A random sample of n1 = 261 people who live in a city were selected and 77 identified as a "dog person." A random sample of n2 = 101 people who live in a rural area were selected and 52 identified as a "dog person." Find the 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of people that live in a city who identify as a "dog person" and the proportion of people that live in a rural area who identify as a "dog person."

A sample of 1000 people that live in a large city was asked if they believed that the city’s sales tax proposal was warranted. If at least two-thirds of the city’s citizens believe that the sales tax is warranted, then the mayor will take immediate steps to formally propose the tax. The survey responses showed that 692 of the 1000 people surveyed believe that the tax proposal is warranted. Write the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for the one-tailed test...

A random sample of size n1 = 16 is selected from a normal population with a mean of 74 and a standard deviation of 9. A second random sample of size n2 = 7 is taken from another normal population with mean 68 and standard deviation 11. Let X1and X2 be the two sample means. Find: (a) The probability that X1-X2 exceeds 4. (b) The probability that 4.8 ≤X1-X2≤ 5.6. Round your answers to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).

Dr. Morozov is interested in whether people who live in noisy parts of a city have worse hearing. To test this, she administers hearing tests to 6 randomly selected healthy eighteen-year-olds who have grown up in one of the noisiest parts of the city. On the hearing test, they obtain a score of M = 17, s = 3.10. This test was designed so that healthy 18-year-olds should score 20 (i.e.μ = 20, σ is unknown). Go through the hypothesis...
