Question
10% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a higher percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 302 people from the inner city surveyed, 36 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of αα = 0.05?
- For this study, we should use
- The null and alternative hypotheses would be:
Ho: (please enter a decimal)
H1: (Please enter a decimal)
- The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
- The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
- The p-value is αα
- Based on this, we should the null hypothesis.
- Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
- The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly larger than 10% at αα = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is equal to 10%.
- The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly larger than 10% at αα = 0.05, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is larger than 10%.
- The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly larger than 10% at αα = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is larger than 10%
- Interpret the p-value in the context of the study.
- There is a 13.3% chance that more than 10% of all inner city residents have sleep apnea.
- If the sample proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is 12% and if another 302 inner city residents are surveyed then there would be a 13.3% chance of concluding that more than 10% of all inner city residents have sleep apnea.
- There is a 13.3% chance of a Type I error.
- If the population proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is 10% and if another 302 inner city residents are surveyed then there would be a 13.3% chance that more than 12% of the 302 inner city residents surveyed have sleep apnea.
- Interpret the level of significance in the context of the study.
- There is a 5% chance that the proportion of all inner city residents who have sleep apnea is larger than 10%.
- There is a 5% chance that aliens have secretly taken over the earth and have cleverly disguised themselves as the presidents of each of the countries on earth.
- If the population proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is 10% and if another 302 inner city residents are surveyed then there would be a 5% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the proportion of all inner city residents who have sleep apnea is larger than 10%.
- If the population proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is larger than 10% and if another 302 inner city residents are surveyed then there would be a 5% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the proportion of all inner city residents who have sleep apnea is equal to 10%.

- In the question I am about to ask, I need help finding p-value, as I'm not sure how to test for it. On my calculator I checked, 2-SampZTest and 2-SampTTest, both giving me p=0, which I want to double check. I've already found the test statistic: 0.99. And you'll need the following variables: x1=61, x2=62, n1=100, n2= 125, p1 = 0.61, p2=0.544, p= 0.573, q=0.427 Question: In a study to estimate the proportion of residents in a certain city and its suburbs who favor the construction of a nuclear power plant, it is found that 61 of 100 urban residents favor the construction while only 68 of 125 suburban residents are in favor. Is there a significant difference between the proportions of urban and suburban residents who favor construction of the nuclear plant? Make use of a P-value. Please correct me if I've made any mistakes in this problem. Thank you.arrow_forwardA clinical psychologist is investigating the relationship between sleep and feelings ofanxiety. For a sample of 15 individuals, he asks each participant to indicate how many hours theytypically sleep each night and each participant also completes an anxiety assessment. The followingdata is obtained:Hours of sleep: M=6.0 SS=16.0Anxiety scores: M=8.0 SS=64.0SP = - 20.0 d. Conduct a hypothesis test using an alpha level of α = .01 to determine if the correlation issignificant. Include all steps.arrow_forwardSay Dr. Callahan measures her students' levels of narcissism. Her findings reveal that narcissism rates are higher in her male students versus her female students, a finding that is consistent with previous research. She also finds that the overall class average (11.5 out of 20) is lower than typical undergraduates' levels (15.5). Which of the following statements about this scenario is TRUE? She can conclude that being a SSU student is associated with lower levels of narcissism. She needs to be skeptical of her findings because she did not have a random sample. She needs to be skeptical of her findings because she did not have random assignment. She can conclude that her sample is externally valid because it replicates previous research. She can conclude that being a SSU student causes narcissism to decrease.arrow_forward
- The 2006 Statistical Abstract of the United States reports on a survey that asked a national sample of 80,000 American households about pet ownership. Suppose (for now) that one-third of all American households own a pet cat. This survey found that 32.8% of the households sampled owned a pet cat. Is this number a parameter or a statistic? Calculate the Z-score of this sample proportion (0.328).arrow_forwardDr. Luo hypothesizes that wives are happier than their husbands.

- According to the Pew Research Center, 14% of adults rate basketball as their favorite sport. Your boss believes the proportion may be lower among adults over age 65, and wants you to collect evidence to see if this is true. You take a survey of adults over age 65, and only 12 out of 120 of them rate basketball as their favorite sport. You would like to set �=0.05. Your boss tells you that your firm will base some expensive decisions on the results of your hypothesis test, so a higher standard of evidence for rejecting the null hypothesis is needed. What should you do?
