Imagine that you are collaborating with another researcher on a project. In your experiment, an initial sample of 40 participants randomly assigned to one of two groups (n=20 each) leads to an independent samples t-test result that doesn't quite reach statistical significance (p .08, which is so sad). Your collaborator proposes that you continue the experiment, adding 40 more participants (20 to each condition). Then, your collaborator reasons that, if p is lower than .05, you can publish your final sample size of n=80 with statistically significant results.

In the largest clinical trial ever conducted, 401,974 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 201,229 children given the Salk vaccine for polio, and 33 of those children developed polio. The other 200,745 children were given a placebo, and 115 of those children developed polio. If we want to test the claim that the rate of polio is less for children given the Salk vaccine, are the requirements for the hypothesis test satisfied? Explain.
Historically it is known thatp = 36.3% of the population have a specified characteristic. A random sample of size n=500 is taken, and x=167 number of the population has the specified characteristic. Determine the value of the test statistic for the hypothesis test of one proportion with null hypothesis Ho: p = 36.3%. Enter your answer to two decimal places.
You hear on the local news that for the city of Kalamazoo, the proportion of people who support President Trump is 0.42. However, you think it is less than 0.42. The hypotheses you want to test are Null Hypothesis: p ≥ 0.42, Alternative Hypothesis: p < 0.42. You take a random sample around town and calculate a p-value for your hypothesis test of 0.7963. What is the appropriate conclusion? Conclude at the 5% level of significance. Question 4 options: 1) We did not find enough evidence to say the proportion of people who support President Trump is larger than 0.42. 2) We did not find enough evidence to say a significant difference exists between the proportion of people who support President Trump and 0.42 3) The proportion of people who support President Trump is significantly less than 0.42. 4) We did not find enough evidence to say the proportion of people who support…
A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 80%. After making some recent changes, the marriage counselor now claims that her program can prevent divorce in more than 80% of married couples. In a random sample of 215 married couples who completed her program, 180 of them stayed together. Based on this sample, is there enough evidence to support the marriage counselor’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. A. State the null hypothesis Hoand the alternative hypothesis H1. Ho: H1: B. Find the value of the test statistic.

An experimenter has prepared a drug-dose level that he claims will induce sleep for at least 70% of people suffering from insomnia. After examining the dosage we feel that his claims regarding the effectiveness of his dosage are too high. In an attempt to disprove his claim, we administer his prescribed dosage to 80 insomniacs and observe that 51 of them have had sleep induced by the drug dose. Is there enough evidence to refute his claim at the 5% level of significance? a) state null and alternate hypotheses b) find the test statistic and rejection region c) state your conclusion
A researcher wants to examine the effect of daily mental exercises on cognitive performance of people in early stages of Alzheimer's disease. She enrolled to her study n = 16 patients diagnosed with the early stage of Alzheimer's disease and all participants conducted daily mental exercises for a month. At the end of the program all enrolled patients took the MMSE test (i.e., Mini-Mental State Examination). The results show that the sample mean on the MMSE test was M = 23.6 with the standard deviation, s = 7. It is known that the MMSE mean in the population of patients with early Alzheimer's disease is µ = 20. Do these data show a significant effect of daily mental exercises on cognitive performance in early stages of Alzheimer's disease?
MTH2003 SP 2023 4. If you are a dog lover, perhaps having your dog along reduces the effect of stress. To examine the effect of pets in stressful situations, researchers recruited 48 women who said they were dog lovers. Sixteen of the subjects were randomly assigned to each of three groups to do a stressful task-alone (the control group C), with a good friend present (F), or with their dog present (P). The subject's average heart rate during the task is one measure of the effect of stress. The following is the output Based on the screenshot of analysis, please record the information from ANOVA run on crunch-it. . listed below in your answer, and then draw your conclusion. Be sure to decide if this was appropriate to run in the first place. Write a one or two sentence summary in non-statistical language to describe what you have found, not how you found it. Your audience is people who have never had a statistics class (think of middle of the road 8th graders, not the really bright…
In a previous poll, 43% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose that, in a more recent poll, 470 of 1145 adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased? Use the α=0.01 significance level. Find the test statistic, z0.
To evaluate the effect of a treatment, a sample of n = 8 is obtained from a population with a mean of μ = 40, and the treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample. After treatment, the sample mean is found to be M = 35. (Use the 4-step procedure to conduct the hypothesis test) If the sample variance is s2 = 32, are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect using a two-tailed test with α = .05? If the sample variance is s2 = 72, are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect using a two-tailed test with α = .05? Comparing your answer for parts a and b, how does the variability of the scores in the sample influence the outcome of a hypothesis test?
Suppose we are interested in investigating the mean of a normally distributed population. As part of the investigation, we intend to draw a sample of 1400 observations from this population and carry out a test of the null hypothesis Ho : µ =450 against a two-sided alternative hypothesis. Suppose that in reality, the population mean is 450. On average, what will the p-value equal? (Give your numeric response to at least 3 decimal places.
