An official of a large national union claims that the representation of women in the union is at least 40% (hypothesized population proportion). A researcher believes that the union doesn't have a 40% women representation and conducts the following hypothesis test: Ho: The union has at least 40% women representation Ha: The women representation in the union is less than 40% Using p-value approach and sample information given below, carry out the above hypothesis test. Let the level of significancea for the test in the blank. 0.05. Fill in the required values Sample size (n) Women Men 400 144 256 What is the value of sample proportion? The value of test statistics is (round to two decimal place)

According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.37. Suppose a random sample of 115 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 56 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the a = 0.1 level of significance? Find the test statistic, zo. 20 = (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
A nutrition expert claims that the average American is overweight: To test his claim, a random sample of 25 Americans was selected, and the difference between each person's actual weight and idea weight was calculated. For this data, we have = 16 and 8 = 28.4. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the expert's claim is true? Carry out a hypothesis test at a 8% significance level. Hint: Pay attention to the variable being measured: the difference between actual weight and ideal. A positive value indicates that the person is overweight. A. The value of the standardized test statistic (give to 3 decimal places): B. The p-value is (give to 4 decimal places): C. Your decision for the hypothesis test: O A. Reject Ho- OB. Reject Ha C.

For the reaction time experiment, perform a hypothesis test to assess whether there is a difference in completion time, on average, when undergraduate students at UM use their dominant vs. non-dominant hand, using a 5% significance level. Be sure to include: 1.a) Definition of the parameter of interest in context 1.b) Your hypotheses and results of your test. You can include either a screenshot from Rstudio (if available) or a table of important values (test statistic, distribution, and p-value) calculated by hand. 1.c) An evaluation of the p-value and conclusion in context 1.d) Define alpha and power in context 1.e) Explain two ways in which you could increase the power of this test
According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 18% of adults in the U.S. over 19 are vaping. A medical doctor feels the percent is higher. He performs a hypothesis test at a 1% significance level and finds the p-value to be 0.0073The conclusion would be: a. There is not enough evidence to support the doctor's claim. b. No conclusion can be made. c. There is enough evidence to support the doctor’s claim
The Gallup Poll asked 1015 U.S. adults whether they believed that people should pay sales tax on items purchased over the internet. Of these, 477 said they supported such a tax.

Based on their records, a hospital claims that the proportion, p, of full-term babies born in the community that weigh more than 7 pounds is 36%. A pediatrician who works with several hospitals in the community would like to verify the hospital's claim. In a random sample of 180 babies born in the community, 46 weighed over 7 pounds. Is there enough evidence to reject the hospital's claim at the 0.01 level of significance? Expahel Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

A business owner claims that the proportion of take out orders is greater than 25%. To test this claim, the owner checks the next 250 orders and determines that 60 orders are take out orders The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: Ho :p 0.25 Ha p>0.25 In this example, the p-value was determined to be 0.643. come to a conclusion and interpret the results for this hypothesis test for a proportion (use a significance level of 5%) Select the correct answer below: O The decision is to reject the Null Hypothesis.

Use the five steps in hypothesis testing. 1. Agriculture: Ground Water Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water (Reference: UnionCarbide Technical Report K/UR-1. A mean arsenic level of parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe foragricultural use. A well in Texas is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. Arandom sample of 37 tests gave a sample mean x̄ = 7.2 ppb arsenic, with s= 1.9 ppb. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use a= 0.01
