a survey is conducted to compare the proportions of men and women whoaccess their bank statements online. Denoting the population propotions by Pm and Pw, a two-proportion z-test is carried out to test Ho: pm = pw against Ha: pm > pw. The values of the test statistic is found to be z = 0.784, and the p-value for the test is found to be 0.216. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the p-value? a) given that ha is true, the probability of getting a value of z at least as large as 0.784 is 0.216. b) given that ho is true, the probability of getting a value of z at least as large as 0.784 is 0.216. c) given the results of the survey, the probability that Pm > Pw is 0.216. d) given the results of the survey, the probability that Pm = Pw is 0.216. e) none of the above
A researcher found that the two groups (n=25 in each group) they tested were significantly different from each other with a t-value of 2.91, which has a corresponding p-value of p=.06. For this study, report the statistics in APA format.
A process is monitored for defective items by taking a sample of 200 items each day and calculating the proportion that are defective. Let p; be the proportion of defective items in the ith sample. For the last 30 samples, the sum of the proportions is E P; = 1.64. Calculate the center line and the 30 upper and lower control limits for a p chart.

The head of a computer science department is interested in estimating the proportion of students entering the department who will choose the new computer engineering option. A preliminary sample indicates that the proportion will be around 0.35. Therefore, what size sample should the department head take if she wants to be 95% confident that the estimate is within 0.10 of the true proportion?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that adversely affects the quality of life of millions of men. A study of a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of this condition looked at pretreatment Quality of Life (QOL Base) and Quality of Life (QOL 3Mo) after 3 months on treatment. Quality of Life was rated using an ordinal scale of 0 to 6, where 0 is "Delighted" and 6 is "Terrible" Create a "Delta" column depicting the Difference between the Base and 3-month ratings Find the Mean of the Differences, Standard Deviation and Standard Error for the Delta values Is there a Significant Difference in Quality of Life 3 months after treatment?
