A company has just developed a new antibiotic. 2 percent of children taking competing antibiotics experience a headache as a side effect. A researcher believes that the proportion of children taking the new antibiotic who experience a headache as a side effect is more than 0.02. We know that the null hypothesis is H0 : p = 0.02 and the alternative hypothesis is H1 : p > 0.02. Suppose that the sample evidence indicates that a. the null hypothesis is rejected. State the conclusion. b. the null hypothesis is not rejected. State the conclusion.

Has the Percentage of U.S. Adults Who Smoke Decreased since 2007? With data from the 2005-2007 National Health Interview Survey, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that about 20% of U.S. adults (18 and older) smoke. Is the percentage lower this year? Suppose we select a random sample of 100 adults (18 and older) this year. The conditions are met for use of a normal model, because we expect 20 smokers (20% of 100) in the sample and 80 nonsmokers. Both expected counts are greater than 10, so we use a z-score and a standard normal curve to assess the evidence. (The standard error is 0.04.) Suppose that 15 in our sample of 100 are smokers. Which conclusion is supported by the data? We cannot conclude that the percentage of U.S. adults (18 and older) who smoke is less than 20% this year. We can conclude that the percentage of U.S. adults (18 and older) who smoke is less than 20% this year. Incorrect. You are right that the percentage in the sample is 15% and this is…
A therapist would like to evaluate an intervention for treating depression. A sample of n = 20 depressed clients is obtained, and each person’s level of depression is measured using a standardized questionnaire before they begin the therapy program. Two weeks after therapy, each client’s level of depression is measured again. The average level of depression dropped by 4.0 points following therapy. The difference scores had a variance of 64. Identify and Cclculate the appropriate test statistic.Make sure to report the degrees of freedom for the statistical test (if appropriate). You must show your work to receive full credit. State your conclusions (use a two-tailed test with a = .05 for all tests). Compute an effect size.
9B: A publisher reports that 36% of their readers own a laptop. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that the percentage is actually less than the reported percentage. A random sample of 320 found that 30% of the readers owned a laptop. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to support the executive's claim? Step 5: Identify the value of the level of significance. Step 6: Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Step 7:
Suppose data shows that only 50% of breast cancer patients can survive more than 5 years. You suspect the percentage is too low, so you'd like to conduct a study to examine this situation. What is the null and alternative hypothesis in this situation?
If a treatment is expected to decrease scores on a variable for which the mean is expected to be µ = 50, what is the null hypothesis?
The Gallup Poll asked 1015 U.S. adults whether they believed that people should pay sales tax on items purchased over the internet. Of these, 477 said they supported such a tax. Does the survey provide convincing evidence that less than 42% of U.S. adults favor an internet sales tax? Use the 0.05 level of significance. 1. STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS: 2. T STATISTIC/ P VALUE 3.REJECT OR FAIL THE NULL HYPOTHESIS 4. IS THE CLAIM SUPPORTED AT THE 0.05 LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE?
A researcher is wondering whether the drinking habits of adults in a certain region of a country are different than those in the general adult population. Suppose a recent study states that the proportion of adults in the general population who reported drinking once a week or less in the last month is 0.26. The null hypothesis for this test is p = 0.26 and the alternative hypothesis is p+ 0.26. The researcher collected data from 150 surveys he handed out at a busy park located in the region. Are the conditions for proceeding with a one-proportion z-test satisfied? If not, which condition is not satisfied? O a. Conditions are not satisfied; the researcher did not collect a random sample. O b. Conditions are not satisfied; the population of interest is not large enough to assume independence. Oc. Conditions are not satisfied; the sample size is not large enough. O d. All conditions are satisfied.
The city manager measures response times by looking at the proportion of calls for which paramedics arrived within 8 minutes. Last year, paramedics arrived on scene 75% of the time within 8 minutes. The city manager wants to determine whether they have done significantly better this year. State appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for the city manager to test. Describe a Type I and Type II error in this setting. Explain the consequences of each type of error. Which is more serious: a Type I error or a Type II error? Justify your answer
Suppose a hypothesis test was performed with a level of significance of 0.05. Then if the null hypothesis is actually true, then there is a 5% chance that the researcher will end up rejecting the null hypothesis in error. True False
Historically, the proportion of students entering a university who finished in 4 years or less was 65%. To test whether this proportion has decreased, 150 students were examined and 58% had finished in 4 years or less. At the 5% level of significance, does it appear the proportion has decreased from its historical level? To determine whether the proportion of students who finish in 4 year or less has statistically significantly decreased, what is the null and alternative hypothesis?
A random sample of 60 trials resulted in 18 successes. List the null and alternate hypothesis if you were to test the claim that the population proportion exceeds 20% at an ?=0.01.
