Exercise 6.22 provides data on sleep deprivation ratesof Californians and Oregonians. The proportion ofCalifornia residents who reported insucient rest or sleepduring each of the preceding 30 days is 8.0%, whilethis proportion is 8.8% for Oregon residents. These dataare based on simple random samples of 11,545California and 4, 691 Oregon residents. a) Conduct ahypothesis test to determine if these data providestrong evidence the rate of sleep deprivation is differentfor the two states. (Reminder: Check conditions.) p=value 1.65 and test statistic = 1.65 I am trying tofigure out how they were able to get this answer.

For California:The sample size, i.e., the sampled number of residents, n1=11545The rate of sleep…

. Although there is a popular belief that herbal remedies such as Ginkgo biloba and Ginseng may improve learning and memory in healthy adults, these effects are usually not supported by wellcontrolled research (Persson, Bringlov, Nilsson, and Nyberg, 2004). In a typical study, a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 participants and has each person take the herbal supplements every day for 90 days. At the end of the 90 days, each person takes a standardized memory test. For the general population, scores from the test form a normal distribution with a mean of μ = 50 and a standard deviation of σ = 12. The sample of research participants had an average of M = 54. Assuming a two-tailed test, state the null hypothesis in a sentence that includes the two variables being examined. Using the standard 4-step procedure, conduct a two-tailed hypothesis test with α = .05 to evaluate the effect of the supplements.
In a study of the effectiveness of a new device that supports a weak or damaged heart, 150 people who consented to treatment were assigned at random to either a standard treatment consisting of drugs or the experimental treatment that consisted of drugs and surgery to install the new device. After two years, 60% of the 67 patients who received the device had improved and 40% of the patients who received the standard treatment had improved. Does this data provide convincing evidence that the proportion of patients who recieved the experimental treatment who improved is higher than for the patients who received the standard treatment? Test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of 0.05. (Use pexperimental − pstandard ).A) State the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: pe − ps = 0, HA: pe − ps ≠ 0 H0: pe − ps = 0, HA: pe − ps < 0 H0: pe − ps = 0, HA: pe − ps > 0 B) Find the test statistic.z = C) What is the p-value?P-Value = D) State your conclusion in terms of…
To determine a target audience for a new email package, a computer company surveyed a large random sample of potential customers, asking each whether he/she uses email on a regular basis. (The company considered "a regular basis" to be at least three times a week.) The data, as summarized in the contingency table below, were classified according to two variables: the age of the respondent ("under 18", "18-35", "36-54", "55+") and regularity of email use ("on a regular basis" or "not on a regular basis"). Each cell of the table contains three numbers: the first number is the observed cell frequency (fO); the second number is the expected cell frequency (fE) under the assumption that there is no dependence between age and regularity of email use and the third number is the following value.

A study, which randomly surveyed 3,700 households and drew on this information from the IRS, found that 79% of households have conducted at least one IRA rollover from an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Suppose a recent random sample of 90 households in a certain county was taken and respondents were asked whether they had ever funded an IRA account with a rollover from an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Based on the sample data below, can you conclude at the 0.10 level of significance that the proportion of households in the county that have funded an IRA with a rollover is different from the proportion for all households reported in the study? 77 respondents said they had funded an account; 13 respondents said they had not
Suppose a study was conducted to compare the sleep deprivation rates of Californians and Oregonians. The proportion of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.8%, while this proportion is 7% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 1,545 California and 1,460 Oregon adult residents. a) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence the rate of sleep deprivation is different for the two states. Use California as Group A and Oregon as Group B.Test statistic (Round to 4 decimal places): p-value (round to 4 decimal places): Conclusion at the 5% level of significance: We accept the null hypothesis. We reject the null hypothesis. We fail to reject the null hypothesis. b) It is possible the conclusion of the test in part (a) is incorrect (contradicts with the reality). If this is the case, what type of error was made? Type I Error Type III Error Type II Error A…
A low-level CDC bureaucrat wants to please his boss by gathering evidence thatthe current government-mandated shutdown of society is not causing people’s mentalhealth to deteriorate, so that it can safely be continued for several years if anyexpert says it’s necessary.He polls a random sample of 1600 citizens, gathering data on such items asincome loss, weight gain, access to toilet paper, hours spent binge-watchingNetflix, and number of injuries caused by household fights, and compiles all thisinto a scientifically-weighted “misery index”.The mean misery index from the sample is 99.2; it seems reasonable to use apopulation standard deviation σ = 19.1.a) Does this information provide significant evidence (at the 5% level) that thenationwide mean misery index is less than 100? Set up appropriate null andalternative hypotheses, calculate the appropriate test statistic, find the P-value,and state your conclusion.

Recent incidents of food contamination have caused great concern among consumers. The article “How Safe Is That Chicken?” (Consumer Reports, Jan. 2010: 19–23) reported that 35 of 80 randomly selected Perdue brand broilers tested positively for either campylobacter or salmonella (or both), the leading bacterial causes of food-borne disease, whereas 66 of 80 Tyson brand broilers tested positive. If the true proportions of non-contaminated chickens for the Perdue and Tyson brands are .50 and .25, respectively, how likely is it that the null hypothesis of equal proportions will be rejected when a .01 significance level is used and the sample sizes are both 80?
In analyzing the consumption of cottage cheese by members of various occupational groups, the United Dairy Industry Association found that 326 of 837 professionals seldom or never ate cottage cheese, versus 220 of 489 white-collar workers and 522 of 1243 blue-collar workers (Sheet 53). Assuming independent samples, use the 0.03 level in testing the null hypothesis that the population proportions could be the same for the three occupational groups.
