Consider the following two questions designed to assess quantitative literacy.

  1. What is 15% of 1000?
  2. A store is offering a 15% off sale on all TVs. The most popular television is normally priced at $1000. How much money would a customer save on the television during this sale?

Suppose the first question is asked of 200 randomly selected college students, with 168 answering correctly; the second one is asked of a different random sample of 200 college students, resulting in 147 correct responses. Carry out a test of hypotheses at significance level 0.05 to decide if the true proportion of correct responses to the question without context exceeds that for the one with context. (Use p1 for the true proportion students who answered the question without context correctly and p2 for the true proportion of students who answered the question with context correctly.)

State the relevant hypotheses.

H0: p1p2 = 0
Ha: p1p2 < 0H0: p1p2 = 0
Ha: p1p2 ≠ 0    H0: p1p2 = 0
Ha: p1p2 > 0H0: p1p2 < 0
Ha: p1p2 = 0H0: p1p2 > 0
Ha: p1p2 = 0

Calculate the test statistic and P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)

z=P-value=

State the conclusion in the problem context.

Fail to reject H0. The data does not suggest that the true proportion of correct answers to the context-free question is higher than the proportion of right answers to the contextual one.Reject H0.

A clinical study is designed to assess differences in albumin levels in adults following diets with different amounts of protein. Low protein diets are often prescribed for patients with kidney failure. Albumin is the most abundant protein in blood, and its concentration in the serum is measured in grams per deciliter (g/dL). Clinically, serum albumin concentrations are also used to assess whether patients get sufficient protein in their diets. Three diets are compared, ranging from 5% to 15% protein, and...
