A drug company creates a medicine designed to prevent colds, and states that it is equally effective for men and women. To test this claim, they give the medicine to 100 men and 200 women. At the end of the study, 33 men and 95 women caught a cold. Can we say that the drug is equally effective for men and women? (Use α = .01)
A security team is setting up a new walk-through metal detector and decided to run some tests on the current calibration of the machine. Members of the team walk through carrying metallic items of different sizes. Some items are weapons which should cause the alarm to sound. Other items are harmless, like jewelry or coins, which should not cause the alarm to sound. The following table shows the results of their test. (a) Positive (alarm sounds) Negative (no alarm) Totals Weapon True Positive 127 False Negative 11 138 Harmless Item False Positive 246 True Negative 86 332 Answer as a percentage rounded to two decimal places.

You are a researcher who wants to know what the mean (µ) level of anxiety would be for the whole population if they were all receiving a new anti-anxiety therapy. You can’t give the therapy to the whole population, so you give it to a sample, and you get M = 32.1 as the average anxiety level for the sample on the therapy. What is the reason that you can’t just simply assume that µ = 32.1? You didn’t use random assignment Sampling error Descriptive statistics Inferential statistics
A researcher would like to examine how the chemical tryptophan, contained in foods such as turkey, can affect mental alertness.

A telemarketer is trying two different sales pitches to sell a carpetcleaning service. For Sales Pitch I, he contacted 175 people and 62 of these people bought the cleaning service. For Sales Pitch II, he contacted 154 people and 45 of these people bought the cleaning service. Does this indicate that there is any difference in the population proportions of the people who will buy the cleaning service, depending on which sales pitch he uses? Use α = 0.05.

4. Do vaccines work? I take a sample of 1000 of unvaccinated people exposed outside and determined that 600 of them were infected with Comid-19. On the other hand, I take a sample of 800 people who are vaccinated against Comid- 19 and exposed outside and determined that 420 of them were infected with Comid-19. Using a = 0.06, test whether or not the rate of getting Comid-19 is higher in unvaccinated individuals compared to vaccinated ones.
A sample of 323 urban adult residents of a particular state revealed 65 who favored increasing the highway speed limit from 55 to 65 mph, whereas a sample of 177 rural residents yielded 75 who favored the increase.

(a) Test H0: p1 − p2 = 0 versus Ha: p1 − p2 ≠ 0 using ? = 0.05, where p1 refers to the urban population. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z = P-value = State the conclusion in the problem context. Fail to reject H0.
