were grown in dry woodland using different irrigation techniques and their weights recorded. Each group consisted of 5 equal age trees.

Group	Treatment Type
1	No Treatment
2	Water Only When Tree Appears Stressed from lack of Water
3	Twice a Month Deep Soaks
4	Daily Watering

Recorded Weights:

Group 1	Group 2	Group 3	Group 4
0.24	0.92	0.96	1.07
1.69	0.07	1.43	1.63
1.23	0.56	1.26	1.39
0.99	1.74	1.57	0.49
1.8	1.13	0.72	0.95

Check to see if you entered the data correctly:

Group	∑x
1	5.95
2	4.42
3	5.94
4	5.53

Use a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to test the clean that the four treatment groups yield trees with the same mean weight. Use a significance level of 0.05
