In a clinical trial of a drug intended to help people stop smoking, 131 subjects were treated with the drug for 13 weeks, and 13 subjects experienced abdominal pain. If someone claims that more than 8% of the drug's users experience abdominal pain, that claim is supported with a hypothesis test conducted with a 0.05 significance level. Using 0.18 as an alternative value of p, the power of the test is 0.96. Interpret this value of the power of the test.

Solve the following problems according to the proper test to be used: In a before and after experiment the responses obtained from 300 respondents were classified as follows: Before Treatment After Treatment Do not favor Favor Favor 70 80 Do not favor 110 40 Test at 5% significance level, if there is any significant difference in the opinion of people before and after the treatment. Use alpha = 0.05.
A study was performed to determine the percentage of people who wear life vests while out on the water. A researcher believed that the percentage was different for those who rode jet skis compared to those who were in boats. Out of 500500 randomly selected people who rode a jet ski, 85%85% wore life vests. Out of 250250 randomly selected boaters, 90.4%90.4% wore life vests. Using a 0.050.05 level of significance, test the claim that the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding a jet ski is not the same as the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding in a boat. Let jet skiers be Population 1 and let boaters be Population 2. Step 1 of 3 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below.

Question #2 A diet guide claims that you will get 120 calories in a serving of vanilla yogurt. Consumer Reports tested 14 brands of vanilla yogurt and found the following numbers of calories per serving: 160 200 220 230 120 180 140 130 170 190 80 120 100 170 Test the claim that the mean number of calories per serving of vanilla yogurt is 120. Use a significance level of 0.05. Show all the steps of your hypothesis test including The claim being tested: The null and alternative hypothesis: The test statistic
Please see below. Only given one attempt at this. People who sustain a concussion or a traumatic brain injury (TBI) are likely to experience sleep problems. Do these problems persist over time? Researchers recruited a sample of 31 patients who had their first TBI 18 months earlier and a control group of 42 otherwise similar individuals without prior TBIs. They compared sleep duration per 24 hours for the 2 groups. Which test is most appropriate for this scenario? A 2-sample test for means B 1-sample z-test for proportions C 2-sample test for proportions D matched-pairs E 1-sample t-test for means
From previous studies, it is concluded that 15% of people support stricter gun laws. A researcher claims it has decreased and decides to survey 100 adults. Test the researcher's claim at the α=0.05 significance level. After surveying 100 adult Americans, the researcher finds that 42 people support stricter gun laws. Compute the test statistic. Round to two decimal places.z= What is the pp -value? Round to 4 decimals.p= Make a decision based on α=0.05 significance level. Reject the null hypothesis. Do not reject the null hypothesis. What is the conclusion? There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that 15% of people support stricter gun laws has decreased. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that 15% of people support stricter gun laws has decreased.
A research company wants to determine whether there is a difference in effectiveness of a brand- name ibuprofen and generic ibuprofen. What are the appropriate hypotheses for this testing scenario?

The US Department of Energy reported that 48% of homes were heated by natural gas. A random sample of 331 homes in Oregon found that 132 were heated by natural gas. Test the claim that proportion of homes in Oregon that were heated by natural gas is different than what was reported. Use a 1% significance level. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places. What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and use decimal values not percentages.) H0: H1: Based on the hypotheses, compute the following:Test Statistic = p-value = Based on the above we choose to The correct summary would be: that the proportion of homes in Oregon that were heated by natural gas is different than what the DOE reported value of 48%.
