Doctors are now considering prescribing social activities as a way to increase the overall health of their patients. A random sample of adult men with heart disease were prescribed two sessions a week consisting of 30 minute group discussions on lifestyle changes followed by 45 minute golf lessons. As an indicator of overall health, each subjects' grip strength was measured at the start and end of the six-week study, with higher grip strength indicating better health. Let μg represent the population mean grip strength before participating in prescribed social activities, μA represent the population mean grip strength after participating in prescribed social activities, and μ represent the population mean difference in grip strength (before-after). Which of the following would be the null and alternative hypotheses for this study? (A) Ho HB HA and H.: HB>HA (B) Ho MBA and H.: HB #HA (C) Ho Mp MB -HA and H. HD 0 and H.: μp=0 (E) Hop 0 and Ha: p<0

A study was performed to determine the percentage of people who wear life vests while out on the water. A researcher believed that the percentage was different for those who rode jet skis compared to those who were in boats. Out of 500500 randomly selected people who rode a jet ski, 85%85% wore life vests. Out of 250250 randomly selected boaters, 90.4%90.4% wore life vests. Using a 0.050.05 level of significance, test the claim that the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding a jet ski is not the same as the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding in a boat. Let jet skiers be Population 1 and let boaters be Population 2.   Step 1 of 3 :   State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.

A food-frequency questionnaire is used to measure dietary intake. The respondent specifies the number of servings of various food items they consumed over the previous week. The dietary cholesterol is then quantified for each respondent. The researchers were interested in assessing if there was an association between dietary cholesterol intake and high blood pressure. In a large sample of individuals who had completed the questionnaire, 250 persons with a high dietary cholesterol intake (greater than 300 mg /day) were selected and 250 persons with a low dietary cholesterol intake (less than 300 mg/day) were selected. The 500 selected participants had their medical history taken and were classified as having normal or high blood pressure. The data are given here. Dietary Cholesterol Blood Pressure Total High Low High 159 91 250 Low 78 172 250 Total 237 263 500 Test 2: two-tailed test for comparing two independent proportions Clearly state…

On occasion, medical studies need to model the proportion of the population that has a disease and compare that to observed frequencies of the disease actually occurring. Suppose the end-stage renal failure in south-west Wales was collected for different age groups. Do the data in the table show that the observed frequencies are in agreement with proportion of people in each age group? Test at the 1% level. Renal Failure Frequencies Age group 16-29 30-44 45-59 60-74 75+ Total Observed Frequencies 125 152 134 124 48 583 Expected Proportion 0.23 0.25 0.22 0.21 0.09   State the hypotheses.H0: The observed frequencies     in agreement with proportion of people in each age group.Ha: The observed frequencies     in agreement with proportion of people in each age group. Calculate the χ2 test statistic. Round expected values to two decimal places. Round χ2 to 3 decimal places.χ2 =  Calculate the p-value. Round to 3 decimal places.p-value =  State your decision.Since p-value     α,…

A college administrator wants to know if there is a significant difference between sexual orientation and level of family support for students at their college. The administrator takes a random sample of students who identify as gay/lesbian, bisexual or heterosexual/straight. There were 22 students sampled in each category. A measure of family support is given with higher scores indicating more family support. The means are as follows: Gay/lesbian Bisexual Heterosexual/Straight MG/L = 16 MBi = 17 MH/S = 22   Source SS df MS F Orientation 300       Error 2961       Total           What is the value of df total?

Ride services are on the rise, such as Uber and Lyft. You wondered if the recent news reports of crime occurring with these ride services impacted the usage of them, especially with women. You decide to conduct  a survey about ride service usage among male and female college students. The results showed that 19 males use ride services and 11 do not. While 12 females use ride services and 18 do not. Calculate the chi-square statistic:
