- You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of men over 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is significantly different from 77%. With HA : p ≠ 77% you obtain a test statistic of z=−2.408 Find the p-value accurate to 4 decimal places.p-value =arrow_forwardlecture(12.11): Researchers were interested in the effects of co-sleeping on nightime waking and crying in infants. .They assesed the number of minutes parents reported that their infants were awake and crying for a period of three days. Five of the infants co-slept with thier mothers(Co) and four infants slept in crib(Cr).The researchers wanted to see if there was a difference in the total number of minutes of crying during the 3 nights. for the two groups. A summary of the data is given below Co-sleepers night time crying in minutes: 8, 4, 7, 7, 6 Crib-sleepers night time crying in minutes: 30, 17, 22, 25 Test the hypotheses at (aplha=.05) level of signifcance. using the 5 step hypotheses testing procedure.

The company states that the vaccine will be equally effective for men and women. In its initial stage, a researcher selects a random sample of 200 men and 100 women independently. At the end of the study, 15 of the men and 10 of the women showed symptoms of the virus after taking the vaccine. Is there enough evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference in the proportions of men and women who show symptoms of the virus after taking the vaccine? (a) State the appropriate hypotheses to answer this question. (b) Compute the test-statistic. (c) (i) Calculate the p-value. (ii) Interpret the p-value you have found. (d) State your conclusion in context of the situation. Page 1 135arrow_forward
