Biologists were studying the proportions of cats that had spotted markings on their fur in two populations of 12. cats, C and F. An independent random sample of cats was taken from each population, and the difference between the sample proportions of cats with the spotted markings (C minus F) was 0.62. Under the assumption that all conditions for inference were met, a hypothesis test was conducted with the alternative hypothesis being that the population proportions are not equal. The P-value of the test was 0.01. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the P-value? If the proportions of all cats with spotted markings is the same for both populations, the probability of A observing a sample difference of at least 0.62 or at most –0.62 is 0.01. If the proportions of all cats with spotted markings is the same for both populations, the probability of observing a sample difference of at least 0.62 is 0.01. If the proportions of all cats with spotted markings is the same for both populations, the probability of observing a sample difference of at most –0.62 is 0.01.

Asha owns a car-wash and is trying to decide whether or not to purchase a vending machine so customers can buy coffee while they wait. She'll get the machine if she's convinced that more than 30% of her customers would buy coffee. She plans on taking a random sample of n customers and asking them whether or not they would buy coffee from the machine, and she'll then do a significance test using α=0.05 to see if the sample proportion who say "yes" is significantly greater than 30%. Suppose that in reality, it is actually 33% of her customers that would buy coffee. Which of the changes below would result in the highest power for her test?
A researcher gathered a sample of participants who volunteered for a studying of phobias. She measured anxiety level of participants as they viewed photos of spiders and again when they viewed puppies. Which statistical test is appropriate for this study and why?
A study used 1259 patients who had suffered a stroke. The study randomly assigned each subject to an aspirin treatment or a placebo treatment. During a 3-year follow-up period, in Sample 1, 634 people received placebo treatments and 25 people died from heart attack. In sample 2, 625 people received aspirin treatment and 18 died from heart attack. Let pl denote the population proportion of death from heart attack for those with no treatment and p2 denote the population proportion of death from heart attack for those with aspirin treatment. (c) Which of SEO and SE1 is used for calculating a confidence interval for comparing two population proportions? Which is used for calculating the test statistic in a hypothesis test? (d) Construct the 95% confidence interval for pi – p2. Interpret.
A manufacturer ran an experiment to compare the wearing qualities of two different types of automobile tires, A and B. In the experiment, a tire of Type A and one of the type B were randomly assigned and mounted on the rear wheels of each of five cars. the cars were then operated for x miles and the amount of tire wear was recorded (higher number represents more wear). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the average wear? Use 0.05 level of significance. Tire A 10.6 9.8 12.3 9.7 8.8 Tire B 10.2 9.4 11.8 9.1 8.3
A group of statisticians decides they will answer the question: Has the wolf reintroduction to Yellowstone been detrimental to elk herds in the park? They decide that each of the four data scientists will take a quadrant of the park to collect a sample from as randomly as possible. They decide they will collect the sample during the winter, the time the elk herds are most stressed. They agree to trust each others professional judgement when it comes to the health of the individual elk in the herd. They will give each elk a grade out of 3pts: 1 pt for sick, 2pts for fair, and 3pts for healthy. They then share their data and compare to create a final report on the overall health of the elk in the park. In this scenario, what kind of random sampling did the statisticians use?
Public relation companies conducted two surveys about deodorants. The first survey asked a random sample of 500 men about their use of a natural deodorant. A second survey asked the same questions to a random sample of 550 women. In these two studies, 68% of men and 44% of women stated they were dissatisfied with the effectiveness of natural deodorants. Use these results to answer the following questions about the proportion of men and women's satisfaction with natural deodorants. (Round to the nearest whole person as needed). Is there a statistically significant difference between men and women's satisfaction with natural deodorants? A Yes, the proportion of men that are satisfied with natural deodorants is significantly less than the proportion of women that are satisfied with natural deodorants because both the lower limit and the upper limit of the confidence interval are positive values. B Yes, the proportion of men that are satisfied with natural…
A telephone service representative believes that the proportion of customers completely satisfied with their local telephone service is different between the South and the Midwest. The representative's belief is based on the results of a survey. The survey included a random sample of 11601160 southern residents and 12601260 midwestern residents. 43%43% of the southern residents and 56%56% of the midwestern residents reported that they were completely satisfied with their local telephone service.

The manufacturer of a new racecar engine claims that the proportion of engine failures due to overheating for this new engine, (p1), will be no higher than the proportion of engine failures due to overheating of the old engines, (p2). To test this statement, NASCAR took a random sample of 115 of the new racecar engines and 120 of the old engines. They found that 12 of the new racecar engines and 9 of the old engines failed due to overheating during the test. Does NASCAR have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim about the new racecar engine? Use a significance level of α=0.1 for the test. Step 1 of 6 :   State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Step 2 of 6 :   Find the values of the two sample proportions, pˆ1p^1 and pˆ2p^2. Round your answers to three decimal places. Step 3 of 6 :   Compute the weighted estimate of p, p‾p‾. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 4 of 6 :   Compute the value of the test…
A cat-lover claims that cats are just as smart as dogs. In order to back this claim up with some evidence she organizes a study at a large local pet daycare center. A random sample of 40 cats are selected and a random sample of 40 dogs are selected. Each of the selected animals is given one hour with a trainer in which the trainer attempts to teach them to roll over. Upon conclusion of the training, the proportion of dogs and proportion of cats that have learned this skill is computed. The trainer reports that she is 90% confident that the true difference in the proportion of all dogs and all cats (pD – pC) that can learn this skill with one hour of training is between –0.05 to 0.28. Which of the following conclusions can be made based upon this confidence interval? (A) Because most of the values in the confidence interval are positive, this proves that dogs are smarter than cats. (B) Because the point estimate of the confidence interval is positive, there is convincing evidence…
The manufacturer of a new racecar engine claims that the proportion of engine failures due to overheating for this new engine, (p1), will be no higher than the proportion of engine failures due to overheating of the old engines, (p2). To test this statement, NASCAR took a random sample of 135 of the new racecar engines and 175 of the old engines. They found that 14 of the new racecar engines and 8 of the old engines failed due to overheating during the test. Does NASCAR have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim about the new racecar engine? Use a significance level of α=0.01 for the test. Step 3 of 6 : Compute the weighted estimate of p, p‾. Round your answer to three decimal places.
