The Elisa test for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS has been used in the screening of blood donations. As with most medical diagnostics test, the ELISA test is not infallible. If a person actually carries HIV, experts estimate that this test gives a positive result 97.7% of the time (the number is called the sensitivity of the test. If a person does not carry HIV ELISA gives a negative result 92.6% of the time. Suppose that 0.5% of the public carries HIV.
A substance abuse counselor wants to demonstrate the effect of situational stress on alcohol cravings. He recruits two groups of men who are similar in respect to history of alcohol use and demographic variables. He divides them in to two groups. In one group(n=11), the men are exposed to a stressful situation and then asked to complete a measure rating their alcohol cravings on a scale from 0-10, where 0 representsno cravings and 10 represents intense cravings. In the second group (n=10), the men are exposed to a neutral situation and asked to complete the same measure. What test and graph should I create to find out if a stressful situation result in more intense alcohol cravings than a non-stressful situation?
In 1990, 58% of Americans 18 years old and older reported they have a great deal of concern regarding air pollution. A recent poll found that 592 of 1004 Americans 18 years old or older stated that they have a great deal of concern regarding the level of air pollution in American. Is there evidence to conclude that the current proportion of Americans having a great deal of concern about the level of air pollution in America is different from the 1990 proportion, with a 10% level of significance? State the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, p-value and conclusion.
On Mary’s FACEBOOK page, there is a 42% chance that one of her friends will write on her wall. If she has 2400 “hits” on her page, can the probability that less than 1071 people write on her wall be modelled with a normal approximation? Explain/justify your answer.

According to Forbes, the average age of millionaires in the US 10 years ago was 62 years old. Since then, the number of millionaires in the US has grown to over 17 million. One prevalent belief among economists is that the average age of millionaires today has decreased from the average age of millionaires 10 years ago. To investigate this belief, a random sample of 50 millionaires from the US was selected and their ages were recorded. Here are the summary statistics. Based on this sample, is there convincing evidence that the true mean age of millionaires in the US is less than 62 years old? Use a = 0.01. Provide statistical evidence to support your answer.
Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?
A dietician read in a survey that 70.5% of adults in the U.S. do not eat breakfast at least 3 days a week. She believes that the proportion that skip breakfast 3 days a week is different than 0.705. To verify her claim, she selects a random sample of 71 adults and asks them how many days a week they skip breakfast.. 44 of them report that they skip breakfast at least 3 days a week. Test her claim at a = 0.10. The correct hypotheses would be: О Но:р 0.705 (claim) Но: р > 0.705 HA:p < 0.705 (claim) О Но: р — 0.705 HA:P + 0.705 (claim) Since the level of significance is 0.10 the critical value is 1.645 and -1.645 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places) The decision can be made to: O reject Ho O do not reject Ho The final conclusion is that: O There is enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion that skip breakfast 3 days a week is different than 0.705. O There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion that skip…

You are a medical researcher that wants to determine if your new drug can lower people's blood pressure. You recruit 60 participants with high blood pressure to be part of your study. You randomly assign participants to one of three groups to receive either 10 mg of your drug, 5 mg, or 0 mg (given as a placebo control). After 2 weeks, participants' blood pressure is measured and you compare among the 3 groups. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference in blood pressure among the three groups?
