Determine whether the results appear to have statistical significance, and also determine whether the results appear to have practical significance. In a study of a birth sex selection method used the method had no effect. increase the likelihood of a baby being born female, 2054 users of the method gave birth to 1005 males and 1049 females. There is about a 17% chance of getting that many babies born fema Because there is a 17% chance of getting that many babies born female if the method had no effect, the method couples would likely use a procedure that raises the likelihood of a baby bor female from the approximately 50% rate expected by chance to the % produced by this method.

A local school board wants to estimate the difference in the proportion of households with school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier, and the proportion of households without school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier. They survey a random sample of 40 households with school-aged children about whether they would support starting the school year a week earlier, and 38 households respond yes. They survey a random sample of 45 households that do not have school-aged children, and 25 respond yes. The school board plans to construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of households who would support starting the school year a week earlier. Are the conditions for inference met? A) Yes, the conditions for inference are met. B) No, the 10% condition is not met. C) No, the randomness condition is not met. D) No, the Large Counts Condition is not met.
BFW Publishers An article in Forbes magazine claims that half of the adults in the United States do not have any savings. To substantiate that claim, the company, GoBanking, asked a random sample of 500 adults around the country how much money they have in savings and found that 265, or 53% of them, had no savings. To determine if these data provide convincing evidence that more than half of the adults in the United States do not have any savings, 200 simulated SRSS were selected. Each dot in the graph shows the number of adults that have no savings in a simulated SRS of 500 adults, assuming that each person has a 50% chance of not having any savings. The sample result showed that 265 out of 500 adults had no savings. The simulation shows the number of adults out of 500 that we can expect to have no savings if 50% is true. 220 225 230 235 240 245 250 255 260 265 270 275 280 Simulated sample count of adults that do not have any savings Based on the results of the simulation, is there…
People who experience online harassment either ignore it or respond via postings or involving authorities. Is one method more effective than the other? A 2014 Pew Research Center report, based on a random sample of American adults, found that 412 of the 549 respondents who had chosen to ignore online harassment thought that it was an effective way to deal with the issue. Of the 368 respondents who had chosen to respond to online harassment, 305 thought that it had been effective.
Please help me better understand how to properly solve. A randomized controlled experiment in Charlotte, North Carolina, studied three police responses to spousal abuse: advise and possibly separate the couple, issue a citation to the offender, and arrest the offender. The effectiveness of the three responses was determined by re-arrest rates. The photo shows the rates. Research wishes to test null hypothesis that that the proportions of subsequent arrests are the same regardless of the treatment assigned. Under the null hypothesis, determine the expected number of times no subsequent arrest would occur for the treatment “Advise/separate”?
High levels of cholesterol in the blood are associated with higher risk of heart attacks. Will using a drug to lower blood cholesterol reduce heart attacks? The Helsinki Heart Study recruited middle-aged men with high cholesterol but no history of other serious medical problems to investigate this question. The volunteer subjects were assigned at random to one of two treatments: 2051 men took the drug gemfibrozil to reduce their cholesterol levels, and a control group of 2030 men took a placebo. During the next five years, 56 men in the gemfibrozil group and 84 men in the placebo group had heart attacks. Is the apparent benefit of gemfibrozil statistically significant? Are all the conditions met?
An experiment compares the taste of instant coffee versus fresh brewed. Each subject tastes two unmarked cups of coffee – in random order – and states which he or she prefers. Of the 50 who participate, 19 (or 38%) prefer the instant coffee while the remaining 31 (or 62%) prefer the fresh brewed. Let pdenote the proportion of the population who prefer fresh-brewed over instant. We wish to test if people prefer fresh-brewed over instant. Which of the following are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses? Hint: if people cannot tell the difference between fresh brewed and instant, what would that make the value of p be? The null hypothesis is H0: ["", "", "", ""] The alternative hypothesis is Ha:
A Two-Sample Hypothesis Test The principal at a local high school claims that the proportion of high school males taking AP statistics is the same as the proportion of high school females taking statistics. Upon surveying 30 males and 28 females. The principal found that 6 males and 7 females are taking AP statistics. Although the proportions of these two populations are close, can the principal state that they are, in fact, statistically the same? (ASsume a 5% level of significance.)
According to a study on the effects of smoking by pregnant women on rates of asthma in their children, for expectant mothers who smoke 20 cigarettes per day, 22.2% of their children developed asthma by the age of two in the US. A biology professor at a university would like to test if the percentage is different in another country. She randomly selects 319 women who only deliver one child and smoke 20 cigarettes per day during pregnancy in that country and finds that 82 of the children developed asthma by the age of two. In this hypothesis test, Do the hypothesis test. Use a level of significance of a = 0.05; Use the unrounded values in Excel to find the answers for #3 and #4 1. This is an example of 2. Find the standard error. 3. Find the z value. Question 10 V a hypothesis test.
Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?
A pharmaceutical company proposed a vaccine that would combat paralytic polio. Two independent random samples were collected from the population. One random sample of 201,229 was given the placebo, and among them 100,910 contracted paralytic polio. The other random sample of 200,745 was given the vaccine, and among them 50,033 people ended up contracting paralytic polio. Let the true proportion of cases of paralytic polio given placebo be p1p1 and the true proportion of cases of paralytic polio given vaccine be p2. Calculate the upper bound of a 95% confidence interval for p1−p2. Round your answer to three decimal places.

The volunteer subjects were assigned at random to one of two treatments: 2051 men took the drug gemfibrozil to reduce their cholesterol levels, and a control group of 2030 men took a placebo. During the next five years, 56 men in the gemfibrozil group and 84 men in the placebo group had heart attacks. Is the apparent benefit of gemfibrozil statistically significant? Using the p-value that you get from your previous z-test statistic, would you conclude that gemfibrozil is probably effective?
