Carry out a test of hypothesis to draw conclusions in relation to each of the following problems. 1. Previous evidence show that majority of the students are happy and contented with the university's policies. This year, a random sample of 100 students was drawn. They were asked if they were happy and contented with the university's policies. Out of 100 students, 65 said so. What conclusions could be made at 10% level of significance?

Again, suppose you work for AMC Cinemas (a national chain of movie theaters). You try to forecast future revenue from movie ticket sales based on the number of competing theaters within 15 miles, the ticket price at the nearest competitor, advertising expenditures, the local unemployment rate, and average outdoor temperature. Answer the following questions. (a) Suppose your quantitative study uses a 5% significance level in all hypothesis tests. In words, explain what a 5% significance level means. (b) Suppose that, instead of movie ticket sales, you use the same independent variables to predict popcorn sales at theaters. Would you expect a regression model for popcorn sales to have a higher, lower, or similar R-square value in comparison to the regression model for movie ticket sales? Explain the reasoning behind your expectation.
2. A study performed in 2010 found that 4% of people with asthma have aspirin sensitivity. A hospital suspects that the percentage may actually be higher and tests a random sample of 310 asthma patients in controlled conditions. The hospital found that 20 out of the 310 asthma patients they tested had aspirin sensitivity. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that more than 4% of all asthma patients have aspirin sensitivity. What is the Alternative hypothesis when that procedure is appropriate to perform the required hypothesis test? d) What is the P-Value. Please round your P -value to three decimal places. P-Value = e) Should you reject the null hypotheses or not? f) What is your conclusion about the hypothesis test?
9. A study of 420,082 cell phone users found that 140 of them developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Prior to this study of cell phone use, the rate of such cancer was found to be 0.0243% for those not using cell phones. Complete parts (a) and (b). a. Use the sample data to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system. %
Example: Assume that adults were randomly selected for a poll. They were asked if they "favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos.” Of those polled, 480 were in favor and 394 were opposed. A politician claims that people don’t really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin toss. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5. What does the result suggest about the politician’s claim? Following the hypothesis test steps, let’s first identify the claim and the null and alternative hypotheses: For this example, the original claim is that the proportion of the subjects who responded in favor is equal to 0.5 (half – since the politician compared their responses as equivalent to a coin toss). The symbolic form of the politician’s claim can be expressed as p = 0.5. Also notice…
B. A sample data has a distribution that has a single mode and is strongly positively skewed. An analyst computes three measures of location for this data; the mean, the median and mode. (i) State the largest of these three location measures. (ii) Suggest, with a reason, which would be the best measure of location.
When three groups were compared using the one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), the result turned out to be significant, that is, the null hypothesis was rejected. What will be the appropriate interpretation of this result?A. All three groups significantly differ in means.B. Exactly two of the three groups significantly differ.C. At least two of the three groups significantly differ in means.D. All three groups have the same effect on the dependent variable.
5. In a certain county, the local newspaper reports that the average family income for that county is $45,000. Economists at the university believe that first-time home buyers have an average family income which is higher than this. Which of the following hypotheses would be appropriate for a significance test? Ho: u= 45, 000 Ha: µ# 45, 000 b. H.: u= 45, 000 Ha: µ> 45, 000 H.: u= 45, 000 Ha: u 45, 000 Ha: u = 45, 000 a. C. е.
Prof. Johnson conducts a hypothesis test on whether the proportion of all UBC students who bike to school (denoted as p) equals 30%. Specifically, Prof.Johnson has H0:p=0.3 versus HA:p≠0.3. He obtains a P-value of 0.01. On the other hand, Prof. Smith would like to test if there is sufficient evidence to support that p is greater than 0.3 at the 10% significance level. Based on Prof. Johnson's result, will the null hypothesis of Prof. Smith's test be rejected? A. There is insufficient information to tell.B. Yes.C. No.
A graduate student believes that people consider faces with more contrast between lip color and skin tone as more feminine. She identifies the null hypothesis as: Ho: The level of contrast between lip color and skin tone does not affect how feminine a face is considered. She chooses a significance level of 0.05. After she collects the data and computes the sample statistics, it is time for her to make a decision about the null hypothesis. What are the two possible decisions that the graduate student can make? Check all that apply. There is not enough evidence to reject the hypothesis that the contrast between lip color and skin tone affects how feminine a face is considered. There is enough evidence to reject the hypothesis that the contrast between lip color and skin tone does not affect how feminine a face is considered. There is enough evidence to reject the hypothesis that the contrast between lip color and skin tone affects how feminine a face is considered. ☐ There is not enough…
A researcher looking for evidence of extrasensory perception (ESP) tests 1000 subjects. Forty-three of these subjects do significantly better (P < 0.05) than random guessing. Forty-three seems like a lot of people, but you cannot conclude that these 43 people have ESP. Why not? The statistical significance level is not be stringent enough to conclude an ESP status. Since the tests were performed at the 5% significance level, as many as 50 subjects may have done significantly better than random guessing just by chance. The sample size was not large enough for any statistical inference. The P-value needs to be below 0.025 to be considered statistically significant given the two-tailed nature of this type of test.
The drug Ritalin is designed to stimulate the central nervous system. In a random sample of 252 boys aged ten – twelve years old, it was found that 44 of the boys were taking Ritalin. It is known that the proportion of all boys aged 13 – 15 who take Ritalin is 24%. A researcher claims that the population proportions of boys who take Ritalin aged 10 – 12 is different than boys aged 13 – 15. Can you support this claim at the 5% significance level? a. Conduct a hypothesis test to test the claim at the 5% significance level. Be sure to state you Ho and Ha, your test statistic and p-value, whether or not you reject Ho and whether you support the claim. b. Show that you can use the large sample methodology. c. Write a complete sentence describing what a Type I error is in context.
