7.  Time magazine reported in a 2004 survey of 507 randomly selected adult American Catholics, that 279 answered yes to the question “Do you favor allowing women to be priests?”  Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine if this data (279 out of 507) shows that the population proportion of adult American Catholics who favor allowing women to be priests is more than 0.50. (While answering the following sub-parts of this question, you will be including the null and alternative hypothesis, the test statistic, the p-value (a visualization and an interpretation), your statistical decision, and your conclusion in the context of the problem.) (b)  What is the value of the test statistic in Step 2 of the hypothesis test?

9.  Do students sleep more in Pennsylvania or in California? A study was designed to estimate the difference in the number of hours students sleep per night and the summary statistics for the following two universities is given below: Penn State University:       n=190       sample mean = 7.17       s = 1.95 University of California, Davis:       n=173       sample mean = 6.83       s = 1.71 Does the data show that the mean number of hours that Penn State University students sleep per night is significantly different from the mean number of hours that University of California, Davis students sleep per night?  (While answering the following sub-parts of this question, you will be including the null and alternative hypothesis, the test statistic, the p-value (a visualization and an interpretation), your statistical decision, and your conclusion in the context of the problem.)
