In a large clinical trial, 399,342 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 201,406 children given a vaccine for a certain disease, and 27 of those children developed the disease. The other 197,936children were given a placebo, and 93 of those children developed the disease. Consider the vaccine treatment group to be the first sample. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.a.

For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding.The National Council of Small Businesses is interested in the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. Since there are so many small businesses, the National Council intends to estimate the proportion from a random sample. Let p be the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. (a) If no preliminary sample is taken to estimate p, how large a sample is necessary to be 95% sure that a point estimate p̂ will be within a distance of 0.09 from p? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) small businesses(b) In a preliminary random sample of 30 small businesses, it was found that six had declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

1. According to Newsweek, the natural ratio of girls to boys’ birth rate is 100:105 or 48.8%. In China, the ratio of girls to boys is 100:114 (46.7%). You do not believe the Chinese birth ratio statistics and decide to conduct your own research. After randomly selecting 150 recent births in China, you find that the mothers had 60 girls and 90 boys. Based on the results of your study, do you believe that the percent of girls born in China is 46.7%? a. What statistical test will you use to test this data? b. State the null and alternative hypothesis. i. H0: ii. Ha: c. What are the confidence intervals? d. What is the value of the test statistic? e. What is the p-value? f. Circle/highlight the correct decision about the null hypothesis. Reject H0 Fail to Reject H0 g. What are your conclusions?
Many questions in research can be expressed as two competing statements about the population parameter. These two statements are called the null and the alternative hypotheses. Usually, the researcher hopes the sample evidence will be in favor of the alternative hypothesis, the new theory. It is important to be able to state the theories that are being put to a test. Suppose that 40% of all supermarkets in the US use recyclable plastic bags. We would like to assess if the proportion of supermarkets in Michigan that use recyclable plastic bags is more than the stated rate. For this scenario, write out the hypotheses to be put to the test and define the parameter of interest in context of the problem.

The Difference of Two Sample Proportions: III Belinda plans to take a simple random sample of 2500 U.S. adults and to compute the proportion of them who believe in the theory of evolution. (Call this sample proportion p1-hat.) She also intends to take an independent simple random sample of 1600 adults from France and to compute the the proportion of them who believe in the theory of evolution. (Call this sample proportion p2-hat.) Unknown to Belinda, the proportion of all U.S. adults who believe in the theory of evolution is 0.50 (or 50%), whereas the proportion of all French adults who believe in the theory of evolution is 0.75, or 75%. Using the expected value and the SD of p1-hat minus p2-hat, which of the following makes the most sense? Group of answer choices ( ) The percentage of adults in the U.S. sample who believe in evolution should turn out to be about 25% less than the percentage of adults in the French sample who believe in evolution, give or take about 3% or so for…

Only the question 5 and 6 need to be resolved. Others have been reaolved already. Question: sample of 15, 10 years old children was taken to study whether watching television reduces the amount of physical exercise, causing weight gains. The number of kilograms each child was overweight by was recorded (a negative number indicates the child is underweight). In addition, the number of hours of television viewing per week was also recorded. These data are listed in the table below.

Solve the following problems. Use the steps in conducting hypothesis tests.We are interested in whether the proportions of female suicide victims for ages 15 to 24 are the same for the whites and the blacks races in the United States. We randomly pick one year, 1992, to compare the races. The number of suicides estimated in the United States in 1992 for white females is 4,930. Five hundred eighty were aged 15 to 24. The estimate for black females is 330. Forty were aged 15 to 24. We will let female suicide victims be our population.
