Childhood obesity: A national health survey weighed a sample of 530 boys aged 6-11 and found that 73 of them were overweight. They weighed a sample of 479 girls aged 6-11 and found that 62 of them were overweight. Can you conclude that the proportion of boys who are overweight is greater than the proportion of girls who are overweight? Let p₁ denote the proportion of boys who are overweight and let p₂ denote the proportion of girls who are overweight. Use the a = 0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.

10% of all Americans suffer from sleep apnea. A researcher suspects that a higher percentage of those who live in the inner city have sleep apnea. Of the 389 people from the inner city surveyed, 47 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of α= 0.01? b.The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: (please enter a decimal) H1: (Please enter a decimal) c. The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d.The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Give the null and the alternative hypotheses for the following situations. You only need to set up the hypotheses in this part. Make sure to use the appropriate parameter symbol in the statement of the hypotheses: p or µ. The null and alternative hypothesis has been given for the first problem. 1. A coffee manufacturer sells jars of coffee supposedly filled with 10 ounces of coffee. The Consumer Fraud Bureau of a state has received numerous complaints that some of the jars contain less than the specified 10 ounces. The Bureau decides to investigate these complaints by sampling 100 jars. Does the data indicate that the coffee manufacturer can be accused of "short-changing" the customer? Use a 5% level of significance. Ho: Ha: 2. . In an ABC/Washington Post survey 855 randomly selected Americans listed gun control as an important issue in elections.

(a) Express the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form for the following claim. A manager claims that the average lunch break is more than 0.4 hours long. O Ho: p = 0.4 vs. H: p 0.4 H;: µ # 0.4 O Ho: H = 0.4 vs. H: µ > 0.4 O Ho: p = 0.4 Hi:p # 0.4 Vs. (b) State the indicated conclusion in nontechnical terms, being sure to address the original claim. An entomologist writes an article in a scientific journal claiming that at most 1.48% of male fireflies are unable to produce light due to a genetic mutation. A hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted, and the decision from that test is to fail to reject Ho. O There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the true proportion is at most 1.48%.

The mean SAT Score in mathematics is 523. The standard deviation of these scores is 39. A special preparation course claims that the mean SAT score, u, of its graduates is greater than 523. An independent researcher tests this by taking a random sample of 33 students who completed the course; the mean SAT score in mathematics for the sample was 541. Assume that the population is normally distributed. At the 0.01 level of significance, can we conclude that the population mean SAT score for graduates of the course is greater than 523? Assume that the population standard deviation of the scores of course graduates is also 39. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H,. H, : H : (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. D=D OSO (Choose one) (c)…
