Question
In a random sample of males, it was found that 23 write with their left hands and 225 do not. In a random sample of females, it was found that 59 write with their left hands and 470 do not. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the rate of left-handedness among males is less than that among females.

- An important measure in the study of contagious infectious diseases is the number of cases directly generated by one previous case. Jessica is an epidemiologist studying the spread of an infectious disease in her country. She claimed that the mean number of cases directly generated by one previous case is now greater than 1.2. A study of 12 randomly selected cases of the disease is conducted and finds the sample mean number of cases directly generated by one previous case to be 1.5 with a sample standard deviation of 0.7. Assume that the population of the number of cases directly generated by one previous case is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.10 level of significance, to support the claim that u, the mean number of cases directly generated by one previous case, is greater than 1.2. (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that you would use for the test.…arrow_forwardA dietician read in a survey that 70.5% of adults in the U.S. do not eat breakfast at least 3 days a week. She believes that the proportion that skip breakfast 3 days a week is different than 0.705. To verify her claim, she selects a random sample of 71 adults and asks them how many days a week they skip breakfast.. 44 of them report that they skip breakfast at least 3 days a week. Test her claim at a = 0.10. The correct hypotheses would be: О Но:р 0.705 (claim) Но: р > 0.705 HA:p < 0.705 (claim) О Но: р — 0.705 HA:P + 0.705 (claim) Since the level of significance is 0.10 the critical value is 1.645 and -1.645 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places) The decision can be made to: O reject Ho O do not reject Ho The final conclusion is that: O There is enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion that skip breakfast 3 days a week is different than 0.705. O There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion that skip…arrow_forwardA researcher gathered a sample of participants who volunteered for a studying of phobias.

- A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 285 people over the age of 55, 68 dream in black and white, and among 307 people under the age of 25, 14 dream in black and white. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. An explanation for the results is that those over the age of 55 grew up exposed to media that was displayed in black and white. Can these results be used to verify that explanation? A. Yes. The results can be used to verify the given explanation because the difference in proportions is practically significant. B. Yes. The results can be used to verify the given explanation because the difference in proportions is statistically significant. C. No. The results speak to a possible difference between the proportions of people over 55 and under 25 who dream in…arrow_forwardAt BYU-Idaho there has been a lot of interest in the performance of students in online classes. Generally, administrators are interested to know if there is a difference in the learning of students who take an online course compared to those who take a traditional course. A study was done to see if the grade received in the course is related to the type of course. Researchers collected the grades of randomly selected students who were taking a traditional Business Statistics class and compared those with the grades earned by randomly selected students who were taking an online Business Statistics class. The data are shown in the table below. Grade A B с D F You want to determine if a student's grade and the type of course he or she is enrolled in are independent. Use a level of significance of a = 0.01. State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test. O Ho: Traditional and online courses are not independent.

- A researcher was curious whether psychology majors earned a different amount of money after college compared to business majors. The mean salary for business majors 5 years after graduation is 55,000. She asked 22 recent psychology graduates their salaries and found that M=48,000 and s=12,000. Test the hypothesis that psychology majors make a different amount of money than business majors.

The park recently closed its shuttle system, which used to transport hikers to many of the park's most popular hiking trails. Because of this, an administrator at the park suspects the mean distance, u, is now less than 30 kilometers. The administrator chooses a random sample of 45 visitors. The mean distance hiked for the sample is 27.2 kilometers. Assume the population standard deviation is 9.9 kilometers. Can the administrator conclude that the mean distance hiked by each visitor is now less than 30 kilometers? Perform a hypothesis test, using the 0.10 level of significance.
