Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 9–32, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Use the
13. OxyContin The drug OxyContin (oxycodone) is used to treat pain, but it is dangerous because it is addictive and can be lethal. In clinical trials, 227 subjects were treated with OxyContin and 52 of them developed nausea (based on data from Purdue Pharma L.P.). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that more than 20% of OxyContin users develop nausea. Does the rate of nausea appear to be too high?

- Identifying H0 and H1 In Exercises 5–8, do the following: a. Express the original claim in symbolic form. b. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Pulse Rates Claim: The standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is more than 11 bpm. For the random sample of 153 adult males in Data Set 1 “Body Data” in Appendix B, the pulse rates have a standard deviation of 11.3 bpm.arrow_forwardTourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida. Hotel occupancy is an often-reported measure of visitor volume and visitor activity (Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2018). Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows. Current Year (1) Previous Year (2) 1458 1800 Occupied Rooms (X) 1470 Total Rooms (n) 1750 Formulate the hypothesis test can be used to determine whether there has been an increase in the proportion of rooms occupied over the one-year period.
