Suppose that 28% of all Americans have experienced times when they haven’t been able to afford sufficient food. Separately, you sample 801 Americans who are financially less well-off than average Americans and find that 38% reported that there had been times in the last year when they had not been able to afford sufficient food. Does this indicate that the problem is more severe among those American who are less well-off? Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. Make...

         A group of researchers wants to determine if Caucasians and African-Americans are equally likely to inherit cystic fibrosis (CF). They collect data on cystic fibrosis (yes/no) and calculate frequencies for each group. They collected data from 820 people overall. They observed the following frequencies: White-YesCF (80), White-NoCF (430), Black-YesCF (16), Black-NoCF (294). Use a two-variable chi-square analysis (where α = .01) to determine if there are significant differences in cystic fibrosis by race.         7.      Identify the null hypothesis        ...
