Spam: A researcher reported that 71.8% of all email sent in a recent month was spam. A system manager at a large corporation believes that the percentage at his company may be 70%. He examines a random sample of 500 emails received at an email server, and finds that 374 of the messages are spam. Can you conclude that the percentage of emails that are spam is greater than 70% ? Use both a=0.10 and a=0.01 levels of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.

Night Owls proportion of MSU students who regularly sleep less than 8 hours each night is less than the value reported by the MSU psychologist. She randomly selects 215 students and asks them, "Do you regularly sleep less than 8 hours each night?" She finds that 77 of the 215 students answered "yes" to the question. A MSU psychologist reports that 40% of MSU students regularly sleep less than 8 hours each night. Cindy believes that the actual 1.

Suppose you are conducting a paired t test to determine whether or not caffeine has an effect on heart rate. You have a sample of 60 participants and they ingest no caffeine each day for a week. At the end of the week, you measure their heart rates and find the mean. Then, the same 60 participants are given 500mg of caffeine every day for a week and again, at the end of the week you measure their heart rates and find the mean. What would the null hypothesis be for this test?
Researchers have been studying the reliability of a new medical test. On their last study, they found that the test accurately identified those with the disease 92% of the time, and it accurately identified those without the disease only 74% of the time. There were 1,000 total people in this study, and 200 of them had the disease. Complete the table below using this information. Then, use your completed table to help you answer the questions.

In 2016 the Better Business Bureau settled 84% of complaints they received in the United States. Suppose you have been hired by the Better Business Bureau to investigate the complaints they received this year involving new car dealers. You plan to select a sample of new car dealer complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the Better Business Bureau is able to settle. Assume the population proportion of complaints settled for new car dealers is 0.84, the same as the overall proportion of complaints settled in 2016. Use the z-table. a. Suppose you select a sample of 200 complaints involving new car dealers. Show the sampling distribution of p. E(p) (to 2 decimals) (to 4 decimals) b. Based upon a sample of 200 complaints, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion (to 4 decimals)? probability : = c.

Consider a medical test with a false positive rate of 1% and a false negative rate of 2%. The frequency of the condition in people who take this test is 3% Q4. If this test was given to 100,000 healthy people, how many false diagnoses would there be? Q5. What is the overall percentage of people who test "positive" who are actually negative for the condition? Q6. What is the overall percentage of people who test "negative" who are actually positive for the condition? # wrong diag. = ??? % pos. = ??? % % pos. = ??? %
A survey found that in a sample of 100 families, 37 owned cats. A survey done 5 years ago found that in a sample of 80 families, 34 owned cats. At ? = 0.05 has the proportion of cat owners changed over the 5-year period?
The authors of a paper randomly selected two samples of patients admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke. One sample was selected from patients who received biofeedback weight training for 8 weeks, and the other sample was selected from patients who did not receive this training. At the end of 8 weeks, the time it took (in seconds) to stand from a sitting position and then to sit down again (called sit-stand-sit time) was measured for the people in each sample. Data consistent with summary quantities given in the paper are given below. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that the samples are representative of the population of stroke patients who receive the biofeedback training and the population of stroke patients who do not receive this training.

A researcher designed a study to test whether caffeine use enhanced performance time to run a 100 meter sprint. The participants (n=30) ran a 100 meter sprint before the consumption of caffeine on day 1 and then they ran another 100 meter sprint on the following day 2 after ingesting caffeine. The average time taken to run the 100 meter sprint on day 1 was (M1) and the average to run on day 2 after caffeine was (M2). The variance for this study was calculated to be (S2). Does caffeine use improve the running time in the 100 meter sprint (e.g., lower time)? Use all of the data provided to you below and test at an alpha of 0.05.
