In the Mississippi River, it was found that 206 of 579 fish caught were Asian Carp. In Lake Mille Lacs, 28 of 132 fish caught were Asian Carp. Let p, = the true proportion of Asian Carp in the Mississippi River and let p2 = the true proportion of Asian Carp in Lake Mille Lacs. A test of Ho: P₁ = P2 vs. Ha: P₁ P₂ resulted in a p-value of 0.0015. Which of the following is a correct conclusion? (A) The test is not appropriate, since the researchers should have conducted a one-sided test. (B) The test is not appropriate, since the sample size is too small to conduct an inference test for proportions. (C) The test is not appropriate, since the two sample sizes are very different. (D) The p-value of this test is large, indicating we have sufficient evidence to conclude that a…arrow_forward
- Katie is interested if an association exists between age and sleep habits. She selects a random sample of 68 adults in three age groups and determines whether they sleep less than 7 hours, between 7 and 8 hours, or more than 8 hours each night. She would like to determine if there is convincing evidence of an association. Let = 0.05. What are the hypotheses for this test? H0: There is an association between age and sleep habits.Ha: There is no association between age and sleep habits. H0: There is no association between age and sleep habits.Ha: There is an association between age and sleep habits. H0: There is no difference in the distribution of age and sleep habits.Ha: There is a difference in the distribution of age and sleep habits.

The pollution intake is the amount of exhaust emissions, in grams per person, that would be inhaled while traveling on the bus during its usual 18-mile trip on congested freeways from South Central LA to a magnet school in West LA. Here are the amounts for the nine buses when driven with the windows open. 1.17 0.33 0.40 0.33 1.32 0.38 0.25 0.40 0.35 (a) Consider making a stemplot. Are there outliers or strong skewness that would preclude use of the t procedures? Which is correct? A. The sample is small and the stemplot is right skewed with possible outliers, so use of t procedures is not appropriate. b. The distribution is symmetric so use of t procedures is appropriate. c.
