he percentage of people in the population suffering from a certain disease is 32%. There is a test to detect the disease that is quite accurate. Of the people who have the disease and who undergo the test, it is indicated that 2% of them do not have the disease. Of the people who do not have the disease and who undergo the test, 2% of them are reported to have the disease. Suppose a person takes the test and indicates that they have the disease. Find the probability that the person does have the disease. Round your answer to two decimal places.

A psychologist would like to examine the effects of a new drug on the activity level of animals. Three samples of rats are selected with n = 5 in each sample. The rats in the first sample serve as a control and do not get any of the drug. The rats in the second group receive a small dose, and the rats in the third group each get a large dose of the drug. The researcher records the activity level for each animal. Do these data indicate any significant differences among the three groups? Show all five steps, but you do not need to carry out post hoc analyses. Use alpha = .05. %3D Controls Small dose Large dose 2 15 2 12 3 2 3 2 2 12 1 1 3 SS = 4 SS = 2 SS = 6 EX2 = 9 EX2 = 22 EX2 = 51 G = 30
A researcher has participants expecting to receive either painful or mild electrical shocks during a study wait in a quarter-full waiting room with other participants. He then measures whether they choose to sit next to other participants or if they sit far away on their own. What is the best test to run for this study and why?
The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 32 records of automobile driver fatalities in Kit Carson County, Colorado, showed that 17 involved an intoxicated driver. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% in Kit Carson County? Use ? = 0.01. Solve the problem using both the traditional method and the P-value method. Since the sampling distribution of p̂ is the normal distribution, you can use critical values from the standard normal distribution as shown in the table of critical values of the z distribution. (Round the test statistic and the critical value to two decimal places. Round the P-value to four decimal places.) test statistic = critical value = P-value = State your conclusion in the context of the application. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01…
Some people seem to believe that you can fix anything with duct tape. Even so, many were skeptical when researchers announced that duct tape may be a more effective and less painful alternative than liquid nitrogen, which doctors routinely use to freeze warts. An article described a study conducted at a medical center. Patients with warts were randomly assigned to either the duct tape treatment or the more traditional freezing treatment. Those in the duct tape group wore duct tape over the wart for 6 days, then removed the tape, soaked the area in water, and used an emery board to scrape the area. This process was repeated for a maximum of 2 months or until the wart was gone. Data consistent with values in the article are summarized in the following table. Treatment n Number with WartSuccessfully Removed Liquid nitrogen freezing 103 60 Duct Tape 101 88 Do these data suggest that freezing is less successful than duct tape in removing warts? Test the relevant hypotheses using…
Suppose we want to study the effect of smoking on lung capacity in women. Match the study to experimental or observational. Find 100 women age 20 who do not currently smoke. Randomly assign 50 of the 100 women to the smoking treatment and the other 50 to the no smoking treatment. Those in the smoking group smoke a pack a day for 10 years while those in the control group remain smoke free for 10 years. Measure lung capacity for each of the 100 women. Find 100 women age 30 of which 50 have been smoking a pack a day for 10 years while the other 50 have been smoke free for 10 years. Measure lung capacity for each of the 100 women. Analyze, interpret, and draw conclusions from data.
In a study assessing helping behavior among college students on their way to class, you recruit 10 students. You tell some participants that they are late for class and need to rush. You tell others they are right on time. Finally, you tell others they have lots of time before class. As they walk across campus, they come across a man (actually a confederate) who appears to need help. You measure the extent to which the participant noticed that the confederate needed help (1= did not notice to 9 = really noticed). What is the acceptable level of risk? P>.05 p<.05 P= .05 P<,1
A child dying from an accidental poisoning is a terrible incident. Is it more likely that a male child will get into poison than a female child? To find this out, data was collected that showed that out of 1893 children between the ages one and four who pass away from poisoning, 995 were males and 898 were females. Do the data show that there are more male children dying of poisoning than female children? Test at the 1% level. State the hypotheses. Ho: P₁ = V OB P2 Ha: P₁ > V P2 Calculate the test statistics. Round to four decimal places. P₁ = P₂ = Calculate the standardized test statistic. Round three decimal places. Z = Find the p-value. Round to four decimal places. p-value = State your decision. X Since the p-value is less than .01, fail to reject Ho. Since the p-value is less than .01, reject Ho. O Since the p-value is greater than .01, reject Ho. O Since the p-value is greater than .01, fail to reject Ho. Interpret the results. O At the 1% level of significance, there is not…

Nine students held their breath, once after breathing normally and relaxing for one minute, and once after hyperventilating for one minute. The table indicates how long (in sec) they were able to hold their breath. Is there an association between the two variables?

13% 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 386 people from the inner city surveyed, 62 of them suffered from sleep apnea. What can be concluded at the level of significance of a = 0.05? %3D
Can a person train to become better at holding their breath? An experiment was designed to find out. Twelve volunteers were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups. The 6 volunteers assigned to group 1 were given breath-holding exercises to perform for 2 weeks. The other group was not given any information about the experiment. At the end of the 2 weeks, all 12 volunteers were individually tested to determine how long they could hold their breath. Here are the data (in seconds). Group 1: 90, 88, 70, 110, 75, 105 Group 2: 40, 48, 35, 50, 55, 62 The researcher would like to determine if these data provide convincing evidence that the true mean amount of time volunteers who were given training held their breath is greater than volunteers without training. Let μ1 = the true mean amount of time that volunteers who were given training held their breath and μ2 = the true mean amount of time that volunteers without training held their breath. What are the appropriate hypotheses? H0: μ1 – μ2…
