### Hypothesis Testing Example**Problem Statement:**Assume that adults were randomly selected for a poll. They were asked if they “favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos.” Of those polled, 482 were in favor, 403 were opposed, and 122 were unsure. A politician claims that people don't really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin toss. Exclude the 122 subjects who said that they were unsure, and use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5. What does the result suggest about the politician’s claim?**Steps for Statistical Hypothesis Test:**1. **Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below:** - **A.** - \(H_0: p = 0.5\) - \(H_1: p > 0.5\) - **B.** - \(H_0: p = 0.5\) - \(H_1: p = 0.5\) - **C.** - \(H_0: p > 0.5\) - \(H_1: p = 0.5\) - **D.** - \(H_0: p = 0.5\) - \(H_1: p \neq 0.5\)2. **Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test:** The test statistic for this hypothesis test is \( \square \) (Round to two decimal places as needed).3. **Identify the P-value for this hypothesis test:** The P-value for this hypothesis test is \( \_\_\_ \) (Round to three decimal places as needed).4. **Identify the conclusion for this hypothesis test:** - **A.** Reject \( H_0 \). There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the responses are equivalent to a coin toss. - **B.** Fail to reject \( H_0 \). There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the responses are equivalent to a coin toss. - **C.** Reject \( H_0 \). There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection

According to the Pew Research Center, the proportion of the American population who use only a cellular telephone (no landline) is 0.37. Jason conducts a survey of thirty 20- to 24-year-olds who live on their own and finds that 16 do not have a landline to their home. Does this provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of 20- to 24-year-olds who live on their own and don’t have a landline is greater than 0.37? Use an a=0.10 level of significance.

USA Today (Feb. 17, 2011) described a survey of 1,008 American adults. One question on the survey asked people if they had ever sent a love letter using e-mail. Suppose that this survey used a random sample of adults and 205 stated that they had written a love letter using e-mail. Is this evidence that more than 20% of American adults have written a love letter using e-mail? Use a level of significance of 5%. a) p: (3 decimal places) b) Complete the following areas. Label the critical value and test statistic on the curve and shade the rejection region(s).

The Mayoral challenger claims that less than 30% of residents over the age of 25 have bachelor's degrees in our city. To test this claim, you survey 80 adults over the age of 25 and find only 18 possess bachelor's degrees. At the 5% level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the challengers claim?
An ABC News poll asked adults whether they felt genetically modified food was safe to eat. 35% felt it was safe, 52% felt it was not safe, and 13% had no opinion.A random sample of 120 adults was asked the same question at a local county fair. 40 people felt that genetically modified food was safe, 60 felt that it was not safe, and 20 had no opinion.At the 0.01 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportions differ from those reported in the survey?

What is the Chi squared value for this problem? What is the appropriate decision?

AD (Alzheimer's disease) causes progressive cognitive impairment. A diagnostic blood test for AD was proposed. An evaluation of the blood text involved fifty known AD patients and forty control who did not have AD. Of those who had AD, forty eight tested positive on the blood test and two tested negative. Of those without AD, three tested positive on the blood test and thirty seven tested negative. f. What is the PPV? Use this in a sentence explaining to a person what their positive test results suggests.
An article published in the “American Journal of Public Health” describes the results of a health survey administered to 119 male convicts, 50 years of age or older, residing in a state social rehabilitation center. It was found that 21.6% of them claimed to have a history of venereal diseases. Based on these findings, we wish to evaluate whether more than 15% of this population has a history of venereal diseases. What would be the p value that allows evaluating the research question?

Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?
