A study was conducted to investigate the use of community-based treatment programs among Medicaid beneficiaries suffering from severe mental illness. The study involved assigning a sample of 311 patients to a prepaid medical plan and a sample of 310 patients to the traditional Medicaid program. After a specified period of time, the number of persons in each group who had visited a community crisis center in the previous three months was determined. Among the individuals assigned to the prepaid plan, 13 had visited a crisis center; among those receiving traditional Medicaid, 22 had visited a center.(a) For each group, estimate the proportion of patients who had visited a community crisis center in the previous three months.(b) At the 0.10 level of significance, test the null hypothesis that the proportions are identical in the two populations.(c) What do you conclude?

2. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 69% of adults 20 years of age and over in the U.S. are overweight. Recently, Jackson County was ranked 48th (out of 83 counties in Michigan) for a healthy population, and the County Commission wants to know if the county is significantly different from the national average at a 0.10 level of significance. They take a random sample of 280 adult residents of the county who are 20 years of age or older, and find that 72.5% are classified as overweight. Test the researcher's claim showing all steps, work and graphs.
During the summer of 2003, a nursing home measured the quality of administering medications to the residents. Quality was divided into three categories: excellent – medication received within 15 minutes of scheduled time; acceptable – medication received between 15 and 30 minutes of scheduled time; and poor – medication received within 30 minutes of scheduled time. The nursing home has set a quality standard that at least 75% of all medications should be of excellent quality. A sample of 200 medication administrations resulted in 138 classified as excellent, 41 as acceptable, and 21 as poor. In estimating the actual percentage of medications that are of excellent quality using a 90% confidence interval, we find: a. (0.636, 0.744). b. (0.625, 0.755). c. (0.688, 0.692). d. (0.639, 0.741). e. there is insufficient information provided.
The world is currently being adversely affected by the COFLU-20 pandemic. Persons are required to take certain measures to prevent the spread of this virus; however, persons’ knowledge, attitudes and practices towards COFLU-20 may influence their adherence to these measures. A researcher decided to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices towards COFLU-20 of adults living in the English-speaking Caribbean. To gather the data, the researcher developed an online survey consisting of four (4) sections. Section A gathered demographic data on the respondents including their gender, marital status, highest level of education attained, occupation and country of residence. Section B consisted of 15 questions that gathered data on the respondents’ knowledge of COFLU-20. Section C consisted of 10 questions that gathered data on the respondents’ attitudes towards COFLU-20. The final section, Section D, consisted of 5 questionsthat gathered information on the respondents’ practices against…
Exercise 9-22 Algo It is advertised that the average braking distance for a small car traveling at 65 miles per hour equals 120 feet. A transportation researcher wants to determine if the statement made in the advertisement is false. She randomly test drives 37 small cars at 65 miles per hour and records the braking distance. The sample average braking distance is computed as 111 feet. Assume that the population standard deviation is 21 feet. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) a. State the null and the alternative hypotheses for the test O Hg: H - 120; HA: p + 120 O Hg: P z 120; HẠ: P 120 b.

Although an increasing share of Americans are reading e-books on tablets and smartphones rather than dedicated e-readers, print books continue to be much more popular than books in digital format (digital format includes both e-books and audio books). A Pew Research Center survey of 1502 adults nationwide conducted January 8-February 7, 2019, found that 1081 of those surveyed had read a book in either print or digital format in the preceding 12 months. (You may regard the 1081 adults in the survey who had read a book in the preceding 12 months as a random sample of readers.) Andrew Perrin, "One-in-five Americans now listen to audiobooks," September 25, 2019 at www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/09/25/one-in-five-americans- now-listen-to-audiobooks/. The sampling scheme was more complex than an SRS, so the computation of the number in the sample who have read in the preceding 12 months and acting as if it were an SRS is oversimplified Macmillan Learning STATE: What can you say with 95%…
In a current study, a random sample of 20 teachers from Georgia and an independent random sample of 20 teachers from Indiana have been asked to report their annual income. The data obtained are as follows.

It is also known that both populations are approximately normally distributed. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the mean annual income of teachers from Georgia (,) and the mean annual income of teachers from Indiana (₂). Then find the lower limit and upper…
During the Covid crisis, there were lockdowns and working-from-home, whichmade collecting data on unemployment more challenging. Researchers fromHeriot Watt University conducted a survey of 1,000 individuals in the labour forceto assess rise in unemployment in September 2020. The object was to find outwhether the unemployment rate had risen above a benchmark proportion of 5per cent of the labour force in Scotland. Of the surveyed persons, 60 reportedbeing unemployed in the week prior to the survey.(i) Conduct a two-tailed test of whether unemployment rate during this periodwas 5 per cent. Set out your null and alternative hypotheses, significancelevel, test statistic, assumptions and sampling distribution clearly. Conductthe test and comment on the economic significance of the findings. (ii) Now conduct a one-tailed test of whether unemployment rate during thisperiod exceeded 5 per cent.

A case-control study was conducted to find out whether meditation practice was negatively associated with blood pressure among adults. Investigators identified 100 adults with high blood pressure. The investigators recruited 400 people without normal or low blood pressure into the control group. All participants were given a questionnaire asking them whether they practiced meditation during the previous year. Among participants with high blood pressure, 25 reported that they practiced meditation during the previous year; a total of 125 control participants reported meditation. a. Create a 2x2 table for exposition (meditation) and health problem (high blood pressure). b. Calculate the odds ratio of having high blood pressure relative to those who meditated during the last year relative to those who did not. c. Interpret this odds ratio.
An experiment was conducted to compare the effectiveness of four training programs, namely, A, B, C, and D in training assemblers of a piece of electronic equipment. Twenty employees were randomly selected and assigned to each program, that is, five employees per program. After completion of the training courses, each person was required to assemble four pieces of equipment, and the length of time (in secs) to complete the assembly was recorded. The summary of the data gathered is recorded in the table. At α=0.10, test for the hypothesis that the assembly times for people trained are the same for the four programs.

In determining the best companies to work for, a number of variables are considered, including size, average annual pay, and employee turnover rate. Moreover, employee surveys are conducted to assess aspects of the organization's culture, such as trust and openness to change. In an attempt to determine what affects turnover rate, a sample of 33 companies was randomly selected, and data were collected on the average annual bonus and turnover rate (%) for 2008. In addition, a questionnaire was administered to the employees of each company to arrive at a trust index (measured on a scale of 0-100). Below are the multiple regression results. Predictor Coef SE Coef T P R-square Constant 12.1005 0.7826 15.46 0.000 79.6% Trust Index -0.07149 0.01966 -3.64 0.001 Average Bonus -0.0007216 0.0001481 -4,87 0.000 The correct null hypotheses for testing the regression coefficient of Trust Index (TI) is βTI ≠ 0…
