Question
University personnel are concerned about the sleeping habits of students and the negative impact on academic performance. In a random sample of 377 U.S. college students, 209 students reported experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that more than half of U.S. college students experience EDS? Use a 5% level of significance
a)State the name of the appropriate test procedure you will use (e.g., one-sample t test for means)
b)Describe the parameter of interest in the context of the problem.
c)State the null and alternative hypotheses.

- As quality control inspector, you have previously believed a claim that 3.2% of items made on your production line are defective. To see if you should still believe this claim: you decide to do a two sided significance test, with a significance level of 2%. You then randomly sample 420 items from the production line, and find that 22 of the items are defective. Which of the following are correct general statements about the conclusion that you find from the significance test? Select all that apply 1. The P-value from your test, is less than or equal to your chosen alpha value. 2. Your sample results are not statistically significant. 3. You reject the null hypothesis in favor of the two sided alternative. 4. Your sample results are statistically significant 5. Based upon the evidence from your significance test, you should no longer believe the null hypothesis claim. 6. Based upon the evidence from your significance test, you have no reason to stop believing the null hypothesis…arrow_forwardBelow indicate whether the appropriate test would be an independent t-test, dependent t-test, One-way ANOVA, or z-test.

- Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.arrow_forwardUSA Today ran a report about a UNC poll of 1248 adults from the southern U.S. It was reported that 8% of those surveyed believe that Elvis Presley still lives.
