Question 12:

Raquel is running for mayor in her local city election. In order to win, she must earn over 50% of the votes. So, Raquel decides to hire a couple of Statistics students to help her measure the progress in her campaign through polling. She is hoping to find sufficient evidence (?=0.05?=0.05)from the sample that she will in fact win the election with more than 50% of the vote. The Statistics students test the following hypotheses, where pp represents the proportion of all voters who will vote for Raquel. H0:p=0.5 HA:p>0.5 Which of the following statements would be true if a Type I error is made? (Select all that apply.)

1. Raquel ends up winning the election.

2. The students find a p-value less than 0.05

3. The sample data collected by the students that Raquel does not have more than 50% of the vote.

4. The students find a p-value greater than 0.05

5. The sample data collected by the students suggest that Raquel will have more than 50% of the vote.

Question 13:

Mike claims that his company's automated paste filling machine will fill tubes of toothpaste with 7 ounces of toothpaste.

The sample appeared to have a left skew, and an average of 6.94 ounces.

Question 1:

Insurance companies track life expectancy information to assist in determining the cost of life insurance policies. The insurance company knows that, last year, the life expectancy of its policyholders was 77 years. They want to know if their clients this year have a longer life expectancy, on average, so the company randomly samples some of the recently paid policies to see if the mean life expectancy of policyholders has increased. The insurance company will only change their premium structure if there is evidence that people who buy their policies are living longer than before.
