3. Researchers would like to know, for women diagnosed with breast cancer in only one breast, is there a relationship between type of breast cancer a women is diagnosed with and whether they choose to have a single or double mastectomy. To answer, a random sample of 610 women diagnosed with breast cancer in only one breast was obtained. Of those diagnosed with Intraductal Carcinoma, 70 chose to have a single mastectomy while 45 chose to have a double mastectomy. Of the women diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, 120 chose to have a single mastectomy while 90 chose to have a double mastectomy. For the women diagnosed with Invasive Lobular Carcinoma, 75 opted to have a single mastectomy while 85 had a double mastectomy performed. For women diagnosed with Triple-Negative breast cancer, 40 chose to have a single mastectomy while 85 decided to have a double mastectomy. At the 5% significance level, what conclusion can be reached?

According to a study on the effects of smoking by pregnant women on rates of asthma in their children, for expectant mothers who smoke 20 cigarettes per day, 22.2% of their children developed asthma by the age of two in the US. A biology professor at a university would like to test if the percentage is different in another country. She randomly selects 319 women who only deliver one child and smoke 20 cigarettes per day during pregnancy in that country and finds that 82 of the children developed asthma by the age of two. In this hypothesis test, Do the hypothesis test. Use a level of significance of a = 0.05; Use the unrounded values in Excel to find the answers for #3 and #4 1. This is an example of 2. Find the standard error. 3. Find the z value. Question 10 V a hypothesis test.
The National Academy of Science reported that 41% of research in mathematics is published by US authors. The mathematics chairperson of a prestigious university wishes to test the claim that this percentage is no longer 41%. He has no indication of whether the percentage has increased or decreased since that time. He surveys a simple random sample of 186 recent articles published by reputable mathematics research journals and finds that 92 of these articles have US authors. Does this evidence support the mathematics chairperson’s claim that the percentage is no longer 41%? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

A random sample of n1 = 157 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and 12 were found to be high school dropouts. Another random sample of n2 = 129 people ages 16 to 19 were taken from Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and 6 were found to be high school dropouts. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of high school dropouts on Oahu is different (either way) from that of Sweetwater County? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? 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.)
For several decades, it was a common practice in Southern California for houses to be built with pools in the backyard (as any airplane flight which ends at a Southern California airport will reveal). Now, however, that practice may be changing, possibly because of the recent demand for landscaped homes, which experts believe help reduce pollution. A recent study examined a random sample of 167 houses built in Southern California between 1950 and 1985 and an independent, random sample of 80 houses built in Southern California from 1992 to the present. The sample of houses built in 1950-1985 contained 71 houses with pools, and the sample of houses built from 1992-present contained 31 houses with pools. Based on this survey, can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the proportion p1 of all Southern California houses built in 1950-1985 that were built with pools is greater than the proportion p2 of all Southern California houses built from…
The National Academy of Science reported that 33 % of research in mathematics is published by US authors. The mathematics chairperson of a prestigious university wishes to test the claim that this percentage is no longer 33 %. He has no indication of whether the percentage has increased or decreased since that time. He surveys a simple random sample of 280 recent articles published by reputable mathematics research journals and finds that 108 of these articles have US authors. Does this evidence support the mathematics chairperson's claim that the percentage is no longer 33 % ? Use a 0.01 level of significance.

It is believed that 11% of all Americans are left-handed. A college needs to know how many left-handed desks to place in the big lecture halls being constructed on its campus. In a random sample of 210 students from that college, whether or not a student was left-handed was recorded for each student. The college wants to know if the data provide enough evidence to show that students at this college have a different percentage of left-handers than the general American population? State the random variable, population parameter, and hypotheses. State the Type I and Type II errors in the context of this problem.a) The symbol for the random variable involved in this problem is The wording for the random variable in context is as follows: b) The symbol for the parameter involved in this problem is The wording for the parameter in context is as follows: c) Fill in the correct null and alternative hypotheses: H0:H0: HA:HA:…
Mammography and clinical breast examination are the two major techniques used to screen for breast cancer. However, as true for any screening test, they are not completely accurate. If it is determined, based on mammographic findings, that there is a possibility of breast cancer, this is usually confirmed or disconfirmed by a subsequent biopsy. A false positive test is a mammogram positive test that is disconfirmed by biopsy. The data in Table 1 were reported in a paper concerning breast cancer screening (Elmore, et al, New England Journal of Medicine 1998; 338(16): 1089-1096). Table 1 False positive breast cancer screening tests over a 10-year period # Screening tests # False positive tests 9762 631 1. Suppose 10 women are given mammograms. What is the probability that at least 1 woman will have a false positive test?
Researchers are interested in determining if there is a difference in the proportion of women who choose the different types of treatments for those diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DIS) breast cancer, which is a form of breast cancer that occurs in the Breast Ducts and has not spread. Following a diagnoses of DCIS, women can choose between three different treatment plans: a mastectomy or a lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy or a lumpectomy followed by Adjuvant Endocrine therapy. A random sample of 500 women diagnosed with DCIS breast cancer was obtained. Of the 500 women, 190 chose to have a mastectomy, 150 chose to have a lumpectomy followed by radiation, and 160 chose to have a lumpectomy followed by Adjuvant Endocrine therapy. At the 1% significance level, what conclusion can be reached?

The drug Finasteride is marketed as Propecia to help protect against male pattern baldness, and it also may protect against prostate cancer. A large sampleof healthy men over age 55 were randomly assigned to receive either a daily Finasteride pill or a placebo. The study lasted seven years and the men had annual check-ups and a biopsy at the end of the study. Prostate cancer was found in 804 of 4368 men taking Finasteride and in 1145 of the 4692 men taking a placebo. the 95% confidence interval for the risk difference is (-0.077, -0.043). Compared to this confidence interval, a 98% confidence interval for the risk difference is: a.) wider b.) there is not enough information provided to decide c.) half the width d.) the same width e.) narrower

A dowser has correctly located water for a well 1 out of 2 times in Jones County. In Jones County, someone who is just guessing has a 40% chance of locating water for a well. Does this sample provide sufficient evidence that the dowser can locate water and is not just guessing?
