confidence interval(1) for the population mean (4.6792, 4.8985), and so
you can reject the null hypothesis.

A county district attorney would like to run for the office of state
district attorney. She has decided that she will give up her county office
and run for state office if more than 65% of her party constituents support
her. You need to test H0: p = .65 versus H1: p > .65 . As her campaign
manager, you collected data on 950 randomly selected party members
and find that 560 party members support the candidate. A test of
proportion was performed to determine whether or not the proportion of
supporters was greater than the required proportion of 0.65. In addition, a
95% confidence bound was constructed to determine the lower bound for
the proportion of supporters.

the null hypothesis that the population proportions are equal. In other
words, the proportion of photocopy machines that needed service in the
first year did not differ depending on brand. As the purchasing manager,
you need to find a different criterion to guide your decision on which
brand to purchase. Because the normal approximation is valid, you can
draw the same conclusion from the 95% confidence interval(1). Because
zero falls in the confidence interval of (-0.0957903 to 0.175790) you can
conclude that the data are consistent with the null hypothesis. If you think
that the confidence interval is too wide and does not provide precise
information as to the value of p1 - p2, you may want to collect more data
in order to obtain a better estimate of the difference.
9. Example of 1 Variance
You are a quality control inspector at a factory that builds high
precision parts for aircraft engines, including a metal pin that must
measure 15 inches in length. Safety laws dictate that the variance of the
pins' length must not exceed 0.001in 2. Previous analyses determined that
pin length is normally distributed. You collect a sample of 100 pins and
measure their length in order to conduct a hypothesis test(6) and create a
confidence interval(1) for the population variance.

the null hypothesis(6) of the variances being equal. That is, these data do
not provide enough evidence to claim that the two populations have
unequal variances. Thus, it is reasonable to assume equal variances when
using a two-sample t-procedure.
11.Example of Correlation
We have verbal and math SAT scores and first-year college gradepoint averages for 200 students and we wish to investigate the
relatedness of these variables. We use correlation with the default choice
for displaying p-values.
