Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells thattransports oxygen from the lungs to the body'stissues. People with less than 12 grams ofhemoglobin per deciliter of blood (g/dl) areanemic. A public health official in Oklahomasuspects that the mean hemoglobin of children inhis city is different than 12.(a) µ represents the population meanofchildren in Oklahoma.(b) State the hypotheses (Ho & Ha) for a test toverify the public health official's belief.(c) State what the parameter u in yourhypotheses is.

According to a University Center for Logistics Management, 10% of all merchandise sold in the United States gets returned. A Seattle department store sampled 89 items sold in January and found that 8 of the items were returned.If you have the following null and alternative hypotheses for a test you are running:H0:p=0.1Ha:p≠0.1Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 3 decimal places
According to a report, the mean of monthly cell phone bills was $49.36 three years ago. A researcher suspects that the mean of monthly cell phone bills is higher today. (a) Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. (b) Explain what it would mean to make a Type I error. (c) Explain what it would mean to make a Type II error. . .. (a) State the hypotheses. Ho: $4 H1: (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) (b) Explain what it would mean to make a Type I error. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The sample evidence did not lead the researcher to believe the mean of the monthly cell phone bill is less than $49.36, when in fact the mean of the bill is less than $49.36. O B. The sample evidence led the researcher to believe the mean of the monthly cell phone bill is less than $49.36, when in fact the mean of the bill is $49.36. OC.

A researcher is wondering whether the drinking habits of adults in a certain region of a country are different than those in the general adult population. Suppose a recent study states that the proportion of adults in the general population who reported drinking once a week or less in the last month is 0.26. The null hypothesis for this test is p = 0.26 and the alternative hypothesis is p+ 0.26. The researcher collected data from 150 surveys he handed out at a busy park located in the region. Are the conditions for proceeding with a one-proportion z-test satisfied? If not, which condition is not satisfied? O a. Conditions are not satisfied; the researcher did not collect a random sample. O b. Conditions are not satisfied; the population of interest is not large enough to assume independence. Oc. Conditions are not satisfied; the sample size is not large enough. O d. All conditions are satisfied.
11% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a higher percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 340 people from the inner city surveyed, 51 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of a = 0.01? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: ? v Select an answer (please enter a decimal) H1: ? v Select an answer (Please enter a decimal) c. The test statistic ? v (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e. The p-value is ? a f. Based on this, we should Select an answer | the null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... O The data suggest the population proportion is not significantly larger than 11% at a = 0.01, so there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion of inner city residents who have sleep apnea is larger than…
A hospital reported that the normal death rate for patients with extensive burns (more than 40% of skin area) has been significantly reduced by the use of new fluid plasma compresses. Before the new treatment, the mortality rate for extensive burn patients was about 60%. Using the new compresses, the hospital found that only 42 of 89 patients with extensive burns died. Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that the mortality rate has dropped. (a) What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
A manufacturer has developed a new fishing line, which the company claims has a mean breakingstrength of 15 kilograms with a standard deviation of 0.5 kilogram. To test the hypothesis that μ = 15kilograms against the alternative that μ < 15 kilograms, a random sample of 50 lines will be tested. Thecritical region is defined to be ￣x < 14.9.(a) Find the probability of committing a type I error when H0 is true.(b) Evaluate β for the alternatives μ = 14.8 and μ = 14.9 kilograms.

A sociologist wants to study what proportion of people have significant relationship problems due to financial stress. A previous study she is aware of estimated it to be 32% but she believes this has increased in modern times. She collects a random sample of 150 people and 63 of them report relationship problems due to financial stress. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test in questions #22-#25. Compute the Z-score for this hypothesis test and round to two decimal places. z = 1.58 z = 2.06 z = 2.63 z = 0.84
A survey by Men’s Health magazine stated that 14% of men said they used exercise to reduce stress. Could this be valid, or is it actually less than what the magazine claims? A random sample of 100 men was selected, and 10 said that they used exercise to relieve stress. If a=0.10, test a hypothesis and state your conclusion in context.
(a) Determine the null and alternative hypotheses that would be used to test the effectiveness of the marketing campaign. Ho: = μ 56 H₁: μ > 56 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) (b) A sample of 884 Americans provides enough evidence to conclude that marketing campaign was effective. Provide a statement that should be put out by the marketing department. O A. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean consumption of popcorn has risen. B. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean consumption of popcorn has risen. C. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean consumption of popcorn has stayed the same. D. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean consumption of popcorn has stayed the same.
You hear on the local news that for the city of Kalamazoo, the proportion of people who support President Trump is 0.42. However, you think it is less than 0.42. The hypotheses you want to test are Null Hypothesis: p ≥ 0.42, Alternative Hypothesis: p < 0.42. You take a random sample around town and calculate a p-value for your hypothesis test of 0.7963. What is the appropriate conclusion? Conclude at the 5% level of significance. Question 4 options: 1) We did not find enough evidence to say the proportion of people who support President Trump is larger than 0.42. 2) We did not find enough evidence to say a significant difference exists between the proportion of people who support President Trump and 0.42 3) The proportion of people who support President Trump is significantly less than 0.42. 4) We did not find enough evidence to say the proportion of people who support…
A researcher was doing a study for a new Coronavirus Drug and conducted a hypothesis test like this one: H0: μ = 18 Ha: μ ≠ 18 a. What type of test is this? left-tailed right-tailed two-tailed b. She obtained a test statistic of 0.75, with a p-value of 0.4648. So she concluded that her true mean must be equal to 18. Is this interpretation correct? Yes No Why or why not?
