As a state parole officer, you staunchly support your state’s drug control laws. Any parolees on your caseload that test positive for any controlled dangerous substance are promptly taken into custody and set for a parole revocation hearing. Harold Running Bull, a Native American, has recently been assigned to you. His first urine sample tests positive for the presence of the hallucinogen peyote. You call the authorities to have Running Bull arrested when he reports to your office. Running Bull states that he uses peyote only as part of his religious ceremonies. Answer the following questions:

• How would you go about investigating Running Bull’s claim that his positive drug test was a result of religious peyote use?
• If Running Bull’s statement is true, is his use of peyote for religious purposes exempt from the consequences of a positive drug test under the law?
• What are the implications of this case for religious freedom?

1. Suppose it is claimed that the typical adult travels an average distance of 16 miles to get to work each day. You believe this average is too low for Columbus residents. You survey a random sample of 98adults from Columbus and find that your sample travels an average distance of 17.6 miles to work each day, with a sample standard deviation of 7.8 miles.   Use this information to conduct the appropriate hypothesis test by going through the steps you learned about from our Chapter 22 and Chapter 23 lecture videos (and from your reading of Chapters 22 and 23). Assume the alpha level is .05 (or 5%).

A. What will the hypotheses be?

Ho:

Ha:

B. Use the following formula to compute the test statistic.

C. Based on what you see in Table B, what should the p-value be?

E. In general, if we end up rejecting the null hypothesis when conducting a hypothesis test, we say our results are _________________________ significant.
