Sixty-eight percent of online courses taught at community colleges nationwide were taught by Mi-time faculty. To test If 68°o also represents California’s percent for Mi-time faculty teaching the online classes, Long Beach City College (LBCC) In California, was randomly selected for comparison. In the same year, 3.1 of the.1.1 online courses LBCC offered were taught by MI-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.

- This obstetrician also wanted to determine the impact that three experimental diets had on the birth weights of pregnant mothers. She was also interested if age had an impact on birth weights. She randomly selected 27 pregnant mothers in the first trimester of whom 9 were 20 to 29 years old, 9 were 30 to 39 years old, and 9 were 40 or older. For each age group, she randomly assigned the mothers to one of three diets. After delivery, she measured the birth weight (in grams) of the babies and obtained the data a)How many treatments are there? b)What type of design is this? How many replications are there within each cell?arrow_forwardMakers of generic drugs are required to show that their generic drugs do not differ significantly from the “reference” or brand name drugs that they imitate. One aspect in which the generic drugs might differ is their extent of absorption in the blood. Twelve subjects were available for the study. Six were randomly selected to receive the generic drug first and then, after a washout period, receive the “reference” drug. The remaining six received the “reference” drug first, followed by the generic drug after the washout period. Suppose the t test statistic is t = 1.72. What is the p-value for a two-sided test? Group of answer choices 0.05 < p-value < 0.10 0.40 < p-value < 0.50 0.20 < p-value < 0.25 0.10 < p-value < 0.20arrow_forwardMakers of generic drugs are required to show that their generic drugs do not differ significantly from the “reference” or brand name drugs that they imitate.

On the basis of this p-value, what should you conclude at α = 0.05? Group of answer choices The mean difference between the absorption rate of the reference drug and the absorption rate of the generic drug is equal to zero There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean difference between the absorption rate of the reference drug and the absorption rate of the generic drug is not equal to…arrow_forwardAmong college students, the proportion p who say they're interested in their congressional district's election results has traditionally been 65%. After a series of debates on campuses, a political scientist claims that the proportion of college students who say they're interested in their district's election results is more thar 65%. A poll is commissioned, and 196 out of a random sample of 270 college students say they're interested in their district's election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist's claim at the 0.01 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁. HD H₁ :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) ▼ (c) Find the value of the test statistic.

A local power company believes that residents in their area use more electricity on average than EIA's reported average. To test their claim, the company chooses a random sample of 128 of their customers and calculates that these customers used an average of 10,745kWh of electricity last year. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 2198kWh, is there sufficient evidence to support the power company's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forward
- An automobile dealer conducted a test to determine if the time in minutes needed to complete a minor engine tune-up depends on whether a computerized engine analyzer or an electronic analyzer is used.

Twenty farms in southwest Manitoba were used for the study. Ten farms were assigned at random to the control group (no spray) and the other 10 fields were assigned to the treatment group (spray). At the conclusion of the experiment, the number of beetle larvae per square foot was measured at each farm, and a one-tailed test of significance was performed to determine if Malathion reduced the number of beetles. In which one of the following cases would a Type II error occur? (a) We do not conclude malathion is effective when in fact it was effective. (b) We conclude malathion is effective when in fact it is ineffective. (c) We conclude malathion is effective when in fact it is effective. (d) We do not conclude malathion is effective when in fact it is ineffective. (e) We conclude malathion is neither ineffective nor effective.arrow_forward6.34 Barking deer. Microhabitat factors associated with forage and bed sites of barking deer in Hainan Island, China were examined. In this region woods make up 4.8% of the land, cultivated grass plot makes up 14.7%, and deciduous forests make up 39.6%. Of the 426 sites where the deer forage, 4 were categorized as woods, 16 as cultivated grassplot, and 61 as deciduous forests. The table below summarizes these data.39 Woods Cultivated grassplot Deciduous forests Other Total 4 16 61 345 426 (a) Write the hypotheses for testing if barking deer prefer to forage in cer- tain habitats over others.

- NIMBY. In March 2007, the Gallup Poll split a sampleof 1003 randomly selected U.S. adults into two groups atrandom. Half 1n = 5022 of the respondents were asked,“Overall, do you strongly favor, somewhat favor,somewhat oppose, or strongly oppose the useof nuclear energy as one of the ways to provideelectricity for the U.S.?”They found that 53% were either “somewhat” or “strongly”in favor. The other half 1n = 5012 were asked,“Overall, would you strongly favor, somewhat favor,somewhat oppose, or strongly oppose the constructionof a nuclear energy plant in your area as one of theways to provide electricity for the U.S.?”Only 40% were somewhat or strongly in favor. Thisdifference is an example of the NIMBY (Not In MyBackYard) phenomenon and is a serious concern topolicy makers and planners.

However, nine out of ten schools fail to meet this recommendation. A researcher wishes to conduct a study relevant to the prior information, but as a gap, he decides to include the area (in square meters) of every classroom and how it could possibly affect the resulting noise level. He selects 17 classrooms at random, and the noise levels are recorded in the next slide. a. Find the regression equation and construct the scatter plot diagram. b. Predict the noise level if a classroom has an area of 85.97 m2 . c. Calculate the coefficient of determination and interpret the findings. d.
