A coin is flipped 10 times. What is the empirical proability of getting tails? Suppose someone doubts this is fair coin, so they repeat the experiment, and get that this time there are 2 tails and 8 heads. What can be concluded about the tthis coin?

A medical research team wanted to perform a statistical inference procedure to see if there is a difference in the proportion of people that report headache pain relief within 30 minutes of taking either acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Volunteers that suffer from regular headaches were split into two groups: one who took acetaminophen at the onset of a headache and one group that took ibuprofen. Which of the following would be an appropriate null hypothesis for an inference test see if there is a difference between the two medications? (where A stands for acetaminophen users and I stands for ibuprofen users) A Ho: PA - Pr = 0 В Ho: PA-Pr = 0 C Ho: PA-Pr # 0 Ho: PA-Pr>0
Are freshmen psychology majors less likely to change their major before they graduate compared to freshmen business majors? 355 of the 641 freshmen psychology majors from a recent study changed their major before they graduated and 404 of the 674 freshmen business majors changed their major before they graduated. What can be concluded at the = 0.05 level of significance? For this study, we should use Select an answer a.

"Tiger Woods uses Titleist brand golf clubs" the salesperson says to me. He promises me that my game will improve if I buy the expensive Titleist clubs which are, after all, endorsed by Tiger. But I am a smart consumer, and rather than wasting money on expensive clubs, I first want to know if they work. So, I borrow the Titleist clubs and have 5 randomly selected golfers use them, recording their scores. I also have 6 other randomly selected golfers use my old clubs. Using the data below and the steps of hypothesis testing, test the salesperson's claim that the Titleist clubs will produce a lower score than my clubs (lower is better). Set a = .05. (Note that the scores and scores-squared have already been summed for you at the bottom. Titleist (X) 92 98 108 102 91 EX=491 X² 8464 9604 11664 10404 8281 2 X2 = 48417 Old Clubs (Y) 104 100 101 99 97 99 ΣΥ = 600 Y² 10816 10000 10201 9801 9409 9801 ΣΥ2 = 60028

Your company uses a pre employment of the test to screen applicants for the job of repairman.the test is passed by 60%of the applicants.Among those who pass the test 80% complete training successfully. In an experiment,a random sample of applicant who do not pass the test is also employed. Training is successfully completed by only 50%of this group.if no pre Employment test is used,what percentage of applicants would you expect to complete training successfully?
According to the Pew Research Center, 14% of adults rate basketball as their favorite sport. Your boss believes the proportion may be lower among adults over age 65, and wants you to collect evidence to see if this is true. You take a survey of adults over age 65, and only 12 out of 120 of them rate basketball as their favorite sport. You would like to set �=0.05. Your boss tells you that your firm will base some expensive decisions on the results of your hypothesis test, so a higher standard of evidence for rejecting the null hypothesis is needed. What should you do? Group of answer choices Keep the significance level the same but collect more data Increase the significance level to 10% Reduce the significance level to 1% Throw out observations that look suspicious thanks
You find a coin in the street and are flipping it while walking away. You happen to look at the outcomes of your coin flips and notice heads is showing up more than you think it should. After 10 flips, the coin has landed on heads 8 of the 10 flips. Deciding you need more data, you flip the coin 25 more times and it lands heads up 18 times. You have now flipped the coin 35 times, 26 of which have landed heads. You are still surprised of these results, so you decide to flip the coin 100 more times and record the data. This time, the coin landed heads up 75 times. Now, you flip your coin 135 times, and it lands heads up 101 times. Are you convinced that the coin you have found is weighted, meaning that it favors one outcome over the other? Why? What is the name of the property of probability shown in the previous example? (continuous probability, discrete probability, law of averages, law of large numbers)
College Board, the company that runs AP testing, wants to expand access to AP courses. Some schools require that students takethe AP exam at the end of the course while others leave the AP exam as optional. A random sample of 200 students from schoolswhere AP exams are required had 84 students currently enrolled in at least one AP course. Another random sample of 190students from schools where the AP exam is optional had 98 students currently enrolled in at least one AP course.(a) College Board want to test the claim that requiring the AP exam lowers the proportion of students who enroll in at least oneAP course. Carry out a test of this claim at the 5% level of significance. (b) Based on your decision in part (a), what error may have been made, a Type I or Type II error? Give a consequence of thaterror. (c) Interpret the p-value from part (a) in the context of this question.
A social psychologist hypothesized that a white person is more likely to cooperate with another person than a black person in a task requiring cooperation (this would be considerate an alternative hypothesis). To test this idea he conducted an experiment in which white subjects either worked on a task with a white person or black person (both of these “others” were confederates of the experimenter). Thirty-one subjects were randomly assigned to the “white-other” treatment (say this is treatment 1) and 31 were randomly assigned to the “black-other” treatment (this is treatment 2). If the mean cooperation scores, on a scale from 0 to 20, were 14 for those subjects in the “white-other” treatment and 12 for those in the “black-other” treatment, run an appropriate test to test the social psychologist’s hypothesis. Let us further say that the variance for the cooperation measure for the “white-other” treatment was = 2.48 and the variance for the “black-other” treatment was = 2.52. Use =0.05…
Moral judgments about a harmful behavior are expected to be associated with one’s ability to recognize how hurt the victim of the harmful behavior is. To test this a replication of the Malti and colleagues (2012) was attempted. Researchers asked 12- and 15-year-olds whether they thought it was okay to exclude a Serbian peer from going to a soccer match (1 = really not okay, 7 = really okay) and how they thought the Serbian peer would feel if he/she was not invited to the soccer match (1= very bad, 7 = very good). The results for 12 of these adolescents are below: 1. Find the correlation, r, between exclusion judgments and evaluations of the victim’s feelings (assuming the researcher wanted to use the 1 to 7 scale as a numerical interval score). Q: r= ? 2. Describe this correlation and what does this correlation indicate about the relation between exclusion judgments and evaluations of the victim’s feelings?
The coach of a basketball team thinks the referee is using a weighted coin to decide which team gets the ball. He looks at the last 140 coin tosses and observes that there were 85 heads and 55 tails. Answer the following questions. (1) What is the null hypothesis? The observed frequency is not different than the expected frequency, meaning that the coin is biased The observed frequency is not different than the expected frequency, meaning that the coin is fair. The observed frequency is different than the expected frequency, meaning that the coin is fair. The observed frequency is different than the expected frequency, meaning that the coin is biased. (2) What is the calculated value of chi-square? (3) How many degrees of freedom are there? (4) Assuming alpha is equal to .05, what is the critical value? (5) What is your decision? Fail to reject the null and decide that the coin is fair. Fail to reject the null and decide that the coin is biased. Reject the null and decide that…
Using the proper symbols, write the null and alternative hypotheses for each scenario below. a) A very large study showed that aspirin reduced the rate of first heart attacks by 44%. A pharmaceutical company thinks they have a drug that will be more effective than aspirin and plans to do a randomized clinical trial to test the new drug. b) In the 1950’s, only about 40% of high school graduates went on to college. Has the percentage changed?
