In 2010, 76.3% of college students enrolled in an education major were female. A sample of students enrolled in an education major in 2019 consisted of 115 females and 70 males.

Would this data be sufficient at the 0.01 level of significance to conclude that the percentage of females enrolled in an education major decreased from the 76.3%?

Use the P-Value Method of Testing.

In your work space below, you will need to have -
1. The null hypothesis, Ho
2. The alternative hypothesis, H1
3. The test statistic
4. The type of test(left, right, two-tailed) and the p-value
5. The decision to accept Ho or reject Ho

In​ 2010, a survey of 2000 homes in a region found that 500 had overestimated market values. Suppose you want to estimate​ p, the true proportion of homes in this region with market values that are overestimated.

The point estimate is 0.25

1) Find a 90​% confidence interval for p.

2) Give a practical interpretation of the confidence​ interval

3) Suppose a researcher claims that p equals= 0.18. Is the claim​ believable? Explain.

One of the main goals of the ACA (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, aka Obamacare) was to provide affordable health care to the uninsured.
1. What were the THREE primary pieces of the law that were meant to provide coverage for everyone (other than undocumented immigrants, who were not going to be covered)?
2. Which of these three pieces was not able to be fully enacted because of a Supreme Court case in 2012 (ruled unconstitutional) and what happened to coverage for the targeted group?

The number of cell phone subscribers in the United States between the years 2000 and 2010 is approximated by the function N(t) = 385.474 1 + 2.521e−0.214t (0 ≤ t ≤ 10) where N(t) is measured in millions and t is measured in years, with t = 0 corresponding to the year 2000.† How many cell phone subscribers were there in the United States in 2000? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) million subscribers.

If the trend continued, how many subscribers were there in 2011? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) million subscribers

Following are the ages of the winners of men’s Wimbledon tennis championship from 1968 to 2010.

1. Construct a frequency distribution table. Begin with a lower class limit of 17 and use a class width of 3.
2. Explain the lower class limit, upper class limit, class boundaries, class midpoint and class width using the information in your first row of your frequency distribution table.
3. Draw a histogram.
4. Describe the shape of the histogram.
5. Discuss the skewness in the distribution.

Click here for the Excel Data File a. Calculate the sample correlation coefficient rxy. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Specify the competing hypotheses in order to determine whether the population correlation coefficient is different from zero. H0: ρxy ≤ 0; HA: ρxy > 0 H0: ρxy = 0; HA: ρxy ≠ 0 H0: ρxy ≥ 0; HA: ρxy < 0 c-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.) c-2. Find the p-value. p-value < 0.01 0.01 ≤ p-value < 0.02 0.02 ≤ p-value < 0.05 0.05 ≤ p-value < 0.10 p-value ≥ 0.10 c-3. At the 5% significance level, what is the conclusion to the test? Reject H0; there is enough evidence to state the returns are correlated. Reject H0; there is not enough evidence to state the returns are correlated. Do not reject H0; there is enough evidence to state the returns are correlated. Do not reject H0; there is not enough evidence to state the returns are correlated.

The freezing cold spell at the beginning of 2010 not only increased demand for road salt, but it increased demand for gas in the UK. Usage reached 454 cubic meters; the previous record was 449m set in January 2003. The National Grid which is responsible for energy in the UK issued several warnings in a matter of days that demand could outstrip supply and asked supplier so increase the supply. The National Grid also told major gas users, such as power plants, to reduce demand.

Big generators, such as E.On, have both gas-fired and coal-fired power stations and are able to choose between the two. In total, 27 large gas users were asked to switch - 12 in the East Midlands and 15 in the North West.

Analyze and answer the following questions:

1. Illustrate the effect of the cold spell on the demand for gas using a demand curve diagram.
2. Illustrate the effect of the National Grid instructing major gas users to reduce their demand.
3. Analyze two other factors that you think influence demand for gas.
4. Do you think demand for gas is price elastic or price inelastic? Explain your reasoning.
