11. The Ericsson method is one of several methods claimed to increase the likelihood of a baby girl. In a clinical trial, results could be analyzed with a formal hypothesis test with the alternative hypothesis of p > 0.5, which corresponds to the claim that the method increases the likelihood of having a girl, so that the proportion of girls is greater than 0.5. If you have an interest in establishing the success of the method, which of the following P-values would you prefer: 0.999, 0.5, 0.95, 0.05, 0.01, 0.001? Why? The P-value of (1) is preferred because it corresponds to the sample evidence that most strongly supports the (2) hypothesis that the method (3) effective. (1) 0.05 0.001 (2) O null (3) O is not 0.999 O 0.5 O alternative Ois 0.95 0.01

Last year 46% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners conducted this year indicated that 35% plan to provide a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 60 business owners. For hypothesis: H0: p >= .46 ; Ha:p < .46 , compute the P-value that could be used to determine whether the proportion of business owners providing holiday gifts has decreased from last year.

Historically, the proportion of students entering a university who finished in 4 years or less was 65%. To test whether this proportion has decreased, 150 students were examined and 58% had finished in 4 years or less. At the 5% level of significance, does it appear the proportion has decreased from its historical level? To determine whether the proportion of students who finish in 4 year or less has statistically significantly decreased, what is the null and alternative hypothesis?
Generally speaking, would you say that most people can be trusted? A random sample of n1 = 257 people in Chicago ages 18-25 showed that r1 = 40 said yes. Another random sample of n2 = 281 people in Chicago ages 35-45 showed that r2 = 70 said yes. Does this indicate that the population proportion of trusting people in Chicago is higher for the older group? Use α = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? (b) What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p1 − p2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.)(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of voters who prefer Candidate A is significantly more than 0.57. You use a significance level of a = 0.001. Ho:p = 0.57 H1:p > 0.57 You obtain a sample of size n = 331 in which there are 211 successes.
A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 80%. After making some recent changes, the marriage counselor now claims that her program can prevent divorce in more than 80% of married couples. In a random sample of 215 married couples who completed her program, 180 of them stayed together. Based on this sample, is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. A. State the null hypothesis Hoand the alternative hypothesis H1. Ho: H1: B. Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) C. Find the critical value. (Round to three or more decimal places.) D. Is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor's claim that the proportion of married couples for whom her program…
Previously, 3% of mothers smoked more than 21 cigarettes during their pregnancy. An obstetrician believes that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 cigarettes or more is less than 3% today. She randomly selects 145 pregnant mothers and finds that 3 of them smoked 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy. Test the researcher's statement at the a = 0.1 level of significance. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Họ: P = 0.03 versus H4: p < 0.03 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Because npo (1- Po) =|| 10, the normal model V be used to approximate the P-value. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 79%.

Based on this sample, is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

Professor Nord stated that the mean score on the final exam from all the years he has been teaching is a 79%. Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the mean score of the population? What is the mean score of the sample? Is this test one-tailed or two-tailed? Why?
In a 2005 study 2205 adolescents aged 12 - 19 years old were give a treadmill test to check their cardiovascular health. 750 of the subjects were determined to have poor cardiovascular fitness. The researchers want to claim that more than 30% of adolescents have poor cardiovascular health (with a 5% level of significance). The research hypothesis is Ha:p>0.30. Find the test statistic, p-value, and state your conclusion.
