A coin manufacturer claims that he has produced a biased coin with P(H) = 0.4 and P(T) = 0.6 where P(H) denotes the probability of the coin landing on heads and P(T) denotes the probability of the coin landing on tails. Brad takes this coin and tosses it 10 times. He obtains heads on the first 8 tosses and tails on the last two tosses. He decides to do a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence to reject the manufacturer’s claim. Which one of the following statements should he adopt as his null hypothesis? 1) P(H) = 0.4 2) P(H) = 0.6 3) P(H) = 0.8 4) P(H) = 0.2 5) P(H) = 0.5

A hospital director is told that 33% of the emergency room visitors are uninsured. The director wants to test the claim that the percentage of uninsured patients is under the expected percentage. A sample of 200 patients found that 50 were uninsured. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis at the 0.10 evel.
You conduct a poll of FIU students in order to determine the percentage of students (p) who agree with the statement “Hot-dogs are one of my favorite foods”. In your poll, you find that 80 out of 100 students agree. You conduct a two-sided hypothesis test where H0: p = 0.7, where p is the proportion of students whose favorite food is hot dogs. Which of the following statements are true: I. You reject the null hypothesis when α = 0.05 II. You reject the null hypothesis when α = 0.01 III. The test statistic (Z) equals Z = +1.5 Group of answer choices II only
A gambler simulates 20 plays of a card game, wins 1 time, and estimates P(winning) = 1/20 = 0.05 He then simulates 5,000 plays of the game, wins 450 times, and estimates P(winning) = 450/5,000 = 0.09 Which estimate, 0.05 or 0.09 is probably closer to the true theoretical probability and why? A. 0.05 because it's a smaller number B. 0.09 because the Law of Large Numbers says that the larger the number trials, the better the estimate of the probability C. 0.05 because the Law of Small Numbers says that the smaller the number trials, the better the estimate of the probability D. Both are equally close
The probabiltity that a person selected at random from a population will exhibit the classic symptom of disease A is 0.2, and the probability that a person selected at random has disease A is 0.23. The probability that a person who has the symptom also has disease A is 0.18. If a person selected at random from the population does have the symptoms, what is the probability that they have disease A?
could you please help me solve for the chi squared statistic, corresponding p value, and the bottom two questions about the null hypothesis?
Suppose you were selected from a population at random to take a medical test. It is believed that there is a 5% chance that you are ill (i.e. you have the disease), since that is the disease prevalence for asymptomatic people like yourself. Suppose that the test you take has some error rate. If you are ill, it will correctly identify you as positive 90% of the time. If you not ill, it will give a false positive 2% of the time. What is probability that you are ill given a positive test result?
For several years, a political party has had 38% support among the population of potential voters. However, the party has recently changed its branding, and the party leadership wishes to know whether support for the party has changed. A random sample of voters is selected, and each person in the sample is asked whether he or she supports the party. Using the results, a hypothesis test is performed in order to find out whether there is convincing evidence of a change in the level of support for the party. A standardized z statistic is used, and a p-value is calculated. The p value is... (be sure to read the options below carefully...) a) the probability that support for the party has changed. b) the probability of getting the z statistic calculated in the study, given that support for the party has not changed. c) the probability of getting a z statistic at least as far from zero as the one in the study, given that support for the party has not changed. d) the probability that…
It has recently been claimed that 25% of adults consider spring to be their favorite season of the year. A researcher is skeptical of this claim and believes this percentage is too low. She surveys a random of 1,000 adults and finds that 390 of these adults consider spring to be their favorite season of the year. As she prepares to conduct a hypothesis test, the researcher writes out her alternative hypothesis as “p < 0.25.” What is wrong with this? The alternative hypothesis should be “p > 0.39.” The alternative hypothesis should be “p < 0.39.” The alternative hypothesis should be “p > 0.25.” The alternative hypothesis should be “p = 0.25.” Nothing is wrong with the given alternative hypothesis.
A sample is selected from a population with a mean of m = 30 and a treatment is administered to the sample. If the treatment is expected to increase scores and a t statistic is used for a one-tailed hypothesis test, then which of the following is the correct null hypothesis?
In a recent Super Bowl, a TV network predicted that 73 % of the audience would express an interest in seeing one of its forthcoming television shows. The network ran commercials for these shows during the Super Bowl. The day after the Super Bowl, and Advertising Group sampled 58 people who saw the commercials and found that 43 of them said they would watch one of the television shows.Suppose you are have the following null and alternative hypotheses for a test you are running:H0:p=0.73H0:p=0.73Ha:p>0.73Ha:p>0.73Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 3 decimal places

If you play roulettes and bet on 'red' the probability that you win is 18/38 = .4737. People often repeat this between several times. We can consider each time we play a 'trial' and consider it a success when we win, so p = 18/38 or (.4737) and q = 20/38 or (.5263). Suppose that Caryl always places the same bet when she plays roulette, $5 on 'red'. Caryl might play just once, or might play several times. She has a profit (having won $5 more times than she lost $5) if she wins more than half of the games she plays. -when you play 401 times, p is the proportion of those 401 games that you win. You'll profit (winning more than you lose) if you win more than half of your bets p > .5000. c) what is the mean or expected value of p? d) what is the standard deviation of p? e) assume that the distribution of p is Normal and find the probability that Caryl will have a profit if she plays 401 times. show your work or calculator input and round your answer to four decimal places
