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.

What is the p value for the following scenario: Out of 300 male inpatients, there are 195 that have a MCC and out of 450 female inpatients 205 have a MCC.
A student pursuing a degree in English as a second language believes the proportion female factory workers who can't speak English is less than the proportion of male factory workers who can't speak English. To test her claim she randomly selects 313 female factory workers and out of them 48 could not speak English. She then randomly selects 400 male factory workers and out of them 43 could not speak English. Test her claim at a=0.05 to see if she was right. The correct hypotheses are: O Ho:PF Рм (сclaim) O Ho:PF 2 PM HA:PF < PM(claim) O Ho:PF = pM HA:PF + PM(claim) Since the level of significance is 0.10 the critical value is -1.282 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places) The decision can be made to: O reject Ho O do not reject Ho The final conclusion is that: O There is enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion female factory workers who can't speak English is less than the proportion of male factory workers who can't speak…
The authors of a paper randomly selected two samples of patients admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke. One sample was selected from patients who received biofeedback weight training for 8 weeks, and the other sample was selected from patients who did not receive this training. At the end of 8 weeks, the time it took (in seconds) to stand from a sitting position and then to sit down again (called sit-stand-sit time) was measured for the people in each sample. Data consistent with summary quantities given in the paper are given below. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that the samples are representative of the population of stroke patients who receive the biofeedback training and the population of stroke patients who do not receive this training.

A researcher designs an intervention to combat anti-Arab oppression. She also designs a questionnaire to measure anti-Arab oppression so she can test the participants' level of anti-Arab oppression before and after the intervention. She tests one version of her questionnaire with 45 statements and a shorter version with 12 statements. In both questionnaires, the participants respond to each statement with a rating on a 5-point Likert scale with 0 equaling "strongly disagree" and 4 equaling "strongly agree." The overall score for each participant is the mean of his or her ratings for the different statements on the questionnaire. Look at the following graphs. Graph I graphs the results from the long version, and Graph II graphs the results from the short version.

Auditors must make judgments about various aspects of an audit on the basis of their own direct experience, indirect experience, or a combination of the two. In a study, auditors were asked to make judgmentS about the frequency of errors to be found in an audit. The judgments by the auditors were then compared to the actual results. Suppose the following data were obtained from a similar study; lower scores indicate better judgments. If answer is zero enter "0".

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 ₁ = the true mean amount of time that volunteers who were given training held their breath and ₂ = the true mean amount of time that volunteers without training held their breath. What are the appropriate hypotheses? Ho: U1 - U2 = 0, Ha:…
For one month, 500 elementary students kept a daily record of the hours they spent watching television. The average number of hours per week spent watching television was 28. The researchers conducting the study also obtained report cards for each of the students. They found that the students who did well in school tended to spend less time watching television than those students who did poorly. Listed are several possible statements concerning the results of this research. Place a check by every statement that you agree with based on this study. a. Even though students who did well watched less television, this doesn't necessarily mean that watching television hurts school performance. b. One month is not a long enough period of time to estimate how many hours the students really spend watching television. c. The sample of 500 is too small to permit drawing conclusions about elementary students in general. d. I don't agree with any of these statements. e. If a student decreased the…
