Based on the data provided, determine if the age group over 50 has a lower rate of hay fever compared to those under 25.Perform the hypothesis test:**a) What is the level of significance?**- Typically, a common level of significance used is \( \alpha = 0.05 \).**b) State the null and alternate hypotheses:**- **Null Hypothesis (H0):** \( \mu_1 \leq \mu_2 \) - This implies the mean hay fever rate for people under 25 (\( \mu_1 \)) is less than or equal to that of people over 50 (\

A quality control engineer at Shell visits 80 gas stations and collects a fuel sample from each. She measures the sulphur content in the gas and sorts the samples into 4 different batches. She finds: 19 samples with less than 180 ppm sulphur, 20 samples with between 180 and 230 ppm, 23 samples with between 230 and 280 ppm, and 18 samples with more than 280 ppm. Does the sulphur content of gas follow a normal distribution with a mean of 230 ppm and a standard deviation of 50 ppm at the 5% significance level
The following data set is composed of incidence rates of Kaposi’s sarcoma in 20 different regions of Tanzania. Reported in cases/million/year. 6.1, 6.6, 6.4, 6.6, 6.6, 7.6, 8.4, 8.5, 6.2, 7.6, 8.0, 7.3, 8.4, 6.6, 5.2, 6.2, 6.5, 5.8, 6.0, 6.1 Let μ be the true incident rate of Kaposi’s sarcoma in Tanzania is cases/million/year. If the true incident rate of Kaposi’s sarcoma in the United States is 6 cases/million/year based on a nationwide surveillance in 2014. Test whether the rate of Kaposi’s sarcoma in Tanzania is different from the United States at the 0.05 significance level. Be sure to state the null and alternative hypothesis. Carry out the appropriate hypothesis test by hand (you can also use SAS) and report the test statistic and the p-value and your conclusion in the context of the problem. What assumptions do we need for the validity of this hypothesis test?
An amusement park keeps track of the percentage of individuals with season passes according to age category. An independent tourist company would like to show that this distribution of age category for individuals buying season passes is different from what the amusement park claims. The tourist company randomly sampled 200 individuals entering the park with a season pass and recorded the number of individuals within each age category. Age Category Child (under 13 years old) Teen (13 to 19 years old) Adult (20 to 55 years old) Senior (56 years old and over) Number of Individuals 56 86 44 14 The tourist company will use the data to test the amusement park’s claim, which is reflected in the following null hypothesis. H0:pchild=0.23H0:pchild=0.23, pteen=0.45pteen=0.45, padult=0.20padult=0.20, and psenior=0.12psenior=0.12.

A national newspaper reported that the state with the longest mean life span is Hawaii, where the population mean life span is 76 years. A random sample of 20 obituary notices in the Honolulu Advertizer gave the following information about life span (in years) of Honolulu residents. 72 68 81 93 56 19 78 94 83 84 77 69 85 97 75 71 86 47 66 27 Assuming that life span in Honolulu is approximately normally distributed, does this information indicate that the population mean life span for Honolulu residents is less than 76 years? Use a 10% level of significance. What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) Find the P-value.
