Large Sample Proportion Problem.  Surveys were conducted in multiple countries and respondents were asked if they felt political news was reported fairly. The data for the United States is that out of 1,000 sampled, 470 indicated yes, they felt political news was reported fairly. Suppose we want to determine if the proportion for the U.S. is below .50.

What is the standard error for this hypothesis test?

Group of answer choices

Cannot be determined from the information given.

SQRT((.5*.5)/1000)

SQRT((.47*.53)/1000

.4991/SQRT(1,000)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Standard error = sqrt(p(1 - p)/n)

                        = sqrt((0.5 * 0.5)/1000)

Large Sample Proportion Problem.  Surveys were conducted in multiple countries and respondents were asked if they felt political news was reported fairly. The data for the United States is that out of 1,000 sampled, 470 indicated yes, they felt political news was reported fairly. Suppose we want to determine if the proportion for the U.S. is below .50 for an alpha level of .05. What is conclusion of my test? Group of answer choices I would reject Ho: P=.5 because the...

Imagine a poll is conducted with a large, representative sample of US adults. Respondents are asked whether they think that the influence of religion in the US is changing. They respond on a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 means religion is becoming much less influential, 5 means the influence of religion is not changing, and 10 means religion is becoming much more influential. The average rating is 3.8 with a 2 point margin of error (95% confidence). The...

1. From a recent poll in which respondents were asked if they felt that U.S. nuclear weapons made them feel safer, 550 out of 1000 people said “no.” a) Find the sample proportion, ?̂, of people who responded “no”. Use the appropriate formula and show your work. b) Find the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the true population proportion of people who feel that U.S. nuclear weapons do not make them feel safer.

Large Sample Proportion Problem. A survey was conducted on high school marijuana use. Of the 2266 high school students surveyed, 970 admitted to smoking marijuana at least once.  A study done 10 years earlier estimated that 45% of the students had tried marijuana. We want to conduct a hypothesis test to see if the true proportion of high school students who tried marijuana is now less than 45%.   Use alpha = .01. What is the conclusion for this test? Based on...
