A psychologist is interested in constructing a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of people who accept the theory that a person's spirit is no more than the complicated network of neurons in the brain. 60 of the 803 randomly selected people who were surveyed agreed with this theory. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 99% confidence the proportion of all people who accept the theory that a person's spirit is no more than the complicated network of neurons in the brain is between and b. If many groups of 803 randomly selected people are surveyed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of all people who accept the theory that a person's spirit is no more than the complicated network of neurons in the brain and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.

Research is interested in the relationship of video games of high school students' SAT scores, and he hypothesizes that students who play video games for a longer time are predicted to have a lower SAT score. To test his hypothesis, he randomly selected 60 high school students and asked: 1) how many hours do you spend playing video games each week? 2) what is your SAT score? a) What is the research question? b) What graphs can be used to display the video games time and SAT score visually? c) What statistical test can be used to answer the research question?
In a recent poll 600 adults were asked a series of questions about the state of the economy and their children's future. One question was, "do you expect your children to have a better life than you have had, a worse life, or a life about the same as yours?" Suppose the responses showed 245 better, 313 worse, and 42 about the same. Use the sign test and a = 0.05 to determine whether there is a difference between the number of adults who feel their children will have a better life compared to a worse life. State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Let p = the proportion of adults who feel their children will have a better life.) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) z= Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) p-value=
In a survey of working parents (both parents working), one of the questions asked was "Have you refused a job, promotion, or transfer because it would mean less time with your family?" Two hundred men and 200 women were asked this question. Twenty-nine percent of the men and 24% of the women responded "yes." a. Based on this survey, can we conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of man and women responding “yes" at the 0.05 level of significance? (i) State the null and alternative hypotheses (ii) What test statistics would you use and why? (iii) Compute the value of the test-statistic. (iv) What rejection region would you use? (v) State your conclusion in the context of the problem. b. What P-value is associated with this test? Based on this P-value, could H. be rejected at significance level 0.08? c. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of men and women responding "yes." Based on this confidence interval, would your conclusion be the…
A consumer researcher gave consumers a sample shampoo. After using the shampoo, each consumer used an interval-level scale to rate his or her satisfaction with it. Scores could range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. Consumers didn’t know each other and were randomly assigned to three groups: (1) receive a store brand of shampoo in a bottle clearly labeled as such, (2) receive a premium brand of shampoo in the premium brand’s bottle, or (3) receive a store brand of shampoo in the premium brand’s bottle. Here are the collected data:Store brand, store bottle70656560M = 65 s= 4.08SSbetween = 1400Premium brand, premium bottle85909590M = 90 s=4.08Store brand, premium bottle85809085M = 85 s=4.
In a recent study on American sleep habits, 1300 adults were asked questions about their sleep cycles. The study found that 39 % say they get sleepy on the job and their work suffers at least a few days each month. An additional 21 % said the problems occur a few days each week and 9 % say sleepiness on the job is a daily occurrence. For the remaining respondents, sleepiness was not a problem at all. Summarize the given information by filling out the frequency and relative frequency distribution table. Sleepy At Work? Frequency Relative Frequency Not at all A few days each month A few days each week Daily
Night Owls proportion of MSU students who regularly sleep less than 8 hours each night is less than the value reported by the MSU psychologist. She randomly selects 215 students and asks them, "Do you regularly sleep less than 8 hours each night?" She finds that 77 of the 215 students answered "yes" to the question. A MSU psychologist reports that 40% of MSU students regularly sleep less than 8 hours each night. Cindy believes that the actual 1.

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. A national standardized test consists of three parts: critical reading, mathematics, and writing. Suppose each part of the test is scored on a 200- to 800-point scale with a median of approximately 510. Scores for each part of the test can be assumed to be symmetric. Use the following data to test the hypothesis that the population median score for the students taking the writing portion of the test is 510. 635 701 439 447 464 502 405 453 471 476 447 590 337 387 514 State the null and alternative hypotheses.

A researcher was interested in finding out whether students’ sense of belonging in a course differed between students attending classes on campus and students attending classes on Zoom. They recruited five students attending classes on campus and five students attending classes on Zoom to test this. Students were asked to complete a survey measuring how much they felt like they belonged in the course. The scale ranged from 0 (not at all) to 10 (very much). Students’ data, which were non-normal, are provided below.

A random sample of 200 students was selected from a large college in the United States. Each selected student was asked to give his or her opinion about the following statement. "The most important quality of a person who aspires to be the President of the United States is a knowledge of foreign affairs." Each response was recorded in one of five categories. The gender of each selected student was noted. The data are summarized in the table below.

A recent study evaluated how addicted teenagers become to nicotine once they start smoking. The response variable was the number of yes answers on a questionnaire called the Hooked on Nicotine Checklist (HONC). Of teenagers who had tried tobacco, the mean HONC score was 3.8 (s = 4.8) for the 143 females and 2.3 (s = 2.8) for the 171 males. Complete parts a through c below. ... (Round to four decimal places as needed.) What does the standard error indicate? A. The standard error describes the spread of the sampling distribution of x₁ - x2- OB. The standard error is the standard deviation of the sample for this study. OC. The standard error is the difference in standard deviations for the two populations. OD. The standard error is the standard deviation of the difference between x₁ - x₂- b. Find the test statistic and P-value for Ho: H₁ H₂ and Ha: H₁ H₂. Interpret, and explain what (if any) effect gender has on the mean HONC score. Use the significance level 0.05. The test statistic is…
A researcher designs an intervention to combat anti-Arab oppression. She also designs a questionnaire to measure anti-Arab oppression so she can test the participants' level of anti-Arab oppression before and after the intervention. She tests one version of her questionnaire with 45 statements and a shorter version with 12 statements. In both questionnaires, the participants respond to each statement with a rating on a 5-point Likert scale with 0 equaling "strongly disagree" and 4 equaling "strongly agree." The overall score for each participant is the mean of his or her ratings for the different statements on the questionnaire. Look at the following graphs. Graph I graphs the results from the long version, and Graph II graphs the results from the short version.
