- 4. Researchers believe that men are more physically aggressive than women. To test this, researchers ask 20 participants (10 male, 10 female) to rate how aggressive they are on a scale from 1 to 10. Their scores are listed below. Conduct all six steps of hypothesis testing (use p=.05). Be sure to label all six steps. Also, include a concluding statement (which should include the effect size).

Another random sample of n2 = 129 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and 6 were found to be high school dropouts. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of high school dropouts on Oahu is different (either way) from that of Sweetwater County? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p1 − p2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.)

After making some recent changes, the marriage counselor now claims that her program can prevent divorce in more than 77% of married couples.

- According to a recent study in New York, 15% of shoppers are unfairly being charged sales tax in non-taxable items. Mr. Hypothesis feels this proportion is too low. He tests his belief by conducting a survey of 200 random shoppers. Which of the following would be the alternate hypothesis? a. The percent of shoppers unfairly being charged sales tax on non-taxable items < .15 b. The percent of shoppers unfairly being charged sales tax on non-taxable items > .15 c.

You decided to make some changes to how the machine is calibrated in an attempt to reduce downtime. 63 days after your changes were implemented, you find that the machine had some downtime during the day on 31.0% of days. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the proportion of days that the machine has downtime has decreased from before, with a= 0.1. * Using this information, what is the p in your analysis? Note: 1- Only round your final answer. Enter your final answer with 2 decimal places.arrow_forward
