Question
A random sample of 100 students at a high school was asked whether they would ask their father or mother for help with a financial problem. A second sample of 100 different students was asked the same question regarding a dating problem. If 43 students in the first sample and 47 students in the second sample replied that they turned to their mother rather than their father for help, test the hypothesis of no difference in the proportions. Use α = 0.02.
Identify the critical value(s).

She obtains a random sample of 120 containers of ground beef and finds that 84 percent have the correct fat content. Molly then conducts a hypothesis test of H0:p=0.80H0:p=0.80 versus Ha:p≠0.80Ha:p≠0.80 and calculates a test statistic of 1.10 with a pp-value of 0.273. Which of the following best represents the meaning of the pp-value? If the population proportion is 0.84, the probability of observing a sample proportion of 0.80 is 0.273. A If the population proportion is 0.84, the probability of observing a sample proportion of at least 0.04 less than 0.84 is 0.273. B If the population proportion is 0.80, the probability of observing a sample proportion within 0.04 of 0.80 is 0.273.

For Englewood (a suburb of Denver), a random sample of n2 = 18 winter days gave a sample mean pollution index of x2 = 36. Previous studies show that ?2 = 15. Assume the pollution index is normally distributed in both Englewood and Denver. Do these data indicate that the mean population pollution index of Englewood is different (either way) from that of Denver in the winter? Use a 1% level of significance. a) What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference ?1 − ?2. Round your answer to two decimal places.)b) Find (or estimate) the P-value.

- According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 69% of children under the age of 18 years in the United States lived with two parents in 2009. Suppose that in a recent sample of 2000 children, 1249 were living with two parents. a. Using the critical value approach and a = 0.05, test whether the current percentage of all children under the age of 18 years in the United States who live with two parents is different from 69%. Round your answer for z to two decimal places. Zobserved = i Zcritical left = i Zcritical right i We the null hypothesis. We conclude that the current percentage of all children under the age of 18 years in the United States who live with two parents is 69%. b. How do you explain the TypeI error in part a? What is the probability of making this error in part a? The Type I error occurs when we conclude that the current percentage of all children under the age of 18 years in the United States who live with two parents is 69%, when it is 69%. P(Type I error) = c. Calculate the…arrow_forward16% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a different percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea.

In the Mississippi River, it was found that 206 of 579 fish caught were Asian Carp. In Lake Mille Lacs, 28 of 132 fish caught were Asian Carp. Let p, = the true proportion of Asian Carp in the Mississippi River and let p2 = the true proportion of Asian Carp in Lake Mille Lacs. A test of Ho: P₁ = P2 vs. Ha: P₁ P₂ resulted in a p-value of 0.0015. Which of the following is a correct conclusion? (A) The test is not appropriate, since the researchers should have conducted a one-sided test. (B) The test is not appropriate, since the sample size is too small to conduct an inference test for proportions. (C) The test is not appropriate, since the two sample sizes are very different. (D) The p-value of this test is large, indicating we have sufficient evidence to conclude that a…arrow_forward

To test the drug, three samples of rats are selected with n=9 in each sample.The first sample receives the drug every day. The second sample is given the drug once a week, and the third sample receives no drug at all (the control group). These assignments of drugs are called treatments.The (dependent) variable being compared is the amount of food eaten by each rat over a 1-month period. These data are analyzed by an ANOVA, and the results are reported in the following summary table.
