A diagnostic test for disease X correctly identifies the disease 90% of the time. Flase positives occur 12%. It is estimated that 5.36% of the population suffers from disease X. Suppose the test is applied to a random individual from the population. What is the percentage chance that given a negative result, the person does not have disease X? What is the percentage chance that, the person will be misclassified?

Suppose you did an experiment with 3 groups and 16 subjects per group. The sample variances in the three groups were 14, 16, and 18. Using Tukey's test to compare the means, what would be the two-tailed probability for a comparison of the first mean (14) with the last mean (18)?

The personality variable extraversion is normally distributed in the population and has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 2. Researchers consider individuals who are 1 standard deviation above the mean “highly” extroverted. What is the probability that you can randomly sample 3 people from the population and all 3 would be “highly” extroverted?

One personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. After taking the test and seeing your score for this subsection, you're interested in the mean score, µ, among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that u is 148, but you believe that u is greater than 148. You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is 155 and that the standard deviation of their scores is 28. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H,) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? H: u is ? |H;: µ is ? ? In the context of this test, what is a Type I error? A Type I error is ? fact, u is ? v the hypothesis that u is ? v? v. when, in Suppose that you decide to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might you be making? ?
A credit score is used by credit agencies (such as mortgage companies and banks) to assess the creditworthiness of individuals. Values range from 300 to 850, with a credit score over 700 considered to be a quality credit risk. According to a survey, the mean credit score is 710.6. A credit analyst wondered whether high-income individuals (incomes in excess of $100,000 per year) had higher credit scores. He obtained a random sample of 48 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 723.6 with a standard deviation of 81.2. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high-income individuals have higher credit scores at the a = 0.10 level of significance. Click the icon to view the table of critical t-values.

Dementia is the loss of the intellectual and social abilities severe enough to interfere with judgment, behavior, and daily functioning. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia. Researchers explored the experience and struggles of people diagnosed with dementia and their families. Research has shown that the mean age at diagnosis of all people with early-onset dementia is 55 years, and the population standard deviation is 6.8 years.yt What is the probability a single person will be diagnosed with early-onset dementia is less than 50 years? Do we know if the sample mean of samples of size 20 is normally distributed or not? Explain.
