"Asian Family Reunion," by Chau Nguyen every two years it comes around. We all get together from different towns. In my honest opinion, It's not a typical family reunion. Not forty, or fifty, or sixty, But how about seventy companions! The kids would play, scream, and shout One minute they're happy, another they'll pout. The teenagers would look, stare, and compare from how they look to what they wear. The men would chat about

their business . That they make more, but never less. Money is always their subject and there's always talk of more new projects. The women get tired from all of the chats. They head to the kitchen to set out the mats. Some would sit and some would stand eating and talking with plates in their hands. Then come the games and the songs and suddenly, everyone gets along! With all that laughter, it's sad to say that it always ends in

the same old way. They hug and kiss and say "good-bye" and then they all begin to cry! I say that 60 percent shed their tears but my mom counted 35 people this year. She said

that boys and men will always have their pride, so we won't ever see them cry. I myself don't think she's correct, so could you please try this problem to see if you object?

Over the past few decades, public health officials have examined the link between weight concerns and teen girls' smoking. Researchers surveyed a group of $273$ randomly selected teen girls living in Massachusetts (between $12$ and $15$ years old). After four years the girls were surveyed again. Sixty-three said they smoked to stay thin. Is there good evidence that more than thirty percent of the teen girls smoke to stay thin?

After conducting the test, your decision and conclusion are

a. Reject $H_{0}$ : There is sufficient evidence to conclude that more than $30 %$ of teen girls smoke to stay thin.

b. Do not reject $H_{0}$ : There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that less than $30 %$ of teen girls smoke to stay thin.

c. Do not reject $H_{0}$ : There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that more than $30 %$ of teen girls smoke to stay thin.

d. Reject $H_{0}$ : There is sufficient evidence to conclude that less than $30 %$ of teen girls smoke to stay thin.

You flip a coin and record whether it shows heads or tails. You know the probability of getting heads is $50 %$ , but you

think it is less for this particular coin. What type of test would you use?

Sixty-eight percent of online courses taught at community colleges nationwide were taught by full-time faculty. To test if $68 %$ also represents California’s percent for full-time faculty teaching the online classes, Long Beach City College (LBCC) in California, was randomly selected for comparison. In the same year, $34$ of the $44$ online courses LBCC offered were taught by full-time faculty. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if $68 %$ represents California. NOTE: For more accurate results, use more California community colleges and this past year's data

The Weather Underground reported that the mean amount of summer rainfall for the northeastern US is at least 11.52 inches. Ten cities in the northeast are randomly selected and the mean rainfall amount is calculated to be 7.42 inches with a standard deviation of 1.3 inches. At the α = 0.05 level, can it be concluded that the mean rainfall was below the reported average? What if α = 0.01? Assume the amount of summer rainfall follows a normal distribution.
