Consider the following statements about hypothesis testing: (i) Reject Ho. Evidence proves support for Ha. (ii) Fail to reject Ho. Evidence disproves support for Ha. (iii) Accept Ho. Evidence proves support for Ho.   Which of the following is not an appropriate conclusion from a hypothesis test? a. None of the suggested answers are correct b. (i), (ii) only c. (iii) only d. (ii) only e. (i) only

5. Possible outcomes of a hypothesis test The following table depicts the four possible outcomes of a hypothesis test: The researcher makes a correct decision [either by correctly rejecting the null hypothesis (H₀) or correctly not rejecting the null hypothesis], makes a Type I error, or makes a Type II error. In each of the following boxes, select the description that matches the outcome.   Decision Truth H₀ False H₀ True Reject H₀ Outcome A      Outcome B      Do not reject H₀ Outcome C      Outcome D        The probability of a Type I error is     , and the probability of a Type II error is     .

If a researcher fails to reject the null hypothesis, he or she can conclude that:   Question 35 options:   the null hypothesis is true.   the alternative hypothesis is true.   there is adequate evidence to reject the null.   there is no adequate evidence to reject the null.

Assume that adults were randomly selected for a poll. They were asked if they "favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos." Of those polled, 484 were in favor, 397 were opposed, and 123 were unsure. A politician claims that people don't really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin toss. Exclude the 123 subjects who said that they were unsure, and use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5. What does the result suggest about the politician's claim? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below. А. Но: р3D0.5 H4:p>0.5 В. Но: р#0.5 H1:p= 0.5 С. Но: р-0.5 H1:p<0.5 D. Ho: p= 0.5 H1:p#0.5 Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test. The test statistic for this hypothesis test is. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)…

Assume that adults were randomly selected for a poll. They were asked if they "favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos." Of those polled, 482 were in favor, 403 were opposed, and 124 were unsure. A politician claims that people don't really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin toss. Exclude the 124 subjects who said that they were unsure, and use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5. What does the result suggest about the politician's claim? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below. О А. Но: р#0.5 H1:p= 0.5 В.

1. Medical personnel are required to report suspected cases of child abuse.  Because some diseases have symptoms that mimic those of child abuse, doctors who see a child with these symptoms must decide between two competing hypotheses:                               H0 :  Symptoms are due to child abuse                               HA :  Symptoms are not due to child abuse During an interview, an Atlanta doctor stated, “If it’s actually a disease, the worst you have is an angry family.  If it is abuse, the kids in the family are in deadly danger.”  What is a Type II error in the context of this problem? Group of answer choices a. A Type II error indicates the doctor rejected Ho, and the doctor is claiming the symptoms are due to child abuse but they actually are not due to child abuse. The family is very angry at the doctor but the kids are not in danger. b. A Type II error indicates doctor failed to reject Ho, and the doctor is claiming the symptoms are NOT due to child…
