14. Gender Selection The Genetics and IVF Institute conducted a clinical trial of the YSORT method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a boy. As of this writing, 291 babies were born to parents using the YSORT method, and 239 of them were boys. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a boy.

Based on that information, determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Would this be a one-tailed hypothesis test or a two-tailed test?
Consider a drug testing company that provides a test for marijuana usage. Among 250 tested subjects, results from 28 subjects were wrong. (Either false positive or a false negative). Use 0.05 significance level to test the claim that less than 10% of the test results are wrong. A. Identify the bull and the alternative hypothesis for the test. B. Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test. C. Identify the P Value for this hypothesis test. D. Identify the conclusion for this hypothesis test
A. Look for the definitions of the following terms related to hypothesis testing. 1. Null Hypothesis 2. Level of Significance 3. Type I error
According to a recent report (based on historical data), 47% of college student internships are unpaid. A recent survey of 100 college interns at a local university found that 59 had unpaid internships. Follow the five-step p-value approach to hypothesis testing (see Chapter 9 Powerpoint slides #53 - 59 or e-text p. 339 - 340. Use a 0.10 level of significance to determine whether the proportion of college interns that had unpaid internships is different from 0.47. Part 1 Let π be the population proportion. Determine the null hypothesis, H0, and the alternative hypothesis, H1.(Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) A. H0 : μ = 0.47; H1 : μ ≠ 0.47 , because μ is always used in hypothesis testing B. H0 : π = 0.47; H1 : π ≠ 0.47, because the two hypotheses always use a known or likely to be true value for the population proportion C. H0 : π = 0.59; H1 : π ≠ 0.59, since we are trying to prove the sample proportion of 59100= 0.59 is really true D. H0 : π ≠…
In a(n) ________ test, the null hypothesis should be rejected when the test value is in either of the two critical regions. Explain.
An annual survey of first-year college students asks 276,000 students about their attitudes on a variety of subjects. According to a recent survey, 51% of first-year students believe that abortion should be legal. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that over half of all first-year students believe that abortion should be legal. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. .... A. Ho:p=0.5 O A. O B. Ho: p=0.5 Ha:p#0.5 Ha:p0.5 Find the test statistic. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Find the P-value for the found test statistic. P-value = |(Round to four decimal places as needed.) State the conclusion. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that over half of all first-year students believe that abortion should be legal. B. Do not reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that over half of all first-year students believe that abortion should be legal. C.…
In a volunteer group, adults 21 and older volunteer between 1 and 9 hours each week. The program includes people from a community college, a four-year college, and non-students. The leader of the group is interested in seeing if there is a relationship between the type of volunteer and the number of hours volunteered. She collected the following data below. Perform a hypothesis test to help her at 0.01 level of significance. 1-3 hours 4-6 hours 7-9 hours Community College Student 97 100 64 Four-Year College Student 99 128 55 Non-Student 99 138 41 What are the expected numbers? (round to 3 decimal places) 1-3 hours 4-6 hours 7-9 hours Community College Student Four-Year College Student Non-Student The hypotheses are H0:H0: The number of hours volunteered is independent of the type of volunteer. HA:HA: The number of hours volunteered is dependent of the type of volunteer.(claim) Since αα = 0.01 the critical value is 13.277 The test…
When asked what it means for the result of a hypothesis test to be practically significant (or practically important), Tatum says this means that the P-value is small and the null hypothesis has been rejected. what is wrong about this?
Which of the following terms describes when the null hypothesis is NOT rejected when it should be rejected? O Significance level, a Type I error Type II error p-Value Alternative hypothesis
A high p-value, such as 0.8, provides evidence to say the null hypothesis is true. This statement is true. O This statement is false.
a statistics instructor belives that fewer than 25% of NRCC students have a cable TV subcription and instead prefer streaming content. What is the correct NULL hypothesis for this scenario? a. p< .25 b. p< or equal to .25 c. p >.25 d. p > or equal to .25
When asked what it means for the result of a hypothesis test to be practically significant (or practically important), Tatum says this means that the P-value is small and the null hypothesis has been rejected. Why is Tatum wrong?
