- Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted thirty years ago revealed that out of 378 randomly selected adults in the United States 57 were considered to be obese. In this year’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, out of 426randomly selected adults in the United States 135 were considered to be obese. Based on these results, can one conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the percentage of adults in the United States that are obese is considerably higher now than it was thirty years ago?arrow_forwardA company claims that at least 94% of equipment supplied to a manufacturer is within specifications. A test of a sample of 200 pieces of equipment showed that 27 of them were faulty. Test their claim at the 5% significance level?arrow_forwardA manufacturer of laptop computers claims that only 1% of their computers are defective. In a sample of 600 computers, it was found that 3% were defective. If the proportion of defectives were really only 1%, there would be than 1 chance in 1000 of getting such a large proportion of defective laptops in the sample. Is there statistically significant evidence against the manufacturer's claim? Why or Why not?arrow_forward
- Over the past few decades, public health officials have examined the link between weight concerns and teen girls' smoking. Researchers surveyed a group of 273 randomly selected teen girls living in Massachusetts (between 12 and 15 years old). After four years the girls were surveyed again. Sixty-three said they smoked to stay thin. Is there good evidence that more than thirty percent of the teen girls smoke to stay thin? Correctly identify the null and alternative hypotheses:arrow_forwardIn 2015, a survey found that 38% of Americans were supportive of online education for elementary and secondary education. With the increase in contagious viruses, it is of interest if this proportion has changed. In a 2019 poll, 51% of 1028 Americans were supportive of online education for elementary and secondary education. At the 10% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of all American adults who support online education for elementary and secondary education has changed from what was believed in 2015? Choose the choice that gives the null and alternative hypothesis.arrow_forwardMood variation is related to photoperiod in some people, and the likelihood of depression increases in the winter months. As a result, people often assume that suicide rates increase in winter. A study in Finland (Valtonen et al. 2006) divided the year 1997 into equal halves and compared the number of suicides in “winter” (24 September to 19 March) and “summer” (remainder of year). Out of a total of 1636 suicides, 766 were in winter and 870 were in the summer. Based on these data, estimate the proportion of suicides that occurred in winter, assuming that the suicides were independent. Are the data compatible with a greater suicide rate in winter than summer, based on a 95% confidence interval?arrow_forward
