The polling organization Ipsos conducted telephone surveys in March of 2004, 2005 and 2006. In each year, 1001 people age 18 or older were asked about whether they planned to use a credit card to pay federal income taxes that year. The data are given in the accompanying table. Is there evidence that the proportion falling in the three credit card response categories is not the same for all three years? Test the relevant hypotheses using a .05 significance level. (Use 2 decimal places.)

χ² =  
P-value interval

p < 0.0010.001 ≤ p < 0.01    0.01 ≤ p < 0.050.05 ≤ p < 0.10p ≥ 0.10

1.Conduct an analysis and hypothesis test of your choice on the data you collected. Write a 250-500 word research summary of the findings generated in the assignments for Topics 2 through 5. The research summary should address the following.

a. Explain what type of analysis and hypothesis test was conducted on the data collected.

b. Summarize the survey results based on the results of the data you analyzed.

c. Include the Excel analysis as part of the document.

Data available below: Time stamp 1.  If given the opportunity to work from home would you? Yes/No/Maybe

2. Do you consider working from home more of a employee convenience or employer benefit?

3. Who benefits more from the "Work from Home" opportunity?

Provide an example of where you could use correlation in real life. Explain why a t-test is necessary before you accept this correlation as being real in the population.

"Please give extreme step by step actions on how to explain this, so that I can understand to explain to class".

What is the purpose of Reverse testing? (select all that apply)

how do we interpret how typical a score is compare to the population based on the population mean and standard deviation

You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.005α=0.005.

Ho:μ1=μ2Ho:μ1=μ2
Ha:μ1<μ2Ha:μ1<μ2

You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either. And you have no reason to believe the variances of the two populations are equal You obtain a sample of size n1=10n1=10 with a mean of ¯x1=70.4x¯1=70.4 and a standard deviation of s1=5.5s1=5.5 from the first population. You obtain a sample of size n2=13n2=13 with a mean of ¯x2=91x¯2=91 and a standard deviation of s2=19.1s2=19.1 from the second population.

1. What is the test statistic for this sample?
   
   test statistic =  Round to 3 decimal places.
   
2. What is the p-value for this sample? For this calculation, use .
   
   p-value =  Use Technology Round to 4 decimal places.
   
3. The p-value is...

   • greater than αα
   
   
4. This test statistic leads to a decision to...
   • reject the null
   • accept the null
   • fail to reject the null
   
   
5. As such, the final conclusion is that...
   • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the first population mean is less than the second population mean.
   • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the first population mean is less than the second population mean.
   • The sample data support the claim that the first population mean is less than the second population mean.
   • There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the first population mean is less than the second population mean.

You wish to test the claim that the first population mean is not equal to the second population mean at a significance level of α=0.005α=0.005.

A psychologist specializing in marriage counseling claims that, among all married couples, the proportion p for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is at least 77%. In a random sample of 240 married couples who completed her program, 176 of them stayed together. Based on this sample, can we reject the psychologist's claim at the 0.05 level of significance?Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table below.Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

A scientific study on speed limits gives the following data table.

Using technology, it was determined that the total sum of squares (SST) was 4029.2, the sum of squares regression (SSR) was 3968.4, and the sum of squares due to error (SSE) was 60.835. Calculate R2 and determine its meaning. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Select the correct answer below:

R2=0.0153

Therefore, 1.53% of the variation in the observed y-values can be explained by the estimated regression equation.

R2=0.9849

Therefore, 98.49% of the variation in the observed y-values can be explained by the estimated regression equation.

R2=0.0151

Therefore, 1.51% of the variation in the observed y-values can be explained by the estimated regression equation.

R2=1.0153

Therefore, 10.153% of the variation in the observed y-values can be explained by the estimated regression equation.
