The ones in bold print are the answers for those questions, looking for help with #'s 3,5,6,7,8,9,10
1)Develop a question of interest to you that requires a yes or no answer. For example,
"Do you own a pair of purple socks?'
"Have you ever taken, and passed, a statistics course?"
Do you own a dog?
2) Select a population from which you will sample to perform a hypothesis test related to your question. Describe the members of this population.
The population will be 25-30-year-old males and females
3) Make a hypothesis about the proportion of yes responses that you expect to find. I suggest that you make the hypothesis that the proportion is less than 50%, or that the proportion is greater than 50%.
4) Ask a sample of at least 40 people the question and record their responses. Comment on the method that you used to collect the sample.
While at work I randomly asked 40 coworkers, male and female if they own a dog, 18 of them said yes
5) Perform a hypothesis test to determine if p is significantly higher or lower than 50%. You may choose your own significance level for the test.
6) Comment on the significance of your conclusion as it relates to the question you asked.
7)Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of "yes" responses.
8Comment on the meaning of the interval you found.
9) Describe what you learned about your population and question as well as what you learned about statistics by completing this project.
10) Suggest ideas for further study of the question that you asked and how you might have done things differently.
