A statistician wishes to compare the batting speed of wooden bats versus composite bats. A sample of college baseball players is selected at random. Each player chooses which type of bat they wish to use – wooden or composite. The batting speed of each player is recorded in mph. Use the summarized data below to determine if there is a difference in batting speeds at the 0.05 significance level. Bat Type n mean standard deviation wooden 26 67.45 4.41 composite 32 68.93 3.87   State the hypotheses for this test.H0: [a1]Ha: [a2] State the decision rule.[dr] Determine the test statistic.[ts] Determine the p-value.[p] What conclusion should be made?At the 0.05 level, there [e1] significant evidence to claim there is a difference in the [e2] of wooden and composite bats.

In a survey of 1,096 Americans conducted about a week into the U.S. government shutdown, individuals were asked if they agreed or disagree with the statement, “The shutdown of the federal government has impacted people in my community.” The political party of each person was also recorded. The results are summarized in the two-way table below. Expected counts are in parentheses next to observed counts. Political Party Agree Disagree Unsure/No Response Total Democrats 274 (180.12) 56 (112.94) 68 (104.95) 398 Republicans 106 (47.97) 173 (111.52) 114 (103.63) 393 Independents 116 (138.03) 82 (86.55) 107 (80.42) 305 Total 496 311 289 1096   The percentage of Democrats that agreed is [a1]. The percentage of Republicans that agreed is [a2]. The percentage of Independents that agreed is [a3].If there is no relationship between the variables, we expect the percentages above to be [a4].
