Question

Transcribed Image Text:You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question.
Suppose in 2018, RAND Corporation researchers found that 77% of all individuals ages 66 to 69 are adequately prepared financially for retirement. Many financial planners have expressed concern that a smaller percentage of those in this age group who did not complete high school are
adequately prepared financially for retirement.
(a) Develop appropriate hypotheses such that rejection of Ho will support the conclusion that the proportion of those who are adequately prepared financially for retirement is smaller for people in the 66-69 age group who did not complete high school than it is for the population of the
66-69 year old. (Enter != for ‡ as needed.)
Ho:
P≥0.77
Ha:
p<0.77
(b) In a random sample of 300 people from the 66-69 age group who did not complete high school, 171 were not prepared financially for retirement. What is the p-value for your hypothesis test?
Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
-8.23
Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value = -8.23
X
(c) At a = 0.01, what is your conclusion?
Do not reject Ho. We conclude that the percentage of 66- to 69-year-old individuals who are adequately prepared financially for retirement is smaller for those who did not complete high school.
Do not reject Ho. We cannot conclude that the percentage of 66- to 69-year-old individuals who are adequately prepared financially for retirement is smaller for those who did not complete high
school.
Reject Ho. We cannot conclude that the percentage of 66- to 69-year-old individuals who are adequately prepared financially for retirement is smaller for those who did not complete high school.
Reject Ho. We conclude that the percentage of 66- to 69-year-old individuals who are adequately prepared financially for retirement is smaller for those who did not complete high school.

The mathematics chairperson of a prestigious university wishes to test the claim that this percentage is no longer 37%. He has no indication of whether the percentage has increased or decreased since that time. He surveys a simple random sample of 221 recent articles published by reputable mathematics research journals and finds that 98 of these articles have US authors.

Bullying and victimization are evident as early as preschool, with the problem peaking in middle school. Suppose you are interested in the emotional well-being of not only the victims but also bystanders, bullies, and those who bully but who are also victims (bully-victims). You decide to measure depression in a group of victims and a group of bully-victims using a 26-item, 3-point depression scale. Assume scores on the depression scale are normally distributed and that the variances of the depression scores are the same among victims and bully-victims. The group of 25 victims scored an average of 25.3 with a sample standard deviation of 9 on the depression scale. The group of 23 bully-victims scored an average of 20.5 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the same scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions about whether victims or bully-victims…arrow_forward

- A recent report by PEW Research Center, published on February 25, 2022 summarizes American views on Russia threat as follows. “When it comes to rising U.S.- Russia tensions, an early January survey found that 26% of Americans considered the Russian military buildup near Ukraine to be a major threat to U.S. interests, while 33% said it was a minor threat to U.S. interests. Another 7% said it was no threat at all. A relatively large share of U.S. adults (33%) said they were not sure how Russian actions toward Ukraine affected U.S. interests.” Answer the questions based on the proportions listed above. (a) Use the binomial distribution to estimate the probability that more than half of 20 randomly selected US adults consider Russian military buildup near Ukraine to be a major or a minor threat to U.S. interests.

- The article "Freedom of What?" (Associated Press, February 1, 2005) described a study in which high school students and high school teachers were asked whether they agreed with the following statement: "Students should be allowed to report controversial issues in their student newspapers without the approval of school authorities." Researchers hypothesized that the long-run proportion of high school teachers who would agree with the statement would differ from the long-run proportion of high school students who would agree. Two random samples - 8,000 high school teachers and 10,000 high school students were selected from high schools in the U.S. It was reported that 39% of the teachers surveyed and 58% of the students surveyed agreed with the statement. A simulated null distribution of 1,000 differences in proportions created by using the Two Proportion applet is shown below.

A group of doctors at a specific hospital believes that the normal survival rate for patients with extensive burns will significantly increase with the use of new fluid plasma compresses. Before the new treatment, the survival rate for extensive burn patients at the hospital was about 40%. Using the new compresses, the hospital found that 48 out of 90 patients with extensive burns survived. Does this provide sufficient evidence for the hospital to try to market the new fluid plasma compresses to other hospitals? Answer this question using a = 0.05.arrow_forward
