Question
A genetic theory says that a cross between two pink flowering plants will produce red flowering plants 25% of the time. To test the theory, 100 crosses are made and 29 of them produce a red flowering plant. Is this strong evidence that the theory is wrong? Carry out the appropriate hypothesis test at the 5% significance level.
The appropriate hypothesis for this test is
H0: p̂ = 0.25 vs. HA: p̂ ≠ 0.25
H0: x = 0.25 vs. HA: x ≠ 0.25
H0: p = 0.25 vs. HA: p ≠ 0.25
H0: μ = 0.25 vs. HA: μ ≠ 0.25
The test statistic is (to two places after decimal)
the p-value is (to three places after decimal)
There __is/ is not____ enough statistical evidence to conclude that the theory is wrong.

- Are freshmen psychology majors just as likely to change their major before they graduate compared to freshmen business majors? 366 of the 673 freshmen psychology majors from a recent study changed their major before they graduated and 394 of the 705 freshmen business majors changed their major before they graduated. What can be concluded at the a = 0.10 level of significance? For this study, we should use z-test for the difference between two population proportions a. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: p1 p2 v (please enter a decimal) H1: p1 p2 (Please enter a decimal) b.

Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment.

To check that the random assignment did produce comparable groups, we can compare the two groups at the start of the study. Asked if there is a family history of breast cancer: 1276 of the 5964 women in the low-fat group and 1507 of the 7726 women in the control group said "Yes." If the random assignment worked well, there should not be a significant difference in the proportions with a family history of breast cancer. How significant is the observed difference? State: Is there evidence of a difference in the proportion of women with a family history of breast cancer between the treatment and control groups? Plan: Let pi be the proportion for the treatment group, and Pz the proportion for the control group. State the hypotheses for your test. Ha:Pi + P2 Solve: Give the value of the test statistic.

To consider these differences, a researcher administers a standard test of emotionality to 3 breeds of dogs (German Shepherd, Cocker Spaniel, and Chihuahua), with 4 dogs from each breed being tested.

Using the 7 steps of hypothesis testing, test the idea that there are differences in emotionality based on dog breed using α = .05 Emotionality Scores for Dogs German Shepherd Cocker Spaniel Chihuahua 6 0 10 1 4 12 7 0 9 2 0 8 T = 16 T = 4 T = 39 Gt = 59 N = 12 ∑x2 = 495 4.

- Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.arrow_forwardResearchers examine the association between the fluoridation of water and the prevention of tooth decay by comparing the prevalence of tooth decay in countries that have fluoridated water with the prevalence in countries that do not. Is this a randomized experiment or an observational study? Assume that tooth decay was seen to be less common in countries with fluoridated water. Could this result be due to confounding?arrow_forwardA graduate student believes that people consider faces with more contrast between lip color and skin tone as more feminine. She identifies the null hypothesis as: Ho: The level of contrast between lip color and skin tone does not affect how feminine a face is considered. She chooses a significance level of 0.05. After she collects the data and computes the sample statistics, it is time for her to make a decision about the null hypothesis. What are the two possible decisions that the graduate student can make? Check all that apply. There is not enough evidence to reject the hypothesis that the contrast between lip color and skin tone affects how feminine a face is considered. There is enough evidence to reject the hypothesis that the contrast between lip color and skin tone does not affect how feminine a face is considered.

- An experiment was conducted to test if 2 new anti-anxiety medications will have an effect on number of anxiety symptoms. The researcher randomly assigned participants to one of the three experimental groups. Groups 1 and 2 took the 2 new medications while Group 3 took a placebo pill. The researcher was interested in determining whether there would be a difference in the number of anxiety symptoms among the three groups. Assume an alpha level of 0.05 and a two-tailed test. What statistical test should you use to evaluate the hypothesis above? one-way independent ANOVA Pearson Product-Moment Correlation simple linear regression multiple linear regression three-way independent ANOVAarrow_forwardA dowser has correctly located water for a well 1 out of 2 times in Jones County.
