Question
Dolly the sheep, the worlds first mammal to be cloned, was introduced to the public in 1997. In a pew research poll taken soon after Dollys debut, 63% of Americans were opposed to the cloning of animals. In a pew research poll taken 20 years after Dollys, 60% of thoes surveyed were opposed to animal cloning. Assume this was based on a random sample of 1100 Americans.
Does this survey indicate that opposition to animal cloning has declined since 1997? Use 0.05 significance level.
please show calculations for all 4 hypothesis testing steps and steps on Statcrunch or Mindtap.

- The National Academy of Science reported that 33% of research in mathematics is published by US authors. The mathematics chairperson of a prestigious university wishes to test the claim that this percentage is no longer 33%. He has no indication of whether the percentage has increased or decreased since that time. He surveys a simple random sample of 280 recent articles published by reputable mathematics research journals and finds that 108 of these articles have US authors. Does this evidence support the mathematics chairperson’s claim that the percentage is no longer 33%? Use a 0.01 level of significance.

The supervisor of the job placement office at a 4 year college thinks this percentage has increased due to increased use of technology in the workplace. She takes a random sample of 250 employed adults and finds that 95 of them feel that basic mathematical skills are critical or very important to their job. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of employed adults who feel basic mathematical skills are critical or very important to their job has increased at the a=.1 level of significance? what are the null and alternative hypotheses? determine the test statistic.

The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a.

If this is the result of a single gene system, then the proportions of offspring in the three phenotypes should be 0.25, 0.50, and 0.25 respectively. In one such experiment, 93 chickens were born. 20 had normal feathers, 50 had slightly curly feathers, and 23 had very curly feathers. Carry out a test to determine whether the genetic model seems to hold in this setting.arrow_forwardA paper describes a study of the use of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) exams in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The purpose of the study was to determine if MRI exams do a better job than mammograms of determining if women who have recently been diagnosed with cancer in one breast have cancer in the other breast. The study participants were 950 women who had been diagnosed with cancer in one breast and for whom a mammogram did not detect cancer in the other breast. These women had an MRI exam of the other breast, and 101 of those exams indicated possible cancer. After undergoing biopsies, it was determined that 30 of the 101 did in fact have cancer in the other breast, whereas 71 did not. The women were all followed for one year, and four of the women for whom the MRI exam did not indicate cancer in the other breast were subsequently diagnosed with cancer that the MRI did not detect. The accompanying table summarizes this information. Cancer Cancer Not Present Present Total MRI…arrow_forward

A local power company believes that residents in their area use more electricity on average than EIA's reported average. To test their claim, the company chooses a random sample of 115 of their customers and calculates that these customers used an average of 11,425 kWh of electricity last year. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 3217 kWh, is there sufficient evidence to support the power company's claim at the 0.02 level of significance? Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.arrow_forwardA lawn mower company will produce 1,500 lawn mowers by 2020. In an effort to determine how much maintenance-free consumers will buy when they buy lawn mowers, the company decided to conduct a study over the past 1 year of these mowers. First, a random sample was taken by contacting 200 grass mowers. The company owner provides an 800 number and is asked to contact the company when the first repair is needed for the lawn mower. Owners who no longer use lawn mowers to cut their grass are either disqualified or not sampled. After 1 year, it turned out that 187 owners had reported for the first repair. However, the other 74 disqualified themselves. The average number per year until the first improvement was 5.3 times for samples deemed feasible. It is believed that the standard deviation is 1.28 per year. If the company wants to advertise the lawnmower and with a confidence level of 95%, what is the estimated annual mean value of repair-free lawn mower for this lawn mower? What is the…arrow_forward
- A certain medical school accepts only 8% of applicants. A prep program claims that their students are admitted to this medical school at a higher rate. To test their claim at the 10% significance level, we select at random 144 students from the prep program (who all apply to this medical school), and we compute p, the proportion of the sample who are admitted to the medical school.arrow_forwardA 2012 survey of 417 American adults indicates that 15% of cell phone owners do their browsing on their phone rather than a computer or other device. According to an online article, a report from a mobile research company indicates that 38% of Chinese mobile web users only access the internet through their cell phones. We wish to conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence that the proportion of Americans who only use their cell phones to access the internet is less than the Chinese proportion of 38%. (a) The Null Hypothesis, in mathematical symbols, is: H0: p = ______ (b) The Alternative Hypothesis, in mathematical symbols, is: HA : p = _______ In both the null and alternative hypotheses, the symbol ( p ) is the proportion of American adult cell phone owners who do their browsing on their phone.

In the study, the infants watched as a sample of n = 5 ping-pong balls was selected from a large box. In one condition, the sample consisted of 1 red ball and 4 white balls. After the sample was selected, the front panel of the box was removed to reveal the contents. In the expected condition, the box contained primarily white balls like the sample, and the infants looked at it for an average of M = 7.5 seconds. In the unexpected condition, the box had primarily red balls, unlike the sample, and the infants looked at it for M = 9.9. The researchers interpreted the results as demonstrating that the infants found the unexpected result surprising and, therefore, more interesting than the expected result. Assuming that the standard error for both means is σM = 1 second, draw a bar graph showing the two sample…arrow_forward
