An international private school called IWB has two branches in the GCC countries, one in Oman and another in Kuwait. IWB manager believes that there is no difference in the student enrollment rate for their branch in Oman and the branch in Kuwait. A random sample of 25 students from Oman's branch was selected. The student enrollment rate in the sample found to be 24%. Another random sample of 30 students from the branch in Kuwait showed an enrolment rate of 27%. a. Find a point estimate for the difference between the population proportions for the two countries (Oman and Kuwait). b. Find a point estimate of the standard deviation for the difference between the population proportions for the two countries. c. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the population proportions for the two countries. d. State the null and alternative hypotheses. e. Test the hypothesis stated in Part d at the 1% significance level. f. What do you conclude?

A survey was conducted of two types of marketers. The first type being marketers that focus primarily on attracting business (B2B), and the second type being marketers that primarily target consumers (B2C). It was reported that 518 (88%) of B2B and 250 (61%) of B2C marketers commonly use a business social media tool. The study also revealed that 313 (53%) of B2B marketers and 243 (60%) of B2C marketers commonly use a video social media tool. Suppose the survey was based on 589 B2B marketers and 407 B2C marketers. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference between B2B marketers and B2C marketers in the proportion that commonly use the business social media tool? Let population 1 correspond to B2B marketers and population 2 correspond to B2C marketers. Choose the correct null and alternative hypotheses below. O A. Ho: T1 2 T2 B. Ho: T STh2 H1: Tq T2 C. Ho: Tq # T2 H1: Tq = T2 O D. Ho: T4 = T2 Determine the test…
The world is currently being adversely affected by the COFLU-20 pandemic. Persons are required to take certain measures to prevent the spread of this virus; however, persons’ knowledge, attitudes and practices towards COFLU-20 may influence their adherence to these measures. A researcher decided to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices towards COFLU-20 of adults living in the English-speaking Caribbean. To gather the data, the researcher developed an online survey consisting of four (4) sections. Section A gathered demographic data on the respondents including their gender, marital status, highest level of education attained, occupation and country of residence. Section B consisted of 15 questions that gathered data on the respondents’ knowledge of COFLU-20. Section C consisted of 10 questions that gathered data on the respondents’ attitudes towards COFLU-20. The final section, Section D, consisted of 5 questionsthat gathered information on the respondents’ practices against…
Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?
Among students at a nearby college, the proportion who say they’re interested in their congressional district’s election results has traditionally been 70%. After a series of lackluster debates on campus, a political scientist claims that the proportion, p, of students at the college who say they’re interested in their districts election results is now less than 70%. A pill is commissioned, and 154 out of random sample of 230 students at the college say they’re interested in their districts election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.
For several decades, it was a common practice in Southern California for houses to be built with pools in the backyard (as any airplane flight which ends at a Southern California airport will reveal). Now, however, that practice may be changing, possibly because of the recent demand for landscaped homes, which experts believe help reduce pollution. A recent study examined a random sample of 167 houses built in Southern California between 1950 and 1985 and an independent, random sample of 80 houses built in Southern California from 1992 to the present. The sample of houses built in 1950-1985 contained 71 houses with pools, and the sample of houses built from 1992-present contained 31 houses with pools. Based on this survey, can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the proportion p1 of all Southern California houses built in 1950-1985 that were built with pools is greater than the proportion p2 of all Southern California houses built from…

The traffic pattern is being analyzed for traffic going into Myrtle Beach on 501. The intersection of US-501 and US-17 Bypass was designed such that 50% of the traffic would continue straight on 501, 30% would go north on 17 Bypass, and 20% would go south on 17 Bypass. Since then, there has been a significant amount of commercial growth around the intersection that may have impacted the traffic flow. A sample of 600 cars is to be reviewed to see if the traffic has significantly changed using the chi-square test. How many cars do you expect to go straight on US-501?
A researcher took a random sample of 200 new mothers in the United States (Group 1) and found that 16% of them experienced some form of postpartum depression. Another random sample of 200 new mothers in France (Group 2), where mothers receive 16 weeks of paid maternity leave, found that 11% experienced some form of postpartum depression. Can it be concluded that the percent of women in the United States experience more postpartum depression than the percent of women in France? Use α=0.05. Select the correct alternative hypothesis and decision
The school district sets up two locations to help students with technical difficulties over the summer. They believe the technicians they have assigned to location 2 are being lazy and not helping students as much as they should be so they take a random sample of 15 students from each of the two locations and ask if their technical issue had been resolved (over 200 students had asked for assistance at each location). Twelve of the 15 students from location 1 reported their technical issue had been resolved and 8 of the 15 students from location 2 reported their technical issue had been resolved. Is this convincing evidence that the technicians from location 2 are being lazy and not helping students as much as those from location 1?
The plant-breeding department at a major university developed a new hybrid boysenberry plant called Stumptown Berry. Based on research data, the claim is made that from the time shoots are planted 90 days on average are required to obtain the first berry. A corporation that is interested in marketing the product, tests 60 shoots by planting them and recording the number of days before each plant produces its first berry. The sample mean is 92.3 days. The corporation will not market the product if the mean number of days is more than the 90 days claimed. The hypotheses are: H0:μ = 90 H1:μ > 90 What is a type I error in the context of this problem
