An ABC News poll in April 2007 of a random sample of 1002 adults nationwide asked about various measures the government could take to try to reduce future global warming (www.pollingreport.com/enviro.htm). When asked whether the government should increase taxes on gasoline so people either drive less or buy cars that use less gas, 681 people said no. Test, at the 0.01 level of significance, the claim that the majority (more than 50%) of U.S. adults believe that the government should not increase taxes on gasoline to help reduce future global warming.Are the results of the test statistically significant?

According to 2021 Gallup poll, 37% of adult Americans consider themselves to be “moderate”. Cincinnati State students taking MAT 131 were asked to disclose their political philosophy and the results are located in the variable IDEOLOGY. For a certain semester, 73 students reported themselves to be “moderate” out of 182 students who were asked the question. Treat the results of the survey as a random sample of all Cincinnati State students who will take MAT 131. Do the results suggest the proportion of Cincinnati State students taking MAT 131 who consider themselves to be “moderate” is different than that reported by Gallup? Use an alpha level of 0.01.State the value of the test statistic. Round to two decimal places.

This following is the print out for the variable, DISTANCE_2, from the MAT 131 Student Survey. This variable was the responses for the question, “What is the distance (in miles) from your home to the College?”. Assume that the sample is representative of all students taking Statistics 1 at Cincinnati State. 95% confidence interval results: Variable Sample Mean Std. Err. DF L. Limit U. Limit DISTANCE_2 13.872011 0.82889538 183 12.23659 15.507431 Interpret the confidence interval reported in context.

Gasoline pumped from a supplier’s pipeline is supposed to have an octane rating of 87.5. For 13 consecutive days, a liter of gas from the pipeline was obtained and analyzed. The resulting octane readings for these 13 days are given below:88.6     86.4     87.2     88.4     87.2     87.6     86.8     86.1     87.4     87.3     86.4     86.6     87.1Here is the data set in StatCrunch. The supplier wants to test the claim that the octane reading from the pipeline has a true mean that is less than 87.5 at the 5% level of significance.The sample size is less than 30, so we must check that this sample comes from a population that is normally distributed. Explain how we can check this requirement.

Which of the following best describes how Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) contributes to protein separation during SDS-PAGE?

One of the main goals in statistics is to describe a distribution without examining each individual value. This description is done by depicting the distribution’s shape, center, and spread.  The following distribution is a random sample of Cincinnati State students’ heights (in inches) taken from the MAT 131 Student Survey: 59, 69, 63, 65, 70, 64, 65, 69, 63, 64, 63, 66, 67, 60, 64, 69, 60, 63, 66, 65, 59, 60, 70, 66 Here is the data set on StatCrunch. Describe the spread for this distribution.  Round to one decimal place.

Using question 3, can you state that the minority (less than 50%) of students at Cincinnati State taking Statistics 1 are smokers? Explain.
