An independent consumer group states that, among all people with depression who use a new antidepressant, the proportion p of people who find relief from depression is 65%. A random sample of 200 patients who use the drug is selected, and 124 of them find relief from depression. Based on these data, can we reject the consumer group's claim at the 0.1 level of significance? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

One study claimed that 86% of college students identify themselves as procrastinators. A professor believes that the claim regarding college students is too high. The professor conducts a simple random sample of 238 college students and finds that 193 of them identify themselves as procrastinators. Does this evidence support the professor’s claim that fewer than 86% of college students are procrastinators? Use a 0.05 level of significance. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
A researcher predicted that students will learn better if they attribute their performance to effort rather than natural ability. In one condition, a randomly selected group of sixth graders wrote an essay about a time when they worked hard to reach a goal. In a second condition, a different randomly selected group of sixth graders wrote about a skill they thought they were naturally good at. Afterwards, the students began a nine-week social studies unit that concluded with an achievement test. Use the data below to conduct an 1. appropriate statistical test (higher scores indicate higher achievement). Follow the 7 hypothesis testing steps you have been taught. Some of the steps have already been done for you. Wrote about Wrote about effort natural ability 81.89 M 84.77 40 55 60 60 1.

A variety of variables were measured for all tornadoes in the United States in 2017. (a) Since 1950, the proportion of tornadoes that have been F0 is 0.465. Test whether a different proportion of F0 tornadoes occur in Texas than nationally. Note: Treat the tornadoes that struck in Texas as a simple random sample of all tornadoes that struck Texas since 1950 using a 0.05 level of significance. The summarized data show that 82 of 168 tornadoes in Texas were F0 during 2017. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Họ: H1: (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Because the data is treated as a simple random sample; npo(1- Po) V10: and the sample size n is less than 5% of the population size, we may the normal model to test the hypothesis. The P-value is. (Type integers or decimals rounded to four decimal places as needed.) If we obtained 100 independent random samples of size 168 from the state of Texas, we would expect (Type integers or decimals rounded to three decimal places as…
Which statistical test should be used? Researchers wondered if frequent checking of email increases stress. They randomly assigned their participants to check email just three times a day for a week, and then in the second week, to check email as often as they wanted. The researchers did find that participants were less stressed, on average, during the limited email week than during the unlimited email week. Which statistical test should be used? A professor was interested in studying how academic major (Psychology vs. Chemistry) is related to creativity (assessed by a creativity questionnaire). Which statistical test should be used to for a difference between psychology and chemistry majors in creativity?
Rhino viruses typically cause common colds. In a test of the effectiveness of echinacea, 42 of the 47 subjects treated with echinacea developed rhinovirus infections. In a placebo group, 89 of the 102 subjects developed rhinovirus infections. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that echinacea has an effect on rhinovirus infections. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

The College Board provided comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker's parents. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT. The overall mean SAT math score was 514. SAT math scores for independent samples of students follow. The first sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree. The second sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree. High School Grads College Grads 501 487 550 634 538 550 572 497 533 526 394 531 594 432 608 485 442 580 479 486 528 524 492 478 425 485 390 535
Tourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida. Hotel occupancy is an often-reported measure of visitor volume and visitor activity (Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2018). Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows. Current Year 1,476 1,800 Occupied Rooms Total Rooms 1,422 1,800 a. Formulate the hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether there has been an increase in the proportion of rooms occupied over the one-year period. Let P₁= population proportion of rooms occupied for current year P2 population proportion of rooms occupied for previous year - P2 less than or equal to 0 greater than 0 Ho P1 Ha P1 P2 b. What is the estimated proportion of hotel rooms occupied each year (to 2 decimals)? Current year .80 X Previous Year .77 c. Conduct a hypothesis test. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? Use Table 1 from Appendix B. Previous Year p-value = 0.0166 Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? We can conclude that there…
A clinical trial is conducted to compare a new pain re- liever for arthritis to a placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the new medication or a placebo, and the outcome is pain relief within 30 minutes. The data are shown in Table 7–8. Is there a significant difference in the proportions of patients reporting pain relief? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Pain Relief No Pain Relief New Medication 44 76 Placebo 21 99 How would I use excel with this?
A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.
Dr. Guidry conducts a study examining the relationship between the number of friends one has and the experience of daily stress and life satisfaction. She randomly samples 1,500 elderly men and women in Nashville, Tennessee (the state capital), located in the southern United States. Below are her findings.• Life satisfaction and experience of daily stress: r = .57 (p = .01)• Number of friends one has and experience of daily stress: r = .09, not sig.• Number of friends one has and life satisfaction: r = .36 (p = .04) Which of the following conclusions can Dr. Guidry draw about the number of friends one has and life satisfaction based on her statistical analyses? a. The probability of her sample coming from a zero association population is about 4%. (correct answer) b. The probability of her sample coming from a zero association population is about 96%. c. The relationship is not statistically significant. d. The strong correlation means that the number of friends one has causes an…
The number of hours per week that the television is turned on is determined for each family in a sample. The mean of the data is 31 hours and the median is 27.2hours. Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 16 hours or less for the week. The 8th percentile of the data is 16 hours. Based on the given information, determine if the following statement is true or false. The first quartile is less than 16 hours.
