A random sample of 500 registered voters in Phoenix is
asked if they favor the use of
oxygenated fuels throughout the year to reduce pollution. If more
than 315 voters
respond positively, we conclude that at least 60% of the voters
favor the use of these
fuels.
a) Find the type I error probability if exactly 60% of the voters
favor the use of
these fuels.
b) What is the probability of error type II β if 75% of the voters
favor this action?

In a random sample of 50 voters, intended to show that more
voters are in favor of candidate A, 34 said they favor candidate
A.
(a) What is the probability that this many or more voters would
favor A is the true proportion of all eligible voters favoring A is
0.54?
(b) Is the result significant at the 0.05 level? What about the
0.01 level? Explain your answers.

Use the information below to answer questions 11-15. A random
sample of 1000 voters registered in the state of Montana showed
that 490 voted in the last general election. A random sample of 800
voters in the state of Arizona showed that 368 voted in the most
recent general election. Do these data indicate that the population
percentage of voter turnout in Arizona is lower than that in
Montana? 11. Choose the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses.

A sample of 500 male registered voters showed that 57% of them
voted in the last presidential election. Another sample of 400
female registered voters showed that 55% of them voted in the same
election.
a. Construct a 97% confidence interval for the difference
between the proportions of all male and all female registered
voters who voted in the last presidential election.
b. Test at the 1% significance level whether the proportion of
all male voters who voted in the...

Suppose that 60% of registered voters support candidate A. A
pollster will obtain a random sample of 200 registered voters. What
is the probability that at least 126 of the individuals in the
sample support A? Do not employ a continuity correction.
