A researcher hypothesizes that there is a difference in hours watching TV between full-time workers and part-time workers. In your sample, you have these two groups. The estimated standard error of the difference between means is 0.1. Test the hypothesis at the .01 level. Show all five steps please.

The recidivism rate for convicted sex offenders is 9%. A warden suspects that this percent is higher if the sex offender is also a drug addict. Of the 396 convicted sex offenders who were also drug addicts, 51 of them became repeat offenders. What can be concluded at the a = 0.05 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use z-test for a population proportion b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Но: 0.09 |(please enter a decimal) H1: P 0.09 (Please enter a decimal) c. The test statistic ? 2.697 (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value =| 0.0035 v (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e. The p-value is f. Based on this, we should reject the null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... O The data suggest the populaton proportion is significantly higher than 9% at a = 0.05, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population proportion of convicted sex offender drug addicts who become repeat…
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the official unemployment rate for Black people was 10.4% and 4.7% for White people in February 2015. Select all correct answers for this question. O The samples of white and black people are independent. The explanatory variable is the unemployment rate. The response variable is the unemployment rate. The response variable is race.
According to a report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 20% of all complaints for a year were for identity theft. In that year, Oregon had 714 complaints of identity theft out of 3449 consumer complaints. Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Oregon had a higher proportion of identity theft than 20%? Test at the 5% level. State the hypotheses. Họ: P ?v Ha: P ? Calculate the test statistic. Round to four decimal places. Calculate the standardized test statistic. Round to three decimal places. z = Find the p-value. Round to four decimal places. p-value = State your decision. O Since the p-value is less than .05, reject Ho. O Since the p-value is greater than .05, fail to reject Ho. O Since the p-value is greater than .05, reject Ho- O Since the p-value is less than .05, fail to reject Ho- Interpret the results. O At the 5% level of significance, there is not enough evidence to show that the proportion of complaints due to identity theft in Oregon is less than 20%. O At…
Babies and younger boys are more likely to be diagnosed with peanut allergies. To test this claim a group of researchers tested the allergies among a group of boys and girls aged below 18 years. A total of 540 kids were selected randomly and asked to eat a small amount of peanut. Group n x Boys 280 120 Girls 260 90 Do boys have a higher chance to be diagnosed with a peanut allergy? Calculate the test statistic. Calculate p-value.
Cadmium, a heavy metal, is toxic to animals. Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cadmium at high concentrations. Some governments have a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 0.56 part per million (ppm). A research team measured the cadmium levels in a random sample of edible mushrooms, where the hypothesis test is to decide whether the mean cadmium level in the sample is greater than the governments' safety limit. The null and alternative hypotheses are H0: μ=0.56 ppm, Ha: μ>0.56 ppm. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. d. Now suppose that the results of carrying out the hypothesis test lead to nonrejection of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion by error type or as a correct decision if in fact the mean cadmium level in that type of mushrooms equals the safety limit of 0.56 ppm. Choose the correct answer below. A. type I error B. correct decision because a true null hypothesis is not rejected C. correct decision because…
Tina catches a 14-pound bass. She does not know the population mean or standard deviation. So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds. Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.

Fertilizer: A new type of fertilizer is being tested on a plot of land in an orange grove, to see whether it increases the amount of fruit produced. The mean number of pounds of fruit on this plot of land with the old fertilizer was 381 pounds. Agriculture scientists believe that the new fertilizer may increase the yield. State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. Answer the following question.
Set up the null and alternate hypotheses to test whether the population mean is equal to 10 when you have a sample mean. H0: Ha:
