A health organization has been concerned with the birth weights of newborns. They offered a program for at-risk mothers targeted to increase birth weights. The population average weight prior to the program was 5.75 pounds. Ho: H=5.75 Ha: H>5.75 Suppose the results of their testing lead to rejection of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion as: correct, Type I error or Type Il error, if in fact the weight has not increased.

Medical research has shown that repeated wrist extensions beyond 20 degrees increase the risk of wrist and hand injuries. Each of 24 students at a university used a proposed new computer mouse design, and while using the mouse, each student's wrist extension was recorded.

(25.294 x 26.706 (b) What assumptions are required in order for it to be appropriate to generalize your estimate to the population of students at this university? No, we cannot generalize the estimate to any population as we have less than 30 students.

As part of an investigation into motorway accidents in Greater Manchester, it was hypothesised that weather conditions were an important factor. Research revealed that in wet weather the M61, M62 and M63 experienced 32, 272 and 96 accidents. In dry weather, the figures were 32, 281 and 30. i. Formulate null and alternative hypothesis for this test ii. Calculate the chi-squared statistic iii. State the degrees of freedom in this case. iv. Test the chi-square statistic at 1% level and state your conclusions in everyday language.

In their advertisements, a new diet program would like to claim that their methods result in a mean weight loss of more than ten pounds in two weeks. In order to determine if this is a valid claim, they hire an independent testing agency that then selects twenty-five people to be placed on this diet. Which of the following is the correct hypotheses? a Ho: μ- 10 Ha: μ > 10 Ho: u > 10 Ha: u = 10 Ho: U = 10 Ha: u < 10 O d Ho: p = 10 Ha: u+ 10
A small pilot study is conducted to investigate the effect of a nutritional supplement on total body weight. Six participants agree to take the nutritional supplement. To assess its effect on body weight, weights are measured before starting the supplementation and then after 6 weeks. The data are shown below. Is there a significant increase in body weight following supplementation? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Demonstrate the five steps for hypothesis testing and explain your results. Subject Initial Weight Weight after 6 Weeks 1 155 157 2 142 145 3 176 180 4 180 175 5 210 209 6 125 126
A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Five hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%. Calculate the predictive value of a positive test.
The effectiveness of surgery for weight loss reported here found that "The surgery was associated with significantly greater weight loss [than the control group who dieted] through 2 years (61.3 versus 11.2 pounds, P<0.001)." What test could have been used and how would it have been computed?
Mark performed a two-sample z-test for proportions to test the hypothesis that there was no difference in the proportion who support increasing student fees between male and female students at a particular university. Mark obtained a z-statistic of 0. Based on this information, which of the following is always true. The sample proportions for male and females will be the same as the hypothesized proportions for male and female students at this university. The sample proportions for both male and female students at this university will be 0. All male and female students in the sample will feel the same way about supporting the increase in student fees. The sample proportions will be the same for both male and female students at this university. Test whether p1>p2 The sample data are x1=116,n1=258,x2=135,n2=311.
