It is known that roughly 2/3 of all human beings have a dominant right foot or eye. Is there also right-sided dominance in kissing behavior? An article reported that in a random sample of 112 kissing couples, both people in 70 of the couples tended to lean more to the right than to the left. (Use α = 0.05.)

(a) If 2/3 of all kissing couples exhibit this right-leaning behavior, what is the probability that the number in a sample of 112 who do so differs from the expected value by at least as much as what was actually observed? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)


(b) Does the result of the experiment suggest that the 2/3 figure is implausible for kissing behavior?
State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: p = 2/3
Ha: p < 2/3H0: p = 2/3
Ha: p ≤ 2/3    H0: p = 2/3
Ha: p > 2/3H0: p = 2/3
Ha: p ≠ 2/3


Calculate the test statistic and determine the 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.

Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the true proportion of right-leaning behavior differs from 2/3.

Reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the true proportion of right-leaning behavior differs from 2/3.  

  Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the true proportion of right-leaning behavior differs from 2/3.

Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the true proportion of right-leaning behavior differs from 2/3.

Is it possible for corporations to have religious beliefs, or can only human beings have such beliefs? If corporations can be said to have religious beliefs, are those beliefs the same as the beliefs of the owners? What if there is not a single owner, but a number of different stockholders? What about the religious beliefs of the managers or employees—are they relevant to determining what the corporation believes?

Socrates believed that human beings have a non-material dimension to them ( the human psyche), which gives them the ability to escsape the limits of human emotion and social programming, and gives them the power to catch at least a “glimpse” of THE TRUTH. Socrates makes no “argument” that the psyche (often translated as “the soul”) exists. Later on, his most famous student, Plato, will attempt to do this. But Socrates tends to merely “assume” the existence of the human...

Foot-Length: It has been claimed that, on average, right-handed people have a left foot that is larger than the right foot. Here we test this claim on a sample of 10 right-handed adults. The table below gives the left and right foot measurements in millimeters (mm). Test the claim at the 0.05 significance level. You may assume the sample of differences comes from a normally distributed population. Person   Left Foot (x) Right Foot (y)   difference (d = x − y)  ...

Any two human beings typically have an estimated 0.1% difference in their nucleotide sequences, which is equivalent to about 3 million nucleotide differences. These differences are the basis of the SNPs used to construct genetic linkage maps and are the basis for genotyping at 23andMe and Ancestry.com. Some of these SNPs actually lie in the region of the DNA that codes for protein, yet they have no effect on the phenotype of individuals carrying the SNP on both homologous chromosomes....

For example, people have times when they are especially alert and times when they are awake but not alert, often called "daydreaming." Also, while people are asleep, they experience different stages of sleep, each characterized by different patterns of brain and bodily activity.
