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, 482 were in favor, 399 were opposed, and 116 were unsure. 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. Exclude the 116 subjects who said that they were unsure, and use a 0.05 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? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test. Choose the correct answer below.
A school psychologist is interested in determining if children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) learn better if English literature is read to them rather than having them read the material alone by themselves. A random sample of 10 sixth graders with ADHD is selected and divided into two groups of n=9. One of the groups has a story read to them (Listening Group) and the other reads the story alone by themselves (Reading Group). A test on the story is given after each group has finished reading or hearing the story. The following scores were obtained with 20 being a perfect score. What is the t-statistic?
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, 481 were in favor, 404 were opposed, and 118 were unsure. 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.

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."

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. Exclude the 121 subjects who said that they were unsure, and use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5.

5) In a recent Super Bowl, a TV network predicted that 48 % of the audience would express an interest in seeing one of its forthcoming television shows. The network ran commercials for these shows during the Super Bowl. The day after the Super Bowl, and Advertising Group sampled 94 people who saw the commercials and found that 41 of them said they would watch one of the television shows.Suppose you are have the following null and alternative hypotheses for a test you are running:H0:p=0.48H0:p=0.48Ha:p<0.48Ha:p<0.48Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 3 decimal places z=
Formulate the indicated conclusion in nontechnical terms. Be sure to address the original claim. An entomologist writes an article in a scientific journal which claims that fewer than 19 in ten thousand male fireflies are unable to produce light due to a genetic mutation. Assuming that a hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion in nontechnical terms.
The Psychic Friends Network (PFN) received telephone calls in 1999 from over 1.5 million people. A journal article attempted to shed some light onto the credibility of the PFN. One of the psychic friends' psychics agreed to take part in the following experiment. 10 cards are shown to the "psychic" then shuffled, and one is chosen at random. The psychic will then try to identify which card was drawn without seeing it. Assume that the experiment was repeated 15 times and that the results of any two experiments are independent of one another. Step 1 of 4: If we assume that the psychic is a fake (i.e, they are merely guessing at the cards and have no psychic powers), how many of the 15 cards do we expect the psychic to guess correctly? (Round your answer to the nearest integer)
