Cell Phone Claim: Fewer than 95% of adults have a cell phone. In a Marist poll of 1128 adults, 87% said that they have a cell phone.
BMI for Miss America. A claimed trend of thinner Miss America winners has generated charges that the contest encourages unhealthy diet habits among young women. Listed below are body mass indexes (BMI) for recent Miss America winners. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that recent winners are from a population with a mean BMI less than 20.16, which was the BMI for winners from the 1920s and 1930s. Given that BMI is a measure of the relative amounts of body fat and height, do recent winners appear to be significantly smaller than those from the 1920s and 1930s?

Technology. In Exercises 9鈥�12, test the given claim by using the display provided from technology. Use a 0.05 significance level. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
Old Faithful Data Set 23 鈥淥ld Faithful鈥� in Appendix B includes data from 250 random eruptions of the Old Faithful geyser. The National Park Service makes predictions of times to the next eruption, and the data set includes the errors (minutes) in those predictions. The accompanying Statdisk display results from using the prediction errors (minutes) to test the claim that the mean prediction error is equal to zero. Comment on the accuracy of the predictions.
Critical Values. In Exercises 21鈥�24, refer to the information in the given exercise and do the following.
a. Find the critical value(s).
b. Using a significance level of = 0.05, should we reject or should we fail to reject ?
