3. Ultrasound can be used to diagnose acute appendicitis in patients fronting with abdominal pain. In positive diagnoses, the appendix is usually surgically removed as appendicitis can be potentially life threatening. However, an incorrect diagnosis can lead to the removal of a normal appendix although the body can function normally without one. (a) Create a binary classification table for the ultrasonic appendicitis test described in the information sheet. Assume a sample population of 1000 people fronting with abdominal pain. Ensure that you carefully explain the steps involved in creating the table.

From the table on the image: Construct an appropriate hypothesis test to determine whether or not there is an association between experiencing phenomena such as seeing a ghost and the age group you are in. Write the appropriate null/alternative hypothesis and carry out the test. Use a significance level of α = 0.01.
A poll in one country indicated that 48% favor imposing the death penalty (the country currently does not have it). The poll did not report the sample size but stated, "Polls of this size are considered to be accurate to within 2.3 percentage points 99% of the time." About how large was the sample size?
In a study, a random sample of 20 adults rated the effectiveness of advertisements. Each adult rated an advertisement that lasted 30 or 60 seconds. The block design in the accompanying table shows these ratings (on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being extremely effective). Use a = 0.05 and a technology tool and the given block design to perform a two-way ANOVA test. Click the icon to view the block design and ratings. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses for the main effects. Select all that apply. O A. Ho: The length of the ad has no effect on the rating. B. Ho: The rating has no effect on the advertising medium. Ha: The rating has an effect on the advertising medium. Ha: The length of the ad has an effect on the rating. O c.

Reports show that 92% of online searches in March 2021 use Google as the search engine. A network administrator wants to determine whether the percentage of searches that use Google is different in their company. They sample 800 searches and find that 758 of them use Google. Can they conclude that the percentage of searches that use Google in this company differs from 92%? Use the a = 0.05 level of significance.
A study compared tooth health and periodontal damage in a group of 40 young adult males with a tongue piercing and a control group of 50 young adult males without tongue piercing. Here are the summary statistics: Group Sample size Mean of enamel cracks StDev of enamel cracks Tongue piercing 40 4.1 3.7 No Tongue piercing 50 1.3 1.6 One question of interest was whether individuals with tongue piercing had more enamel cracks, on average. Is there evidence at 1% level that young adult males with a tongue piercing have significantly more enamel cracks than young adult males without a tongue piercing? Which method will you use to perform the test? Choose the correct one. 1-sample T test 2-sample T test 2-sample Z test. 2-proportion Z test Which distribution will you use here? If you use t distribution, give the degree of freedom. If you use z or normal, give the mean and standard deviation.
To examine the effect of relaxing music on math test performance, a researcher wants to compare the average math test scores of participants who completed the test with relaxing music to performance of participants who completed the same math test without music. The partially computed data collected in the study are shown below: Math Test with Music: Math Test without Music: n1 = 16 n2 = 12 M1 = 82 M2 = 78 SS1 = 150 SS2 = 140 Based on these results, is there a significant effect of relaxing music on math test performance?

The General Social Survey (GSS) collects data on demographics, eduction and work, among many other characteristics of US residents. Suppose we want to estimate the difference between the average number of hours worked by all Americans with a college degree and those without a college degree. Is there sufficient evidence that there is a significant difference between the average number of hours worked by those Americans with a college degree vs. those Americans without a college degree?

A poll was conducted to investigate opinions about global warming. The respondents who answered yes when asked if there is solid evidence that the earth is getting warmer were then asked to select a cause of global warming. The results are given in the accompanying data table. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sex of the respondent is independent of the choice for the cause of global warming.

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.
An investigation is performed to evaluate two new experimental treatments for allergies. 18 subjects who suffer from allergies are enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to one of three treatments: Control Group, Experimental Treatment 1, or Experimental Treatment 2. Each subject is instructed to take the assigned treatment, and symptoms of allergies are recorded on a scale of 1 to 20, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms. The data is summarized in the table below: SBP Std. Deviation Group Mean Control Treatment 6. 16.17 2.483 Experimental Treatment 1 6. 11.33 1.966 Experimental Treatment 6. 3.83 1.472 Total 18 10.44 5.554 Use this data to complete an ANOVA table to test for a significant difference in the means of each of the groups.
