Hypothesis Testing About Americans Estimating Foreign Aid In Federal Budget
Question
In a simple random sample of 144 Americans, respondents were asked to estimate the share of the U.S. federal budget devoted to foreign aid. The average of the responses was 24.8%, with a standard deviation in responses of 12%. The actual share of the U.S. federal budget devoted to foreign aid is 0.8%1.
(a) Test the hypothesis that Americans, on average, correctly estimate the share of the federal budget devoted to foreign aid. Report the Z-statistic. Compare the p-value to 1%.
(b) Did you have to bootstrap the standard error? Why or why not? (Hint: think about the box model underlying this sample.)
(c) Suppose the same average were observed in a poll of 30 Americans. Would you expect the p-value to be bigger or smaller than the answer from part (A) above?2
- 1. These numbers have been modified slightly to make the arithmetic easy and round. But only slightly: this is pretty close to the discrepancy between beliefs about the U.S. foreign aid budget and the actual foreign aid budget.
- 2. You need not calculate a new Z statistic to answer this question.
Summary
The question belongs to Statistics and it discusses about testing a hypothesis that Americans can correctly estimate the share of federal budget devoted to foreign aid.

I was badly stuck with my Faraday’s law assignment and was unable to do the calculations. However, when I came across HwA they did help me a lot and from there on I hire their help for all of my science assignments.

I wanted to do a dissertation on consumer behavior but was confused on how to identify a topic and write a report. The dissertation advisors here at TheReliableTutor had an online live session with me and after understanding my requirements they came up with three suggested Research Proposal Writing topics.

When the time came to do my final year research dissertation I came across HwA who not only helped me to write the paper but also at the same time enlightened me about the process of writing a proper research paper. I understood the basic difference between an essay and a research paper, thanks to the research paper writing experts of HwA.

The management case study was based on a factory in Napier, which I am sure no US based or UK based assignment experts could have solved. I searched online for management assignment experts from New Zealand but was not being able to narrow down on one. Luckily, then I bumped into TheReliableTutor and found out that the management assignment experts are actually from New Zealand. The case study went well and so did the other management assignment solutions, for which I took help from them again.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
