200
adults in that country,
80%
think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated. At
α=0.05,
is there enough evidence to support the researcher's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) below.(a) Identify the claim and state
H0
and
Ha.

A researcher suspects that a higher percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 349 people from the inner city surveyed, 45 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of αα = 0.05? Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly larger than 12% 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 12%. or The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly larger than 12% 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 12%. or The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly larger than 12% at αα = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of inner city…arrow_forwardA report by the Gallup Poll found that a woman visits her doctor, on average, at most 5.8 times each year.

Using α = .05, run a two-tail t-test for one sample to test Ho: µ=283 for the 2019 scores. Report the t-obt, df, and p-values. Would you reject the null hypothesis that the 2019 scores come from a population with average 283?

- A researcher claims that 89% of people sleep with a pillow. In a random sample of 1000 people, 825 say that they sleep with a pillow. At α = 0.10, is there enough evidence to reject the researcher’s claim?arrow_forwardResearchers conducted an experiment in which people with a certain condition were given either a drug or a placebo to treat the condition. At the significance level of α=0.01α=0.01, a test of the following hypotheses was conducted. H0:pD=pPHa:pD>pPH0:pD=pPHa:pD>pP In the hypotheses, pDpD represents the proportion of all people who experience an allergic reaction while taking the drug, and pPpP represents the proportion of all people who experience an allergic reaction while taking the placebo. All conditions for inference were met, and the resulting pp-value was 0.12. Which of the following is the correct decision for the test? The pp-value is less than αα, and the null hypothesis is rejected. There is convincing evidence to support the claim that the proportion of people with an allergic reaction will be greater for those taking the drug than for those taking the placebo.
