An educator estimates that the dropout rate for seniors at high schools in Colorado is 15%. Last year in a random sample of 300 Colorado seniors, 34 withdrew from school. At α = 0.10 level of significance, is there enough evidence to reject the educator’s claim? a. Yes, because the p value is 0.075. b. Yes because z statistic is 1.6 c. No because p value is 0.038 d. Yes because the p value is larger than 0.15

In the US, 46.6% of all people have type O blood, 39.6% have type A blood, 10% have type B blood and 3.8% have type AB blood. A researcher wants to see if the distribution of blood type is different for millionaires. The table below shows the results of a random sample of 803 millionaires. What can be concluded at the significant level of ALPHA = 0.01. Round answers to 4 decimal places.1) State the hypotheses: 2) You drew 803 samples, and the observed frequencies are recorded below. Find the expected values. Blood Type ObservedFrequency ExpectedFrequency O 374 A 297 B 73 AB 59 The test-statistic for this data = The p-value for this sample = The p-value is greater than � less than (or equal to) � 3) Base on this, we should hypothesis As such, the final conclusion is that... Based on the sample data, there is sufficient evidence to claim that the distributions of blood types are not the same between the general population and the millionaires at…
6. A random sample is selected from a normal popula- tion with a mean of u = 30 and a standard deviation of o = 8. After a treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample, the sample mean is found %3D to be M = 33. %3D a. If the sample consists of n = 16 scores, is the sample mean sufficient to conclude that the treat- ment has a significant effect? Use a two-tailed test un with a = .05.
Suppose we have a case-control study that completes and yields a study OR = 4.5. If we were told the true OR in the population was actually 2.25 (we normally wouldn’t know this, but suppose hypothetically someone was able to know this and told us), this again means our study OR is biased. Is our study OR biased towards or away from the null? A)Away from the null. B)Towards the null.
Males and females were asked what they would do if they received a $100 bill in the mail that was addressed to their neighbor, but had been incorrectly delivered to them. Of the 70 males sampled, 55 said yes they would return it to their neighbor. Of the 130 females sampled, 120 said yes. The overall question is: Is this sufficient evidence to say that the two true proportions are different? Assume that the p-value turns out to be .027 (again not the correct p-value for this situation but use it to answer this question). What is your decision on this hypothesis test using a 5% level of significance? O Fail to reject the null hypothesis Reject the null hypothesis
For a two-tailed test with a sample size of 17 and a 0.20 level of significance, the t value is O a. 1.337 O b. 0.865 O c. 1.230 d. 1.734 O
After performing a hypothesis test, the p-value is p = 0.013. If the test was performed at a significance level of a = 0.046, should the null hypothesis be rejected? O a. Reject the null hypothesis since 0.013 0.046 O c. Reject the null hypothesis since 0.013 > 0.046 O d. Fail to reject the null hypothesis since 0.013 < 0.046
The test statistic of z=1.54 is obtained when testing the claim that p=0.723. a. Identify the hypothesis test as being two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed. b. Find the P-value. c. Using a significance level of a=0.10, should we reject H0 or should we fail to reject H0?
