1. What are the key terms in a verbal hypothesis that signify whether you are conducting a one–tailed or two-tailed test? When would you use a two population test with a large sample size at your place of employment, in your education, or in politics? Could gender be used as a variable in the creation of a test of two populations? Why or why not? When would you use a two population test with a small sample size at your place of employment, in your education, or in politics?
2. What constitutes a small sample size in a test of two populations? When testing two populations with small sample sizes, do both sample sizes have to be identical? Why or why not?
3. What are the differences among a proportion, a percentage, and a ratio? When would you use a hypothesis test for the difference in two population proportions at your place of employment, in your education, or in politics? How does a non-parametric business scenario differ from a parametric business scenario?

1. What are the key terms in a verbal hypothesis that signify whether you are conducting a one–tailed or two-tailed test?
Two-tailed if you are testing "equal to" or "not equal to"
One-tailed if you are testing "greater than" or "less than"
-----------------
When would you use a two population test with a large sample size at your place of employment, in your education, or in politics?
This is a personal question.
----------------
Could gender be used as a variable in the creation of a test of two populations? Why or why not?
Sure, to test voter reaction to an issue affecting equal treatment
of the sexes in employment, education, athletic facility funding, etc.
--------------
When would you use a two population test with a small sample size at your place of employment, in your education, or in politics?
Personal question.

2. What constitutes a small sample size in a test of two populations? When testing two populations with small sample sizes, do both sample sizes have to be identical? Why or why not?
Small is less than 10% of the population.
The two sample sizes do not have to be identical if you are
estimating the difference of population means or of population
proportions.

3. What are the differences among a proportion, a percentage, and a ratio?
These words can mean the same in the statement of a problem.
--------
When would you use a hypothesis test for the difference in two population proportions at your place of employment, in your education, or in politics?
Personal question.
-------------
How does a non-parametric business scenario differ from a parametric business scenario?
non-parametric is binomial---data is either or.
parametric can be continuous such as the mean price of commodities.
