141. Dentists believe that 53% of the general population suffers from tooth decay. The makers of
Toothy Grin Toothpaste believe that using their product reduces tooth decay, and in order to
support their claim study a random sample of 2000 Toothy Grin users. It turns out that 1050 of
these are suffering from tooth decay. The evidence is investigated to see whether these figures
present enough evidence to indicate a decrease in tooth decay for the Toothy Grin users. What is
the appropriate test statistic value for this test?
a. t = -0.45
b. z = -0.45
c. t = 1.12
d. z = 1.12
e. t = 1.79
Answer: B
142. Dentists believe that 53% of the general population suffers from tooth decay. The makers of
Toothy Grin Toothpaste believe that using their product reduces tooth decay, and in order to
support their claim study a random sample of 2000 Toothy Grin users. It turns out that 1085 of
these are suffering from tooth decay. The evidence is investigated to see whether these figures
present enough evidence to indicate a decrease in tooth decay for the Toothy Grin users. What is
the appropriate test statistic value for this test?
a. t = -0.45
b. z = -0.45
c. t = 1.12
d. z = 1.12
e. t = 1.79
Answer: D
143. It is suspected that, in lower class suburbs, residents replace their cars less often than the
national average. We know that nationally, the proportion of new cars is 27.1%. A researcher
investigates through proper sampling and finds that 37 out of 155 cars belonging to residents in
a lower class suburb were new. We wish to test whether the proportion of new cars in this lower

class suburb is less than the national average. What is the calculated test statistic for the
hypothesis test indicated above?
a. 0.905
b. –0.07
c. 0.07
d. –0.905
e. 2.510
Answer: D
144. A major videocassette rental chain is considering opening a new store in an area that
currently does not have any such stores. The chain will open if there is evidence that more than
25% of households in the area are equipped with videocassette recorders (VCR’s). It conducts a
telephone poll of 300 randomly selected households in the area and finds that 96 have VCR’s. A
hypothesis test is conducted to establish whether the proportion of households in the area
equipped with VCR’s is more than 25%. What is the test statistic value for this hypothesis test?
a. t = 2.80
b. z = 2.80
c. t = -2.80
d. z = -2.80
e. t = -1.40
Answer: B
145. A random sample of 200 observations exhibits 36 successes. We wish to test at the 1%
significance level whether the true proportion of successes in the population is less than 24%.
What is the test statistic value for this hypothesis test?
a. t = 1.99
b. t = -1.99
c. z = 1.99
d. z = -1.99
e. z = 0.99
Answer: D
146. Scientists think that robots will play a crucial role in factories in the next 20 years. Suppose
that in an experiment to determine whether the use of robots to weave computer cables is

feasible, a robot was used to assemble 500 cables. The cables were examined and there were 14
defectives. Human assemblers have a defect rate of 3% (0.03). We wish to test whether the
proportion of defectives produced by robots is less than that of humans. What is the value of the
test statistic for this hypothesis test?
a. t = -0.26
b. z = -0.26
c. t = 2.60
d. z = 0.26
e. t = 0.26
Answer: B
147. In a random sample of 400 electrical components, 88 are found to be defective. You wish to
test the null hypothesis that the population proportion of defective components is 20% versus
the alternative hypothesis that the population proportion is not 20%. You choose a significance
level of 5%. What is your statistical decision in this case?
a. Reject Ho at the 5% significance level
b. Do not reject Ho at the 5% significance level
c. Decision cannot be made at a 5% significance level
d. Decision cannot be made because sample size is large
e. More information is needed in order to be able to complete the hypothesis test

152. It is claimed that 2% of the population in a specific village suffer from a certain rare eye
disorder. However, the doctor in the village believes that the true proportion of sufferers is
actually more than 2%. He randomly tests 500 people from the village and finds that 12 of them
have the eye disorder. If he were to conduct a hypothesis test to test whether the true mean
proportion of sufferers is equal to or more than 2%, what would the p-value of the test be?
a. 0.261
b. 0.005
c. 0.626
d. 0.027

157. A random sample of 319 front-seat occupants involved in head-on collisions in a certain
region resulted in 95 who sustained no injuries. We wish to use this sample data to test whether
the true proportion of uninjured occupants in head-on collisions exceeds 0.25 or not. What
would your conclusion be for this test of hypothesis, given a 5% significance level?
a. I would conclude that the true proportion of uninjured occupants in head-on collisions has
increased
b. I would conclude that the true proportion of uninjured occupants in head-on collisions has
decreased
c. I would conclude that the true proportion of uninjured occupants in head-on collisions has
remained at 0.25

d. I would conclude that the there is too little information to make a correct decision
e. I would conclude that the sample size in this case is too small and therefore the results of the
test cannot be trusted
