A new, simple test has been developed to detect a particular type of cancer. The test must be evaluated before it is put into use. A medical researcher selects a randomsample of 2,000 adults and finds (by other means) that 3% have this type of cancer. Each of the 2,000 adults is given the test, and it is found that the test indicatescancer in 97% of those who have it and in 1% of those who do not. Based on these results, what is the probability of a randomly chosen person having cancer giventhat the test indicates cancer? Of a person having cancer given that the test does not indicate cancer?

Given information: The percentage of type of cancer is 3%. P(cancer)=3%=0.03 P(not having…

Travelers who have no intention of showing up often fail to cancel their hotel reservations in a timely manner. These travelers are known, in the parlance of the hospitality trade, as “no-shows”. To protect against no-shows and late cancellations, hotels invariably overbook rooms. A recent study examined the problems of over-booking rooms in the hotel industry. The following data, extracted from the study represent the daily numbers of late cancellations and no-shows for a random sample of 10 days at a hotel: 18, 16, 16, 16, 14, 18, 16, 18, 14, 19. a) Compute s, the sample s.d. for the data set
Magnetic surveying is one technique used by archaeologists to determine anomalies arising from variations in magnetic susceptibility. Unusual changes in magnetic susceptibility might (or might not) indicate an important archaeological discovery. Let x be a random variable that represents a magnetic susceptibility (MS) reading for a randomly chosen site at an archaeological research location. A random sample of 120 sites gave the readings shown in the table below. Magnetic Susceptibility Readings, centimeter-gram-second x 10-6 Magnetic Susceptibility 0 5 and ng > 5 are not satisfied. Yes, it is appropriate since n 2 30. Yes, it is appropriate since the criteria np > 5 and ng > 5 are both satisfied. No, it is not appropriate since at least one of the criteria n 2 100 or np 100 or np < 10 are are both satisfied. (b) Use the normal distribution to approximate the probability that there will be at least 17 "neutral" readings out of these 45 trials. (Round your answer to four decimal…
A researcher is interested in the amount of sleep an individual receives after consuming a sleeping aid (Melatonin, Valerian root, and Placebo). The researcher randomly selects individuals into either group. However, some individuals drop out of the study which results in unequal sample sizes. Melatonin Valerian Placebo n=6 n=10 n=4 N=20 M=14 M=13 M=9 G=250 T=84 T=130 T=36 ΣX2=3377 SS=60 SS=90 SS=37 a. Using symbols, state the hypotheses for a two-tailed test with α=0.05. b. Locate the critical region. In doing so, determine the degrees of freedom values. c. Calculate the F-ratio.
As products come off a large assembly line, they are inspected for quality. They are placed into one of three categories: pass, fail, or need additional inspection. The manager claims that 80% of the products pass the inspection, 5% fail, and 15% need additional inspection. In an effort to increase the passing rate, the machines are recalibrated. After this recalibration, a random sample of 100 products is selected. It is discovered that 85 passed inspection, 2 failed, and 13 needed additional inspection. The manager would like to know if there is convincing evidence that the distribution has changed. What is the value of the chi-square test statistic and P-value? Find the chi-square table here. χ2 = 2.38, P-value is less than 0.0005 χ2 = 2.38, P-value is greater than 0.25 χ2 = 5.10, P-value is less than 0.0005 χ2 = 5.10, P-value is greater than 0.25
Public Agenda conducted a survey of 1379 parents and 1342 students in grades 6-12 regarding the importance of science and mathematics for success in life after school. 50% of the students thought these skills were essential and 62% of the parents thought these subjects were crucial for success. The two random samples were selected independently of each other. Is there enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of parents who feel science and math are important for success is higher than the proportion of students who feel the same way? Conduct your test with a level of significance of 0.05.
Hospital floors: Hospital floors are usually bare tiles instead of carpet. Carpets will decrease noise but might increase germ growth. To study this, researchers installed carpet in 8 of 16 hospital rooms. They randomly selected the rooms to carpet. The other rooms had bare tiles. After two weeks of normal use, they collected air samples from the rooms and counted the bacteria in each sample. Based on this description of the experiment, which of the following is a part of the experiment design? Check all that apply. Group of answer choices

One cable company claims that it has excellent customer service. In fact, the company advertises that a technician will arrive within 35 minutes after a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not accurate, claiming that it takes over 35 minutes for the cable technician to arrive. The customer asks a simple random sample of 4 other cable customers how long it has taken for the cable technician to arrive when they have called for one. The sample mean for this group is 39.l minutes with a standard deviation of 2.6 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test the customer's claim at the 0.10 level of significance. Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.

A 2016 episode of the NPR program "This American Life" featured a radio show host from Tigerville South Carolina and focused on the divisions among evangelical Christians regarding their support of the then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. We know that these divisions still exist, and suppose you want to survey the people of Tigerville (population: 1.312) to see how many of them support Donald Trump today, and you want to use a simple random sample. (a) An SRS of 150 people is taken and it turns out that 55 support Trump. Estimate the proportion of people in Tigerville that support Trump and give a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Trump supporters using your estimate. (b) If 100 simple random samples are taken independently, and 100 such 95% confidence intervals are constructed, what is the probability that all 100 of these intervals will cover the true proportion? Does this number make sense to you? Explain.
