A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that 60% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment goals. An XYZ Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 200 people, 58% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals. Test the claim that the proportion of people who are confident is smaller than 60% at the 0.005 significance level. The null and alternative hypothesis would be: Ho:µ = 0.6 Ho: p < 0.6 Ho:µ > 0.6 Họ:µ < 0.6 Ho:p = 0.6 Ho:p> 0.6 H1 : µ # 0.6 H1:p > 0.6 H1:µ < 0.6 H1:µ > 0.6 H1:p# 0.6 H1:p< 0.6 The test is: left-tailed right-tailed two-tailed The test statistic is: |(to 3 decimals) The p-value is: |(to 4 decimals)

Consider the following 2 × 2 table from a hypothetical cohort study.

Why do you need to know the sampling distribution of the difference between two sample means in order to perform a hypothesis test to compare two population means?
A survey asked senior executives at large corporations their opinions about the economic outlook for the future. One question was, "Do you think that there will be an increase in the number of full- time employees at your company over the next 12 months?" In the current survey, 232 of 400 executives answered Yes, while in a previous year survey, 184 of 400 executives had answered Yes. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the proportions at the two points in time. (Use current year previous year. Round your answer to four decimal places.) to What is your interpretation of the interval estimate? The 95% confidence interval ---Select--- ✓zero. This suggests that the proportion of executives who are predicting an increase in full-time jobs for the current year is ---Select---] than the proportion of executives who were predicting an increase in full-time jobs for the previous year.
According to the USDA, 46.2% of males between 20 and 39 years old consume the minimum daily requirement of calcium. After an aggressive “Got Milk?” campaign, the USDA conducts a survey of 48 randomly selected males between the ages of 20 and 39 and finds that 32 of them consume the recommended daily allowance of calcium. At the alpha=0.10 level, is there evidence to conclude that the percentage of males between the ages of 20 and 39 who consume the minimum recommended daily allowance of calcium has increased?
A doctor is researching side effects with a new pain medication. A clinical trial including random sample of 340 people who took a new pain relief medication reveals that 23 suffered some side effects. At the .05 level of significance(α), is there evidence that greater than 10% of all patients who take the medication will experience side effects? a. 0.0468 b. 0.977 c. 0.0234 d. 0.0678
In 2013, the Pew Research Foundation reported that "48% of U.S. adults report that they live with one or more chronic conditions". However, this value was based on a sample, so it may not be a perfect estimate for the population parameter of interest on its own. The study reported a standard error of about 1.6%, and a normal model may reasonably be used in this setting. Create a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of U.S. adults who live with one or more chronic conditions. Report your answer as a percentage rounded to 3 decimal places. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of U.S. adults who live with one or more chronic conditions is between % and
A study investigated ways to prevent staph infections in surgery patients. The researchers examined a random sample of 100 patients admitted to various hospitals for surgery. They found that 53 of these patients tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium responsible for most staph infections. Construct a 80% confidence interval for the proportion of all patients admitted for surgery who are carriers of S. aureus. Round your answers to three decimal places, and use four decimal places for any interim calculations. We are 80% confident that the interval ( of all patients admitted for surgery who are carriers of S. aureus. contains the true population proportion p
Is there sufficient evidence to indicate the overall model is statistically useful for predicting y. Test using α=10%. Make sure you include, in your answer, the null and alternative hypotheses, the value of an appropriate test statistic, the p-value AND rejection region, and conclusion. Find the 95% confidence interval for β3. Use the interval to determine if mood scores would be useful to the model if both intrapersonal and stress management scores are already included in the model and give a brief explanation. TestH0: β2=0 against H0: β2>0 at α=05. Make sure you include, in your answer, the value of an appropriate test statistic, p-value AND rejection region, and conclusion.
A survey asked senior executives at large corporations their opinions about the economic outlook for the future. One question was, "Do you think that there will be an increase in the number of full-time employees at your company over the next 12 months?" In the current survey, 220 of 400 executives answered Yes, while in a previous year survey, 176 of 400 executives had answered Yes.

A company that manufactures baseball bats believes that its new bat will allow players to hit the ball 30 feet farther than its current model. The owner hires a professional baseball player known for hitting home runs to hit ten balls with each bat and he measures the distance each ball is hit to test the company's claim. The results of the batting experiment are shown in the following table. Construct a 90 % confidence interval for the true difference between the mean distance hit with the new model and the mean distance hit with the older model. Assume that the variances of the two populations are the same. Let Population 1 be the distances of balls hit with the new model baseball bat and Population 2 be the distances of balls hit with the old model. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary. Hitting Distance (in Feet) New Model Old Model 215 234 202 298 224 294 211 246 215 268 248 211 255 226 228 284 247 221 214 259
A local high school makes a change that should improve student satisfaction with the parking situation. Before the change, 37% of the school's students approved of the parking that was provided. After the change, the principal surveys an SRS of 200 from the more than 2500 students at the school. In all, 83 students say that they approve of the new parking arrangement. The principal cites this as evidence that the change was effective. Which of the following is not true regarding Type I and Type II errors in this setting? O A Type I error occurs if you find convincing evidence that more than 37% of students were satisfied with the new parking arrangement, when in reality only 37% were satisfied. O A Type Il error occurs if you do not find convincing evidence that more than 37% are satisfied with the new parking arrangement, when in reality more than 37% are satisfied. O A possible consequence of a Type I error is the principal believes that students are satisfied and takes no further…
