A political scientist is studying the impact of a political debate between candidates for governor in small western states. The scientist wants to evaluate the proportion of registered voters who switch their preference after viewing the debate. The following table contain the data from 75 registered voters. PreferenceBefore Debate PreferenceAfter Debate Total(Before Debate) Candidate A  Candidate B Candidate A  30 11 41 Candidate B 4 30 34 Total(After Debate) 34 41 75 At alpha=0.05 do we have enough evidence to conclude that lower proportion of people like candidate A after the debate compared to the proportion of people who liked candidate A before the debate.

In a campus volunteer group, adults 21 and older volunteer from one to nine hours each week to spend time with a disabled senior citizen. The program recruits among students, faculty, and staff of the university. The table below is a sample of the adult volunteers and the number of hours they volunteer per week.

Employers want to know which days of the week employees have the highest num- ber of absences in a five-day work week. Most employers would like to believe that employees are absent equally during the week. Suppose a random sample of 60 managers are asked on which day of the week they had the highest number of employee absences. The results are recorded in the table below.  Day of the week Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Observed Frequency 15 11 10 9 15 At the 5% significance level, do we have enough evidence to suggest that the day of the week with the highest number of absences occur with equal frequency during a five-day work week.
