5. Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones
Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall
stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making
up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal,
February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst
claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day.
A sample of 75 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that
26 went up.
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks
that went up is significantly more than 0.3. You use a

10. The US Department of Energy reported that 50% of homes
were heated by natural gas. A random sample of 349 homes in
Oregon found that 129 were heated by natural gas. Test the
claim that proportion of homes in Oregon that were heated by

hypothesis Fail to reject the null hypothesis
The correct summary would be: Select an answer There is not
enough evidence to reject the claim There is enough evidence to
support the claim There is not enough evidence to support the
