A medical researcher says that less than 77% of adults in a certain country think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated. In a random sample of 600 adults in that country, 73% think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated. At a=0.05, is there enough evidence to support the researcher's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) below.

The National Cancer Institute conducted a 2-year study to determine whether cancer death rates for areas near nuclear power plants are higher than for areas without nuclear facilities. A spokesperson for the Cancer Institute said, "From the data at hand, there was no convincing evidence of any increased risk of death from any of the cancers surveyed due to living near nuclear facilities." Let p denote the proportion of the population in areas near nuclear power plants who die of cancer during a given year. The researchers at the Cancer Institute have considered the null and alternative hypotheses below: А. Họ: p = value for areas without nuclear facilities Hạ: p> value for areas without nuclear facilities According to the spokesperson's statement, what is the conclusion of the National Cancer Institute? Select one of the following: Reject Ho Fail to reject Ho Reject Ha Fail to reject Ha
A random sample of 1026 adults in a certain large country was asked "Do you pretty much think televisions are a necessity or a luxury you could do without?" Of the 1026 adults surveyed, 533 indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. (a) Obtain a point estimate for the population proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without. A p= (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Is there an association between daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students? Mia selects a random sample of 123 high school students and categorizes them into 1 of 3 categories of screen time and whether they exercise. She would like to determine if there is convincing evidence of an association. Let = 0.05. What are the hypotheses for this test? H0: There is an association between daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students.Ha: There is no association between daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students.H0: There is no association between daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students.Ha: There is an association between daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students.H0: There is no difference in the distribution of daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students.Ha: There is a difference in the distribution of daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students.H0: There is a…
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA, 2017) estimates that 10.9% of the population of the United States age 18–24 had an episode of depression in the previous 12 months. Suppose a researcher takes a random sample of 225 United States adults aged 18–24. Determine the value of the sample proportion, p, such that 5% of samples of 225 United States adults age 18–24 are greater than p. You may find software or a z-table useful. Give your answer precise to three decimal places. p = II
Katie is interested if an association exists between age and sleep habits. She selects a random sample of 68 adults in three age groups and determines whether they sleep less than 7 hours, between 7 and 8 hours, or more than 8 hours each night.

H0: There is an association between age and sleep habits.Ha: There is no association between age and sleep habits.

A local high school makes a change that should improve student satisfaction with the parking situation. Before the change, 37% of the school's students approved of the parking that was provided. After the change, the principal surveys an SRS of 200 from the more than 2500 students at the school. In all, 83 students say that they approve of the new parking arrangement. The principal cites this as evidence that the change was effective. Which of the following is not true regarding Type I and Type II errors in this setting? O A Type I error occurs if you find convincing evidence that more than 37% of students were satisfied with the new parking arrangement, when in reality only 37% were satisfied. O A Type Il error occurs if you do not find convincing evidence that more than 37% are satisfied with the new parking arrangement, when in reality more than 37% are satisfied. O A possible consequence of a Type I error is the principal believes that students are satisfied and takes no further…

Researchers have noted a decline in cognitive functioning as people age (Bartus, 1990). However, the results from other research suggest that the antioxidants in foods such as blueberries may reduce and even reverse these age-related declines (Joseph et al., 1999). To examine this phenomenon, suppose that a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 adults who are between the ages of 65 and 75. The researcher uses a standardized test to measure cognitive performance for each individual. The participants then begin a 2-month program in which they receive daily doses of a blueberry supplement. At the end of the 2-month period, the researcher again measures cognitive performance for each participant. The results show an average increase in performance of MD = 7.4 with SS = 1215. Does this result support the conclusion that the antioxidant supplement has a significant effect on cognitive performance? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. Show your computations.

A poll asked 998 adults "If purchasing a used car made certain upgrades or features more affordable, what would be your preferred luxury upgrade? The results indicated that 8% of the males and 15% of the females answered window tinting. The poll description did not state the sample sizes of males and females. Suppose that both sample sizes were 499 and that 41 of 499 males and 75 of 499 females reported window tinting as their preferred luxury upgrade of choice. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Is there evidence of a difference between males and females in the proportion who said they prefer window tinting as a luxury upgrade at the 0.05 level of significance? Let group 1 be the males, and let group 2 be the females. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. OA. Ho: 1 ₂ Н1:1 > 12 OC.
