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 = 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to reject the educator’s claim? a. Yes because p value is 0.075 b. No because p value is 0.075. c. Yes because p value is 0.038 d. Yes because p value is greater than 0.15

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.
A magazine provided results from a poll of 500 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 500 respondents, 13% chose chocolate pie, and the margin of error was given as ±4 percentage poits. Describe what is meant by the statement that "the margin of error was given as ±4 percentage points." (...) Choose the correct answer below. OA. The statement indicates that the study is only 4% confident that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is exactly 13%. OB. The statement indicates that the study is 100% -4% = 96% confident that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is 13%. OC. The statement indicates that the interval 13% ± 4% is likely to contain the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie. D. The statement indicates that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is in the interval 13% ± 4%.
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

Is there an association between daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students? Mia selects a random sample of 123 high school students and categorizes them into 1 of 3 categories of screen time and whether they exercise. She would like to determine if there is convincing evidence of an association. Let = 0.05. What are the hypotheses for this test? H0: There is an association between daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students.Ha: There is no association between daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students.H0: There is no association between daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students.Ha: There is an association between daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students.H0: There is no difference in the distribution of daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students.Ha: There is a difference in the distribution of daily screen time and exercise habits in high school students.H0: There is a…
One cable company claims that it has excellent customer service. In fact, the company advertises that a technician will arrive within 35 minutes after a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not accurate, claiming that it takes over 35 minutes for the cable technician to arrive. The customer asks a simple random sample of 4 other cable customers how long it has taken for the cable technician to arrive when they have called for one. The sample mean for this group is 39.l minutes with a standard deviation of 2.6 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test the customer's claim at the 0.10 level of significance. Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.

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
One cable company claims that it has excellent customer service. In fact, the company advertises that a technician will arrive within 45 minutes after a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not accurate, claiming that it takes over 45 minutes for the cable technician to arrive. The customer asks a simple random sample of 25 other cable customers how long it has taken for the cable technician to arrive when they have called for one. The sample mean for this group is 47.9 minutes with a standard deviation of 7.6 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test the customer's claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Ho : μ = 45 Ha:μ 45

2. The difference between the two groups has been declared statistically significant at the a = 0.05 level. Use the "No Adolescent Marijuana" group to determine a suitable p0, and then test the hypothesis: HO: p ≤ p0 HA: p > p0 where p is the population proportion (conceptualized) of all adolescent marijuana users who would develop schizophrenia. Show all your work. Are the results statistically significant as claimed? Make sure you report the standard score, a p-value, your conclusion, and a comment on what statistical risk has been taken and controlled for in this testing process. Percent Developing Schizophrenia 7%- 6%- 5%- 4% 3%- 2%- 1%- 0%- A Particular COMT Gene and Psychosis 2.3% No Adolescent Marijuana Use (n=311) 5.5% Adolescent Marijuana Use (n=91)
