3. In a survey, 1200 adult Americans were asked, "Are you a
total abstainer from, or do you on occasion consume, alcoholic
beverages?" Of the 1200 adults surveyed, 470 indicated that they
were total abstainers. In a recent survey, the same question was
asked of 1200 adult Americans and 400 indicated that they were
total abstainers. Has the proportion of adult Americans who totally
abstain from alcohol changed? Use the α=0.1 level of
significance.

on a scale of 1-5. From the following data, help the researcher
determine whether any significant differences exist in opinions
among individuals from two different regions. (Note: Assume a
significance level of 0.05 and assume that the population standard
deviation is unknown). Show your work.

Students in a school were asked to participate in a study of the
effects of a new teaching method on reading skills of 10th graders.
To determine the effectiveness of the new method, a reading test
was given to each student before applying the new method
(pre-test). Another test was given to the same students after
applying the new method (post-test). Experts consider that a good
measure of improvement is given by the following formula:
Improvement=20(Post-test score)- 10(Pre-test score). That...
