In 2001, the polls found that 81% of American adults believed that there was a conspiracy in the death of President Kennedy. Assume a recent poll asked 1160 American adults if they believe there was a conspiracy in the assassination and it found that 897 believe there was a conspiracy. Does the data show that the proportion of Americans who believe in this conspiracy is now lower? Test at the 9% level. What is the correct parameter symbol for this problem? What is the wording of the parameter in the context of this problem? Fill in the correct null and alternative hypotheses:
Determine whether the statement " Half of the atoms in a sample of radioactive radium decay in 799.5 years", is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give an example that shows it is false.
A section of highway is posted with a 55 mph speed limit. In fact, speeds of cars traveling on this section are normally distributed with mean 58 mph and standard deviation 5 mph. If the state patrol decides to ticket cars in the fastest 10 %, at what speed will they start ticketing ? Round your answer to the first decimal position.
According to a 2006 survey conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), birth rates peak slightly between July and October each year. While a slight numerical increase in birth rates is often observed, this difference is assumed to be statistically non-significant. Thus, we would expect to see an equal number of people born during each month of the year in the United States. The "Birth Data.jasp" contains the birth months for 1380 babies (N = 1380) born during the year 2006 in the United States collected by the CDC. Conduct a Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test at α = 0.05, to see if the number of babies born each month “fits” with the CDC’s assumptions about the population. Identify the correct null hypothesis. A. H0: The number of babies born throughout the year is equal across all 12 months B. H0: The number of babies born during the summer months is greater than the number of babies born during the rest of the year C. HA: The number of babies born in…
An interdepartmental task force is being formed to investigate an increase in violent crimes. 1/5 of the task force will be police officers from the local precinct. 1/4 will be ATF agents, and the remaining 22 will be from the FBI. How many people are participating in the task force?
People living in a certain area have observed 102 rainy days in the year 2018, 96 rainy days in 2019, 111 rainy days in 2020. Use the best fit line to predict, how many rainy days they will see in 2021.
According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) sponsored by the U.S. government, a random sample of 712 males between 20 and 29 years of age and a random sample of 1,001 males over the age of 75 were chosen and the weight of each of the males were recorded (in kg). Do the data provide evidence that the younger male population weighs more (on average) than the older male population? Use “Y” for ages 20-29 and “S” for ages 75+. It was found that x̅Y=83.4, sY=18.7, x̅S=78.5, and sS=19.0. a)Suppose the test statistic is t = 2.398. What is the associated p-value? Group of answer choices 0.001 < p-value < 0.002 0.005 < p-value < 0.01 0.01 < p-value < 0.02 0.0005 < p-value < 0.001 b) Suppose the p-value is 0.02 < p-value < 0.04. At α = 0.10 what is the appropriate conclusion to make? Group of answer choices Fail to reject H0 and conclude that the mean weight of all males ages 20-29 is greater than the mean weight of all…
5t. A magazine reports that women trust recommendations from a particular social networking site more than recommendations from any other social network platform. But does trust in this social networking site differ by gender? The following sample data show the number of women and men who stated in a recent sample that they trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site. Women Men Sample 150 170 Trust RecommendationsMade on the social networking site 111 102 (a) What is the point estimate of the proportion of women who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site? (b) What is the point estimate of the proportion of men who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site? (c) Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the proportion of women and men who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
Suppose that a recent article by a historian stated that the mean time spent in jail by a first–timeconvicted burglar in the 20th century was 2.5 years. A study was then done to see if the mean time has increasedin the new century. A random sample of 26 first-time convicted burglars in a recent year was picked. The meanlength of time in jail from the survey was 3 years. Suppose that it is somehow known that the population standarddeviation is 1.8 years and that the population is normally distributed.The hypotheses can then be framed as:H0 : μ = 2.5 vs. Ha : μ > 2.5(a) Which of the following figures (next page) best describes the p-value for this hypothesis testingproblem. Explain your reasoning. (numbers above red shaded area represent the corresponding probabilities). (b) Write the decision and conclusion for this hypothesis testing problem if the significance level, α,is 0.1.

Health insurers are beginning to offer telemedicine services online that replace the common office visit. Kean healthcare provides a video service that allows subscribers to connect with a physician online and receive prescribed treatments. Kean healthcare claims that users of its LiveHealth Online service saved a significant amount of money on a typical visit. The data shown below ($), for a sample of 5 online doctor visits, are consistent with the savings per visit reported by Kean Healthcare. 92 105 56 76 96 Assuming the population is roughly symmetric construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean savings for a televisit to the doctor as opposed to an office visit.
