A company believes that it gains more than 30% of the total market share for ts products. To prove this belief, a random sample of 150 purchases of this product is contacted. In order to reject the null hypothesis at α= 0.05, out of 150 purchases, how many would need to purchase this company’s brand of the product

In 2022, the CDC reported that 12.5% of U.S. adults currently smoke cigarettes. From the same report, a random sample of 12,405 Ohioans was taken with 2543 being current smokers. Using α = 0.05, test whether the proportion of Ohioans that smoke cigarettes is different than the proportion of U.S. adults
A study of parental empathy for sensitivity cues and baby temperament (higher scores mean more empathy) was performed. Let x1 be a random variable that represents the score of a mother on an empathy test (as regards her baby). Let x2 be the empathy score of a father. A random sample of 33 mothers gave a sample mean of x1 = 69.72. Another random sample of 36 fathers gave x2 = 59.72. Assume that σ1 = 11.55 and σ2 = 11.45. Let μ1 be the population mean of x1 and let μ2 be the population mean of x2. Find a 99% confidence interval for μ1 – μ2. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) upper limit? lower limit?
In an early home game, an NBA team made 66 of their 100 free throw attempts. In one of theirlast home games, the team made 68 of 90 attempts. At α = .10, did the team significantlyimprove its free throw percentage (left-tailed test)?
At any age, about 20% of American adults participate in physical conditioning activities at least twice a week. However, these activities change as people get older, and occasionally participants cease to be older as they age. In a local survey of n = 100 adults over 40 years of age, a total of 15 people indicated that they participated in these activities at least twice a week. Does this data indicate that the percentage of participation for adults over 40 years of age is considerably less than the 20% figure? Find the p-value and use it to draw the appropriate conclusions.
2.24 Exit poll: Edison Research gathered exit poll results from several sources for the Wisconsin recall election of Scott Walker. They found that 53% of the respondents voted in favor of Scott Walker. Additionally, they estimated that of those who did vote in favor for Scott Walker, 33% had a college degree, while 44% of those who voted against Scott Walker had a college degree. Suppose we randomly sampled a person who participated in the exit poll and found that he had a college degree. What is the probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker?
The manager of the city pool has scheduled extra lifeguards to be on staff for Saturdays. However, he suspects that Fridays may be more popular than the other weekdays as well. If so, he will hire extra lifeguards for Fridays, too. In order to test his theory that the daily number of swimmers varies on weekdays, he records the number of swimmers each day for the first week of summer. Test the manager’s theory at the 0.01 level of significance. Swimmers at the City Pool Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Number 64 46 41 56 70 Copy Data Step 2 of 4 : Calculate the expected value for the number of swimmers on Tuesday.

An article indicated that the biggest issue facing e-retailers is the ability to turn browsers into buyers. The article stated that less than 10% of browsers buy something from a particular website. A SRS of 2000 browsers was taken of which 180 made a purchase. Let alpha = .10.
Xu and Garcia (2008)conducted a research study demonstrating that 8-month-old infants appear to recognize which samples are likely to be obtained from a population and which are not. In the study, the infants watched as a sample of n = 5 ping-pong balls was selected from a large box. In one condition, the sample consisted of 1 red ball and 4 white balls. After the sample was selected, the front panel of the box was removed to reveal the contents. In the expected condition, the box contained primarily white balls like the sample, and the infants looked at it for an average of M = 7.5 seconds. In the unexpected condition, the box had primarily red balls, unlike the sample, and the infants looked at it for M = 9.9. The researchers interpreted the results as demonstrating that the infants found the unexpected result surprising and, therefore, more interesting than the expected result. Assuming that the standard error for both means is σM = 1 second, draw a bar graph showing the two sample…

A cat-lover claims that cats are just as smart as dogs. In order to back this claim up with some evidence she organizes a study at a large local pet daycare center. A random sample of 40 cats are selected and a random sample of 40 dogs are selected. Each of the selected animals is given one hour with a trainer in which the trainer attempts to teach them to roll over. Upon conclusion of the training, the proportion of dogs and proportion of cats that have learned this skill is computed. The trainer reports that she is 90% confident that the true difference in the proportion of all dogs and all cats (pD – pC) that can learn this skill with one hour of training is between –0.05 to 0.28. Which of the following conclusions can be made based upon this confidence interval? (A) Because most of the values in the confidence interval are positive, this proves that dogs are smarter than cats. (B) Because the point estimate of the confidence interval is positive, there is convincing evidence…
Suppose we are developing a new drug that is supposed to improve the recovery time of an illness. We want to investigate if this is true. We conduct an experiment: we randomize twenty participants into two groups of size n = 10 each. In one group, we give the participants the drug. In the other group, we give them a placebo. We measure the recovery time of the participants in days. We observe the following data: • In the group given the drug, we observe recovery times (yı,..., Y10) = (15, 10, 13, 7,9, 8, 21,9, 14, 8), with ĝ1 = 11.4. • In the group given the placebo, we observe recovery times (yı1,..., Y20) = (15, 14, 12, 8, 14, 7, 16, 10, 15, 12) with j2 = 12.3. Assume that the data in each group follow Normal(µ1,0²) and Normal(42, o²) distributions respec- tively for the drug and placebo groups, o2 15. We want to test the following hypothesis: Ho : µ1 – 12 = 0 versus HA: µ1 – 42 < 0, using the test statistic T(Y) = Y1 – Ý2. a) Define the rejection region as {y : ĝı – 2 < c1} where ci…
