In a major urban area, the percentage of male drivers between the ages of 19 and 29 who did not regularly use seatbelts was 28%.
After a major radio and television campaign and stricter enforcement by the local police, researchers want to know if the percentage of male drivers between the ages of 19 and 29 who did not regularly use seatbelts has decreased.
They poll a random sample of 100 males between the ages of 19 and 20 and find the percentage who didn't wear their seatbelt was 24%.
Identify the population, parameter, sample and statistic.

Identify the null and alternative hypothesis:
Approximately 91% of all adults in South Korea have a cell phone. In a simple random sample of 200 adults in the United States, 171 owned cell phones.
Is there convincing evidence to suggest the proportion of adults who own cell phones in the U.S. is lower than the proportion of adults who own cell phones in South Korea?

Conduct a significance test using the 4-step process.
PLAN:
What conditions need to be met before conducting the significance test?
PLAN:
Explain if the conditions are met and how you know.
DO:
What is the standardized test statistic for this significance test?
Round to two places past the decimal.
What is the p-value for this significance test?
Keep all places past the decimal.
Interpret the p-value from the previous question.
Hint: this is Lesson 8.1
What is your conclusion based on an alpha level of 0.05?
Select three correct answers.
You just calculated a 95% confidence interval for p.
Explain how this interval gives results consistent with the significance test that was just performed.
Hint: does the confidence interval support the sig. test results? If so why? If not, why?
Select three responses to answer & explain.
