A poll was taken this year asking college students if they considered themselves overweight. A similar poll was taken 5 years ago. Five years ago, a sample of 270 students showed that 120 considered themselves overweight. This year a poll of 300 students showed that 140 considered themselves overweight. At a 5% level of significance, test to see if there is any difference in the proportion of college students who consider themselves overweight between the two polls. What is your conclusion?

One personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. After taking the test and seeing your score for this subsection, you're interested in the mean score,  μ , among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that  μ  is  148 , but you believe that  μ  is greater than  148 . You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is  152  and that the standard deviation of their scores is  28 . Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis ( H0 ) and the alternative hypothesis ( H1 ) that should be used for the test? H0 :  μ  is   H1 :  μ  is  In the context of this test, what is a Type I error?A Type I error is  the hypothesis that  μ  is   when, in fact,  μ  is  .Suppose that you decide not to…

You are a public health researcher.  You want to see if the average age that a person starts smoking has changed over time.  Smokers are recruited to answer a survey that asked at what age they started smoking.  You divided participants into two groups, one is participants under the age of 30 and the second for participants over the age of 30.  The average age for the two groups were compared. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant different in starting age between the two groups.     one-sample t-test     related samples t-test     independent samples t-test     ANOVA

A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned.   Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.”    Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations.   1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.

Customers of a restaurant have been complaining about food poisoning over the past week. A health professional was called to investigate. He tested a representative sample of the eggs and reported that  23%  of the sample eggs tested positive for the salmonella bacterium. If a second health professional tests 4 eggs at random, what is the mean of the number of eggs that test positive for salmonella?

One personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. You are interested in the mean score, μ , among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that μ is 145, but you have good reason to believe that μ is less than 145. You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is 139 and that the standard deviation of their scores is 28. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1that should be used for the test? H0: H1: (b) Suppose that you decide to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might you be making?   ▼(Choose one)   (c) Suppose the true mean score among the general population on the subsection is 136. Fill in the blanks to describe a Type II error. A Type II error…

You are told that the proportion p-hat  of those who answered "yes" to a poll about internet use is p-hat = 0.70, and the standard error of the proportion is 0.0458. What was the sample size?

Imagine a researcher asks a sample of five people to drive two types of cars and rate each of them on a scale of 1 to 25. The researcher wants to know: Is there is a difference in the ratings of the two types of cars. Below are the data collected: Type A: 20, 10, 11, 23, 7 Type B: 10, 11, 4, 12, 1 What type of analysis would be appropriate to address the researcher’s question and why did you make this choice?  Conduct the analysis identified in “1” above using jamovi. Use α = .05. Is the assumption(s) met?  What do you conclude? Present your answer in APA.   ** NB I asked these already    using the responses please help answer question 2 2 Based on your decision in the questions above  identify and explain the type of error you could be making

You are interested in the mean score, μ, among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that μ is 140, but you have good reason to believe that μ differs from 140. You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is 146 and that the standard deviation of their scores is 22. Based on this information, complete the parts below. A. What are the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that should be used for the test? H0: H1: B. Suppose you decide to reject the null hypothesis. Would you be making a type I or type II error?
