In Exercises 5–20, assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from
Color and Cognition Researchers from the University of British Columbia conducted a study to investigate the effects of color on cognitive tasks. Words were displayed on a computer screen with background colors of red and blue. Results from scores on a test of word recall are given below. Higher scores correspond to greater word recall.
a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the samples are from populations with the same mean.
b. Construct a confidence interval appropriate for the hypothesis test in part (a). What is it about the confidence interval that causes us to reach the same conclusion from part (a)?
c. Does the background color appear to have an effect on word recall scores? If so, which color appears to be associated with higher word memory recall scores?

Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population. a. Is this a test of one mean or proportion? b. State the null and alternative hypotheses. HO: c. Is this a right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed test? d. What symbol represents the random variable for this test? e. In words, define the random variable for this test. f. Calculate the following: i. x = ii. n=. lii. p' = g. Calculate ox = h.

To investigate, they survey a random sample of 300 city residents and use the results to test the following hypotheses: Họ: p = 0.50 Hip > 0.50 where pis the proportion of all city residents who support a 1% increase in the sales tax to fund road repairs. In the sample, p = 158/300 = 0.527. The resulting P-value is 0.18. What is the correct interpretation of this P-value? Assuming that 50% of residents support the tax increase, there is an 18% probability that the sample proportion would be 0.527 or greater by chance alone. There is an 18% chance that the majority of residents supports the tax increase. Assuming that 50% of residents support the tax increase, there is an 18% chance that the null hypothesis is true by chance alone. Assuming that more than 50% of residents support the tax increase, there is an 18% probability that the sample proportion…arrow_forward

The administrator calculates the proportion of malfunctioning bulbs produced by each assembly line and finds that the difference between them (A - B) is 0.008. A researcher conducted a hypothesis test with the following hypotheses: H0: The proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line A is the sample as the proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line B. HA: The proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line A is greater than the proportion of malfunctioning bulbs from assembly line B. She found a P-value of 0.016. What is the best interpretation of this P-value? a If there is no difference in the proportions of all defective parts made on the two assembly lines, the probability of observing a difference of at least 0.008 is 0.016. b If there is a difference of 0.016 in the proportions…arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosarrow_forward_ios
