**The La Leche Society's Breastfeeding Educational Initiative**---**Introduction**The La Leche Society has recently produced and disseminated an educational video highlighting the benefits of breastfeeding. This initiative aims to increase the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding among new mothers during the critical early weeks of a baby's life. Historically, data indicated that 75% of new mothers practiced exclusive breastfeeding for the first six weeks postpartum.**Objective**The primary goal is to assess whether the educational videos have led to an increase in the proportion of new mothers who engage in exclusive breastfeeding for the first six weeks of their child's life.**Study Design and Data Collection**To evaluate the impact of the educational videos, the following study parameters were established:- A random sample of 400 new mothers was selected for observation.- Among these mothers, data was collected to determine how many exclusively breastfed their babies for the initial six weeks.**Results**From the sample of 400 new mothers:- 320 mothers were found to have exclusively breastfed their babies for the first six weeks.**Statistical Significance**To determine if the increase in the proportion is statistically significant, a hypothesis test was performed at a 5% significance level.*Hypothesis Test:*- Null Hypothesis (H0): The proportion of new mothers exclusively breastfeeding for the first six weeks is 75% (p = 0.75).- Alternative Hypothesis (H1): The proportion of new mothers exclusively breastfeeding for the first six weeks is greater than 75% (p > 0.75).**Conclusion**From the analysis conducted, the following conclusion can be drawn: [Insert the conclusion from the statistical test, such as whether the p-value was less than 0.05 leading to a rejection of the null hypothesis, indicating that the educational videos may have had a significant positive impact on breastfeeding rates.]For a detailed explanation of the statistical analysis and further interpretative insights, please refer to our comprehensive report [insert link to report if available].---*Note: This transcription is provided for educational purposes to guide through the interpretation of the given statistical problem and its context within a public health initiative.*

1. The La Leche Society has released an educational video on the benefits of breast feeding. Prior to the release of the videos, it was known that 75% of new moms breast-feed exclusively for the first six weeks of their child's life. The CEO wants to know if the videos are increasing this proportion. A random sample of 400 new moms was obtained and 320 breast-fed their new babies exclusively for the first six weeks. At the 5% significance level, what conclusion can be reached?

Crime incidents by quarantine violators. On June 10, 2020, CNN Philippines reported that the Philippine National Police (PNP) said that incidents of crime had decreased sharply during the country’s community quarantine, which lasted for 84 days. Concurrently, the Joint Task Force COVID Shield reported that a total of 193,779 quarantine violators had been warned, fined, or arrested. About 65.05% of them were from Luzon. Consider a random sample of 500 quarantine violators. a. Compute m and s for the random variable x, the num- ber of quarantine violators who are from Luzon. b. From the sample of 500 quarantine violators, is it likely that less than half are not from Luzon? Explain.
2. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 69% of adults 20 years of age and over in the U.S. are overweight. Recently, Jackson County was ranked 48th (out of 83 counties in Michigan) for a healthy population, and the County Commission wants to know if the county is significantly different from the national average at a 0.10 level of significance. They take a random sample of 280 adult residents of the county who are 20 years of age or older, and find that 72.5% are classified as overweight. Test the researcher's claim showing all steps, work and graphs.
A researcher is studying the effects of the college experience on attitudes, values, and behaviors and is comparing random samples of freshman and seniors at the same university. Is there a significant difference in political ideology? (On this scale, 10 means "very conservative" and 1 means "very liberal") FRESHMAN SENIORSmean=5.23 mean=5.12s=1.78 s=1.07N=145 N=105
The Wisconsin Fish and Game Department stocked a lake with 30% catfish, 15 % bass, 40% bluegill, and 15% Northern Pike. Five years later they took a random sample of 500 fish from the lake and found 120 catfish, 85 bass, 220 bluegill, and 75 Northern Pike. At the 5% level of significance, can we show that the distribution of fish changed over the 5-year interval? State and test appropriate hypotheses. State conclusions.
Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
Soccer players and former teammates Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimović got into an altercation. Ibrahimović implied that he was a better striker than Lukaku. Looking at their careers in clubs and in their respective national teams, Ibrahimović scored 467 goals in 750 games, and Lukaku scored 266 goals in 517 games. Neither of their careers are over, so this is just a sample of what both players can do. At the 1% significance level, can we claim that Ibrahimović has a bigger proportion of goals per game than Lukaku? To answer this question, perform a two-proportions z-Interval test. Do not forget to define your hypothesis and interpret your results!
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.
A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.
2. Some scientists believe that the presence of antibody to milk protein lowers the chance of survival after a heart attack. To explore this belief, a medical team took blood specimens from 335 male heart-attack patients and tested them for the presence of the antibody. The patients were then followed to determine whether they lived for 6 months following their heart attack. The results are presented in Table 2. Suppose we want to answer the following question: "Test, at the 5% level of significance, whether there is an association between the presence of antibody to milk protein and survival after a heart attack." Table 2: Survival vs Antibody to Milk Protein contingency table Survival Antibody to Milk Protein Alive Died Total Present 24 52 76 Absent 126 133 259 Total 150 185 335 SPSS produced the information needed to perform the hypothesis test in Table 3.

Researchers asked soda drinkers to view either the logo for their favorite soda or a graphic warning demonstrating the harmful effects of sugary beverages (e.g., tooth decay, obesity) and then measured their negative mood with a short survey. They found that those participants who saw the warnings reported significantly greater negative moods than those who saw the logos. Which statistical test should be used?
When I was an undergraduate, I helped my father conduct some Child Psychology research about parental influence on gender bias. In this study we interviewed 158 kindergarteners. Our initial question was "What is your favorite color?" where we studied the distribution of "Pink" and "Blue" responses. To our surprise, 38 of the students interviewed responded "Turquoise". Use this information to select the response which correctly answers the question. Being curious, we decided to further interview the children who responded "Turquoise". While he took a lunch break, he told me to select 5 such children to form a group for interviews. How many different possible groups could I have formed? O 769754986 O 5.297 x 1036 O 501942 O 1109750
