Solution

The parameter for this problem is the proportion of students at the college who are left-handed.

The null hypothesis (H0) is that the proportion of left-handed students at the college is equal to the proportion of left-handed individuals in the general American population (0.11 or 11%). The alternative hypothesis (HA) is that the proportion of left-handed students at the college is greater than 0.11.

The assumptions that need to be checked are that the sample size is large enough (n≥30) and that the population is normally distributed.

The sample proportion of left-handed students is 57/420 = 0.1357.

The test statistic is calculated using the formula z = (p̂ - p) / sqrt [ p(1 - p) / n ]. Substituting the values into the formula gives z = (0.1357 - 0.11) / sqrt [ 0.11(1 - 0.11) / 420 ].

The p-value is then obtained from the standard normal distribution table or a statistical software.

If the p-value is less than the level of significance (0.08), we reject the null hypothesis. If the p-value is greater than the level of significance, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

The conclusion is based on the decision made from the p-value. If we reject the null hypothesis, there is significant evidence to conclude that the proportion of left-handed students at the college is greater than the proportion of left-handed individuals in the general American population. If we fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is not enough evidence to support this claim.

According to previous studies, 16% of the U.S. population is left-handed. Not knowing this, a high school student claims that the percentage of left-handed people in the U.S. is 15%.The student is going to take a random sample of 2100 people in the U.S. to try to gather evidence to support the claim. Let p be the proportion of left-handed people in the sample.Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)(a)Find the mean of p.(b)Find the standard deviation of p.(c)Compute an approximation for P≥p0.15, which is the probability that there will be 15% or more left-handed people in the sample. Round your answer to four decimal places.

A hypothesis test is done in which the alternative hypothesis is that more than 10% of the population is left-handed.The p-value for the test is calculated to be 0.18Assume an 85% confidence level, Which statement is correct?

Are mathematically minded people more likely to be left-handed than those who aren't so interested in maths? In a survey of 85 randomly selected students taking second year mathematics courses, 9 are left-handed. In the general population, about 11% of people are left-handed. Does this provide evidence that second year maths students are more likely to be left-handed than would be expected based on the general population? Let π be the true proportion of people who are left-handed. Then H0: Number and Ha: Number . (Enter your numerical answers as exact values) The test statistic is z= Number . (Enter your answer correct to 3 decimal places) The test statistic comes from a N( Number , Number ) distribution if H0 is true. (Enter the exact values) The P -value is Number . (Enter your answer correct to 3 decimal places) Hence, there is evidence against H0 , that is, there is evidence that mathematically minded people are more likely to be left-handed. What assumptions did you make? Do these assumptions seem reasonable? Tick all answers that apply. The data are normal (Does not seem reasonable, from the normal quantile plot.) The sample mean is normally distributed (Seems reasonable for a sample size of 85, by the Central Limit Theorem, and since data aren't strongly skewed with big outliers.) We have a random sample. (Seems reasonable, from what we know of the study design.) The data are normal (Seems reasonable, from the normal quantile plot.) We have a random sample (Does not seem reasonable.) P^ is approximately normal (Seems reasonable, since nπ0(1−π0)>5 .)
