5. A researcher examined the folklore that women can predict the sex of their unborn child better than chance (50-50) would suggest. She asked 104 pregnant women to predict the sex of their unborn child, and 57 guessed correctly. Using this data, the researcher conducted a test at 5% significance level. a) What is the parameter of interest? b) State a null Ho and alternative hypothesis Ha- c) What is the observed value?

As winter is here and I love planting my winter garden. I have planted my winter vegetables ( Broccoli, Artichoke, Cauliflower, ect.), on average 10 neighbors plant a garden during winter. I asked 20 neighbors of they were going to plant their winter gardens and 12 of them said yes. Test this hypothesis at .05 significance level. Assume a random sample.
A concerned group of citizens wanted to know if the proportion of armed robberies in Texas was different in 2011 than in 2010. Their research showed that of the 113,231 violent crimes in Texas in 2010, 7,622 of them were armed robberies. In 2011, 7,439 of the 104,873 violent crimes were in the armed robbery category. Test at a 5% significance level.a) The null and alternative hypothesis would be: �0:�2010=�2011�1:�2010≠�2011 �0:�2010=�2011�1:�2010<�2011 �0:�2010=�2011�1:�2010≠�2011 �0:�2010=�2011�1:�2010>�2011 �0:�2010=�2011�1:�2010>�2011 �0:�2010=�2011�1:�2010<�2011 b) Determine the test statistic.

According to a report, 52.3% of murders are committed with a firearm. (a) If 100 murders are randomly selected, how many would we expect to be committed with a firearm? (b) Would it be unusual to observe 56 murders by firearm in a random sample of 100 murders? Why? (a) We would expect to be committed with a firearm. (b) Choose the correct answer below. O A. No, because 56 is between u - 20 and u + 20. O B. Yes, because 56 is greater than + 20. C. No, because 56 is greater than u + 20. D. No, because 56 is less than u - 20. O E. Yes, because 56 is between u -2o and + 20.
Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored candies, 22% of them are blue. The candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 30%. Use a 0.10 significance level to test that claim. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: p=0.3 H₁: p=0.3 O B. Ho: p=0.3 H₁: p=0.3 C. Ho: p=0.3 H₁: p>0.3 O D. Ho: p=0.3 H₁: p<0.3 Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test. The test statistic for this hypothesis test is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Identify the P-value for this hypothesis test. The P-value for this hypothesis test is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Identify the conclusion for this hypothesis test. A. Reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 30% B. Reject Ho. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 30% O C. Fail to…
In a clinical trial of a drug intended to help people stop smoking, 125 subjects were treated with the drug for 12 weeks, and 14 subjects experienced abdominal pain. If someone claims that more than 8% of the drug's users experience abdominal pain, that claim is supported with a hypothesis test conducted with a 0.05 significance level. Using 0.17 as an alternative value of p, the power of the test is 0.95. Interpret this value of the power of the test. The power of 0.95 shows that there is a % chance of rejecting the hypothesis of p = when the true proportion is actually That is, if the proportion of users who experience abdominal pain is actually then there is a % chance of supporting the claim that the proportion of than 0.08. users who experience abdominal pain is (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)
In 2011, a U.S. Census report determined that 71% of college students work. A researcher thinks this percentage has changed since then. A survey of 110 college students reported that 91 of them work. Is there evidence to support the reasearcher's claim at the 1% significance level? a) Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: P = Ha:p Select an answer 2 = b) Determine the test statistic. Round to two decimals. c) Find the p-value. Round to 4 decimals. P-value = d) Make a decision. (Put in the correct symbol and value) O Fail to reject the null hypothesis Reject the null hypothesis e) Write the conclusion. O There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the percentage of college students who work is different than 71%.
2. A study performed in 2010 found that 4% of people with asthma have aspirin sensitivity. A hospital suspects that the percentage may actually be higher and tests a random sample of 310 asthma patients in controlled conditions.

At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that more than 4% of all asthma patients have aspirin sensitivity. a. State the i. Claim in words ii. Express the claim mathematically iii. What is the Null Hypothesis iv. What is the Alternative Hypothesis b. Which test procedure is appropriate to perform the required hypothesis test? c) Compute the value of the test statistic. d) What is the P-Value. Please round your P -value to three decimal places. P-Value = e) Should you reject the null hypotheses or not? f) What is your conclusion about the hypothesis test?
