Twenty years ago, 55% of parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. A recent survey found that 250 of 700 parents of children in high school felt it was a serious problem that high school students were not being taught enough math and science. Do parents feel differently today than they did twenty years ago? Use the a=0.01 level of significance. 10, the sample size is Because npo (1-Po) for testing the hypothesis satisfied. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) = 5% of the population size, and the sample the requirements

According to a Yankelovich poll, women spend an average of 19.1 hours shopping during the month of December, compared to 12.7 hours for men. as in the table below contains the survey data underlying these results, use the 0.01 level in examining whether the sample mean for women is significantly higher than that for men. find the p-value for the test. women men 13,9 11,9 27,6 15,9 11,6 17,9 21,0 12,6 20,9 12,1 20,3 10,5 9,7 11,9 15,6 16,5 22,5 11,2 26,4 5,3 17,0 14,4 23,2 16,3 13,1 10,8 22,1 10,5 21,6
The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 52 records of automobile driver fatalities in a certain county showed that 35 involved an intoxicated driver. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% in Kit Carson County? Use ? = 0.10. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)=__ (c)Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)=__
A shareholders' group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 11 years. A survey of 62 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 9.3 years for CEOS with a standard deviation of s = 4.4 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007). You don't know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed. You want to formulate and test a hypothesis that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by the group, at a significance level of a = 0.05. Your hypotheses are: H.:µ > 11 На: :и < 11 What is the test statistic for this sample?
An article reported a survey of patients with Parkinson's disease. Of 161 patients who said they exercised regularly, 77 reported failing in the previous six months. Of 94 patients who said they did not exercise regularly, 48 reported falling in the previous six months. Can you conclude the proportion of patients who fall is less for those who exercise than for those who do not? Use the significance level of 0.05. Type the Computed Testing.
What happens to measures of effect size such as r2 and Cohen's d as sample size increases? a. Doesn't influence the effect size. b. They tend to increase. c. They tend to decrease.
A random sample of employees participating in a company fitness program were asked how many days they logged an exercise activity in the past month. Their responses are reported in the histogram below.Based on the histogram above, what is the class width? Clas width = ? Days What is the sample size? Sample size = ? employees
Consider the relationship between p-values and significance levels. a. Explain why a value of z-statistic that is significant at the 1% level in a one-sided test is always significant at the 5% level. b. Explain why the reverse is not true. If something is significant at the 5% level in a one-sided test it is not necessarily significant at the 1% level.
Explain the four steps involved in significance testing?
In Problems 9-12, conduct each test at the a= 0.05 level of significance by determining (a) the null and alternative hypotheses, (b) the test statistic, (c) the critical value, and (d) the P-value. Assume that the samples were obtained independently using simple random sampling.
Past studies have indicated that the percentage of smokers was estimated to be about 34%. Given the new smoking cessation programs that have been implemented, you now believe that the percentage of smokers has reduced. You randomly surveyed 1783 people and found that 553 smoke. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of smokers has reduced.
A marketing director developed a short television commercial to improve the image of a company. The commercial was tested on 20 people. People’s attitudes about the company were measured with a questionnaire when they first came in for the experiment and then again with the same questionnaire after viewing the commercial. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between measures? one-sample t-test dependent samples t-test independent samples t-test ANOVA
