I would like to test a hypothesis that the percentage of people who consider themselves as conservatives today is lower than it was 20 years ago. Conveniently enough, my old professor has data from 20 years ago when he conducted a similar survey. The number of people 20 years ago who identified as conservative in his survey was 314 out of 612 total. I conduct a survey today and find that out of the 415 people i surveyed, 198 considered themselves to be conservative. If i wish to present my findings with a level of significance of .05, what conclusion would i draw?
options:
based on the data, there's evidence of a decrease in those who identify as conservative.
based on the data, there's no evidence of a decrease in those who identify as conservative.
based on the data, there's evidence of an increase in those who identify as conservative.
based on the data, there's no evidence of an increase in those who identify as conservative.

A researcher would like to test whether or not people who have
stocked up on a year’s supply of toilet paper are experiencing less
stress during a statewide stay-at-home order. A statewide poll
indicates that the average stress level for the general state
population is 60.5 (with a standard deviation of 11.6) and is
normally distributed. Using a random sample of 36 toilet paper
hoarders that have a mean stress level of 54.7 (and a standard
deviation of 10.3), test...

An insurance company would like to test the hypothesis that a
difference exists in the proportion of students in 12th grade who
text while driving when compared to the proportion of 11th
grade drivers who text. A random sample of 160 12th grade
students found that 84 texted while driving. A random sample of
17511th grade students found that 70 texted while driving. Assume
Population 1 is defined as 12th grade drivers and Population 2 is

The Canadian government would like to test the hypothesis that
the standard deviation for the hourly wage for men is equal to the
standard deviation for the hourly wage for women. The sample size
for men is 11 with sample standard deviation 2.25 and the sample
size for women is 9 with standard deviation 3.75. Assume that
hourly wages are normally distributed.

The Department of Education would like to test the hypothesis
that the average debt load of graduating students with a bachelor's
degree is equal to $17,000. A random sample of 34 students had an
average debt load of $18,200. It is believed that the population
standard deviation for student debt load is $4,200. The α is set to
0.05. (a) Perform a hypothesis test showing all steps. Find 95%
confidence interval for the population average debt. Confirm that
