A statistician selects a sample of 20 participants and makes the decision to retain the null hypothesis. He conducts the same study testing the same hypothesis with a sample of 100 participants and makes the decision to reject the null hypothesis. What likely explanation for why the two samples led to different decisions?

A random sample of 200 freshmen and 100 seniors at a large university are asked whether they agree with a plan to limit enrollment in crowded majors. Of the students sampled 130 freshmen and 30 seniors opposed the plan. The provost wants to determine if there is a larger proportion of freshmen at the 5% significance level. Write appropriate hypotheses, find the p-value and explain your results.
A random sample of 865 births included 429 boys. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that 51.3% of newborn babies are boys. Do the results support the belief that 51.3% of newborn babies are boys? Identify the P-value for this hypothesis test. The P-value for this hypothesis test is
Suppose 220 subjects are treated with a drug that is used to treat pain and 51 of them developed nausea. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that more than 20% of users develop nausea. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Identify the test statistic ( round to 2 decimal places) Identify the P value ( round to 3 decimals) Identify the conclusion for the hypothesis test
Suppose 218 subjects are treated with a drug that is used to treat pain and 52 of them developed nausea. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that more than 20% of users develop nausea. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. The test statistic for this hypothesis test is? The P-value for this hypothesis test is? Identify the conclusion for this hypothesis test.
In a recent study, two treatments were compared to see which one helped symptoms of migraines. Of the 100 people who had treatment 1, 25 improved. Of the 100 people who received treatment 2, 39 improved. Is there a statistically significant difference in the proportions of patients who show improvement between treatments 1 and 2. Run the test at a 5% level of significance. 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value.
Two different simple random samples are drawn from two different populations. The first sample consists of 30 people with 16 having a common attribute. The second examole consists of 1900 people with 1374 of them having the same common attribute. Compare the results from a hypothesis test of p1 =p2 (with a o,01 significance level) and a 99% confidence interval estimate of p1-p2.
Suppose 450 subjects are treated with a drug that is used to treat pain and 140 of them developed nausea. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that more than 205% of users develop nausea. The test statistic for this hypothesis test is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Show word count ( Previous Next

A regional planner obtains random samples of home costs from four Michigan counties. Suppose these home costs are normally distributed in each county and that home prices within each county vary about the same amount. What test should the planner use to learn if the differences in home cost by county are significant? State the null and alternative hypothesis Provide the name of the hypothesis testing method and explain why it is appropriate.
There are two pics, because the question didn't fit into one. Please answer all parts. Thank you very much. Have a great weekend :)
Do the needs of patients in the emergency room differ for those who come by car vs. those by ambulance? Of the randomly selected emergency room patients who came by car 51 had an injury, 40 were sick, 31 had heart problems and 61 had other needs. Of the randomly selected emergency room patients who came by ambulance 45 had an injury, 30 were sick, 55 had heart problems and 38 had other needs. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test using an a = 0.10 level of significance. a. What is the correct statistical test to use? O Paired t-test O Homogeneity Goodness-of-Fit O Independence b. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Ho: O Means of transportation to the emergency room and emergency room needs are independent. Means of transportation to the emergency room and emergency room needs are dependent. The distribution of emergency room needs for patients who come by car is the same as it is for patients who come by ambulance. The distribution of emergency room needs for patients who…
