According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.37. Suppose a random sample of 115 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 56 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the a = 0.1 level of significance? Find the test statistic, zo. 20 = (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

A credit score is used by credit agencies (such as mortgage companies and banks) to assess the creditworthiness of individuals. Values range from 300 to 850 with a credit score over 700 considered to be a quality credit risk. According to a survey, the mean credit score is 705.6. A credit analyst wondered whether high-income individuals (incomes in excess of $100,000 per year) had higher credit scores. He obtained a random sample of 34 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 724.4 with a standard deviation of 84.4. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high-income individuals have higher credit scores at the α=0.05 level of significance. 1) Find: P-value 2) Make a conclusion regarding the hypothesis.
A manufacturer claims that 10% of women using the "pill" suffer from side effects. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) believes that the manufacturer's claim is too low and decides to test the manufacturer's claim at a 5 %. A random sample of 900 women who use the manufacturer's pill shows that 103 suffer side effects. The p-value of this test is: O a. 0.1144 Ob. 0.0644 O C. 0.1000 Od. 0.0743 e. 0.0144
Listed below are the lead concentrations in different Ayurveda medicines. Ayurveda is a traditional medical system commonly used in India. The lead concentrations listed here are from medicines manufactured in the United States. Use a significance level to test the claim that the mean lead concentration for all such medicines is less than 14. 3.0,6.5,6.0,5.5,20.5,7.5,12.0,20.5,11.5,17.5
A certain prescription medicine is supposed to contain an average of 250 parts per million (ppm) of a certain chemical. If the concentration is higher than this, the drug may cause harmful side effects; if it is lower, the drug may be ineffective. The manufacturer runs a check to see if the mean concentration in a large shipment conforms to the target level of 250 ppm or not. A simple random sample of 100 portions is tested, and the sample mean concentration is found to be 247 ppm. The sample concentration standard deviation is s = 12 ppm. What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses? Group of answer choices H 0: x̄ = 250 vs. H a: x̄ < 250 H 0: x̄ = 250 vs. H a: x̄ ≠ 250 H 0: x̄ = 250 vs. H a: x̄ > 250 H 0: μ = 250 vs. H a:μ < 250 H 0: μ = 250 vs. H a: μ ≠ 250 H 0: μ = 250 vs. H a: μ > 250

Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.
