An antidepressant has historically been known to relieve depression for 65% of patients who use the drug. The drug's formula was changed recently to include smaller dose of its main, active ingredient. Due to this change, a medical researcher suspects that among all people with depression who use the new version of the drug, the proportion, p, of people who find relief is lower than 65%. A random sample of 240 patients who use the new version is selected by the researcher, and 149 of them find relief from depression. Based on these data, can we support the researcher's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

According to a recent survey of adults, approximately 62% carry cash on a regular basis. The adults were also asked if they have children. Of the 46% who have children, 85% carry cash on a regular basis. Is carrying cash independent from having children in this sample? No, P(carry cash) = P(carry cash|have children). No, P(carry cash) ≠ P(carry cash|have children). Yes, P(carry cash) = P(carry cash|have children). Yes, P(carry cash) ≠ P(carry cash|have children).
A group of 1440 students was surveyed in October 2018 about their sleeping patterns and consumption of caffeinated beverages. Of the 1440 students asked, 834 said they had trouble falling asleep at night, but the rest did not. Of the 834 who said they had trouble sleeping at night, 640 drank some type of caffeinated beverage after 2 pm most days. Of those who reported no trouble falling asleep at night, 108 said they drank some type of caffeinated beverage after 2 pm most days.
A clinical researcher has developed a new test for measuring impulsiveness and would like to determine the validity of the test. The new test and an established measure of impulsiveness are both administered to a sample of participants. Describe the pattern of results that would establish concurrent validity for the new test.
Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?

THE MANAGER OF A SERVICE STATION IS IN THE PROCESS OF ANALYZING THE NUMBER OF TIMES CAR OWNERS CHANGE THE OIL IN THEIR CARS. SHE BELIEVES THAT THE AVERAGE MOTORIST CHANGES HIS OR HER CAR'S OIL LESS FREQUENTLY THAN RECOMMENDED BY THE OWNER'S MANUAL (TWO TIMES PER YEAR). IN A PRELIMINARY SURVEY SHE ASKED 14 CAR OWNERS HOW MANY TIMES THEY CHANGED THEIR CARS' OIL IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. THE RESULTS ARE 1, 1, 2, 0, 3, 3,0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, AND 1. 2.1 Does this data provide sufficient evidence at the 10% significance level to indicate that the manager is correct? 2.2 Ho: H₁: Rejection region: Test statistic: Decision: Conclusion: What condition is required in order to analyze this data using a t-test?
Twenty university students chosen at random from students enrolled at Carthage College took part in an experiment testing the effect of watching ABC News versus CNN on knowledge of world events. The 20 participants were divided randomly into two equal groups of 10 students each. One group was assigned to watch ABC and the other was assigned to watch CNN. Participants then watched their assigned station (ABC or CNN) for 3 hours a night for 4 weeks. At the end of the 4 week period they were administered a test of world knowledge. The results were as follows: XbarABC = 104; sABC = 12 XbarCNN = 99; sCNN = 10 Compute the 95% confidence interval around the difference between the two groups.
A doctor is studying the relationship between blood pressure and heartbeat abnormalities in her patients. She tests a random sample of her patients and notes their blood pressures (high, low, or normal) and their heartbeats (regular or irregular). She finds that: 14% have high blood pressure. • 22% have low blood pressure. 15% have an irregular heartbeat. • Of those with an irregular heartbeat, one-third have high blood pressure. • Of those with normal blood pressure, one-eighth have an irregular heartbeat. What portion of the patients selected have a regular heartbeat and low blood pressure? (0.2)
Some sleep experts believe that sleep apnea is more in men than in the general population. In other words, they claim that the percentage of men who suffer from sleep apnea is greater than 8% (which is the percent believed to affect the population in general). To test this claim, one sleep expert interviews 50 men and determines that 7 of these men suffer from sleep apnea. Does this evidence support the claim at that the percentage of men who suffer from sleep apnea is more than 8%? Use a 0.02 level of significance What are the hypotheses? What is the test statistic? Is it a z or a t? Find the P-value for this test statistic. How does it compare to the significance level? On the normal curve, indicate the location of the test statistic and the p-value. (label them on the graph) Write a conclusion in statistical terms and relate it to the parameters of this problem. Note: The following is not a hypothesis test, but rather a…
Some people seem to believe that you can fix anything with duct tape. Even so, many were skeptical when researchers announced that duct tape may be a more effective and less painful alternative than liquid nitrogen, which doctors routinely use to freeze warts. An article described a study conducted at a medical center. Patients with warts were randomly assigned to either the duct tape treatment or the more traditional freezing treatment. Those in the duct tape group wore duct tape over the wart for 6 days, then removed the tape, soaked the area in water, and used an emery board to scrape the area. This process was repeated for a maximum of 2 months or until the wart was gone. Data consistent with values in the article are summarized in the following table. Number with Wart Treatment Successfully Removed Liquid nitrogen freezing 103 60 Duct Tape 100 88 A USE SALT Do these data suggest that freezing is less successful than duct tape in removing warts? Test the relevant hypotheses using a…
