Suppose are running a study/poll about the proportion of women over 40 who regularly have mammograms. You randomly sample 117 people and find that 92 of them match the condition you are testing.Suppose you are have the following null and alternative hypotheses for a test you are running:H0:p=0.83Ha:p<0.83Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 3 decimal places z=z=
A researcher claims that the proportion of smokers in a certain city is less than 20%. To test this claim, a random sample of 700 people is taken in the city and 150 people indicate they are smokers. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: {H0:p=0.20 {Ha:p<0.20 Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test for a proportion. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
After running a regression you conduct a hypothesis test of Ho: ß = 2.5 versus Hạ: B + 2.5 is performed using a = 0.10. The value of the test statistic z = -1.80 (the critical value is -1.645). If the true value of B is 2.5, does the conclusion you reach result in Type I, Type II error, or the correct decision? O Type II Error O Type I Error O correct decision not enough information
You have determined that in the past three years there 7 of the 14 were hand injuries. Previous projections had indicated that under normal conditions, only four hand injuries were expected and 12 other injuries were expected. The remaining injuries were due to other causes. Calculate the chi-square value and discuss whether there was a significant difference in observed data vs. the expected data. Also discuss how the process of hypothesis testing might prove helpful o = 7 hand injuries and 7 other injuriese = 4 expected hand injuries and 12 other injuries
A certain magazine stated that the mean time for a Ford Mustang to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour is 4.1 seconds. (a) If you want to set up a statistical test to challenge the claim of 4.1 seconds, what would you use for the null hypothesis? 04.1 O = 4.1 (b) The town of Leadville, Colorado, has an elevation over 10,000 feet. Suppose you wanted to test the claim that the average time to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour is longer Leadville (because of less oxygen). What would you use for the alternate hypothesis? OH 4.1 OM 4.1 O = 4.1 (c) Suppose you made an engine modification and you think the average time to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour is reduced. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis? OH> 4.1 O μ< 4.1 OH 4.1. (d) For each of the tests in parts (b) and (c), would the P-value area be on the left, on the right, or on both sides of the mean? O left; both O right; left O left; right O both; left
Suppose we want to test the null hypothesis H0 : p1 − p2 = 0.2 against the alternative hypothesis Ha : p1 − p2 < 0.2 at the 5% level of significance. Suppose also that x1 = 80, n1 = 100, x2 = 40, n2 = 80. What is the observed test statistic for this test?
You wish to conduct a hypothesis test to determine if a bivariate data set has a significant correlation among the two variables. That is, you wish to test the claim that there is a correlation (Ha : p ‡ 0). You have a data set with 7 subjects, in which two variables were collected for each subject. You will conduct the test at a significance level of a = 0.05. Find the critical value for this test. rc.v. = ± Report answers accurate to three decimal places.
Suppose the national average dollar amount for an automobile insurance claim is $777.86. You work for an agency in Michigan and you are interested in whether or not the state average is less than the national average. The hypotheses for this scenario are as follows: Null Hypothesis: μ ≥ 777.86, Alternative Hypothesis: μ < 777.86. You take a random sample of claims and calculate a p-value of 0.0232 based on the data, what is the appropriate conclusion? Conclude at the 5% level of significance. Question 9 options: 1) The true average claim amount is significantly different from $777.86. 2) The true average claim amount is significantly less than $777.86. 3) The true average claim amount is significantly higher than $777.86. 4) We did not find enough evidence to say the true average claim amount is less than $777.86. 5) The true average claim…
Only about 15% of all people can wiggle their ears. Is this percent different for millionaires? Of the 398 millionaires surveyed, 40 could wiggle their ears.

A random sample of 144 recent donations at a certain blood bank reveals that 86 were type A blood. Does this suggest that the actual percentage of type A donations differs from 40%, the percentage of the population having type A blood?
