Question
Store owner asks 55 people in City A and 50 households in City B whether anyone in their household had used their store's products within the last month. 38 of the households surveyed in City A responded "yes" and 32 households in City B responded "yes."

- Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored candies 20% of them are blue. I candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%. Use a .05 significance level to test the claim. Identify the Noll and alternative hypothesis for this test. And what is the P value?arrow_forwardThe magazine Tech Worx reported that 95% of software engineers rate the company they work for as "a great place to work." As a veteran headhunter, you claim the percentage given in the report is not correct. In a survey of 220 randomly chasen software engineers, 208 rated the company they work for as "a great place to work." Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level af significance, to support your claim that the proportion, P, of al software engineers who rate the company they work for as "a great place to work" is nat 93%. (a) State the nul hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis A that you would use for the test. H: 0 (b) For your hypothesis test, you will use a Z-test. Find the values of P and n(1-p) to confirm that a Z-test can be used. (One standard is that p2 10 and 1 (1-p)2 10 under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true.) Here is the sample size and P is the population proportion are testing. np =…arrow_forward* In a certain state, a referendum is being held to determine whether the transportation authority should issue additional highway bonds. A sample of 430 voters is taken in county A, and 235 say that they favor the bond proposal. A sample of 500 voters is taken in county B, and 265 say that they favor the bond issue. Perform a hypothesis test to measure the strength of the evidence that the proportion of voters who favor the proposal is greater in county A than in county B. Use the a=0.02 level of significance. Use P Method and list all 6 steps clearly.arrow_forward
- Do the needs of patients in the emergency room differ for those who come by car vs. those by ambulance? of the randomly selected emergency room patients who came by car 69 had an injury, 58 were sick, 40 had heart problems and 52 had other needs. Of the randomly selected emergency room patients who came by ambulance 47 had an injury, 22 were sick, 44 had heart problems and 35 had other needs. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test using an a = 0.10 level of significance. a. What is the correct statistical test to use? O Homogeneity Paired t-test O Independence O Goodness-of-Fit b. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Họ: O The distribution of emergency room needs for patients who come by car is not the same as it is for patients who come by ambulance. O Means of transportation to the emergency room and emergency room needs are independent. O Means of transportation to the emergency room and emergency room needs are dependent.

Each participant tried a sample from all three different breweries (Ore Dock, Black Rocks, and Barrel + Beam) and was asked to rate each one on a scale of 0-100. Use the six steps of hypothesis testing to determine if there was a significant effect of brewery on IPA popularity ratings.

I can't figure out where I'm going wrong. I've probably been looking at it for too long now and I'm just missing something simple but I absolutely cannot figure it out. What I've come up with is that the GM is 40.53, the mean for OD is 34.4, BR is 34.6 and BB is 52.6. This has given me an SSbetween of 1092.1arrow_forward
- In 1948, an organization surveyed 1100 adults and asked, "Are you a total abstainer from, or do you on occasion consume, alcoholic beverages?" Of the 1100 adults surveyed, 429 indicated that they were total abstainers. In a recent survey, the same question was asked of 1100 adults and 363 indicated that they were total abstainers.

A researcher wanting to test this claim randomly sampled 84 such people. She filled 84 plain white cups with soda, half diet and half regular through random assignment, and asked each person to take one sip from their cup and identify the soda as diet or regular. 51 participants correctly identified the soda. Conduct and interpret a hypothesis test for the following question: are these people any better or worse at telling the difference between diet and regular soda than random guessing (correctly identify soda half of the time)? HINT: what is your hypothesized proportion if you want to test if these participants are right or not half of the time? Use a = .01 significance level.arrow_forward
