According to the Center for Disease Control website, in 2011 at least 18% of high school students have smoked a cigarette. An Introduction to Statistics class in a town conducted a hypothesis test at the local high school (a medium sized—approximately 1,200 students—small city demographic) to determine if the local high school's percentage was lower. One hundred fifty students were chosen at random and surveyed. Of the 150 students surveyed, 85 have smoked. Use a significance level of 0.05 and using appropriate statistical evidence, conduct a hypothesis test and state the conclusions.Note: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) State the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
An online poll asked: "Do you believe the Loch Ness monster exists?" Among 21,489 responses, 64% were "yes." Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that most people believe that the Loch Ness monster exists. How is the conclusion affected by the fact that Internet users who saw the question could decide whether to respond? Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test.
Consider a drug testing company that provides a test for marijuana usage. Among 293 tested subjects, results from 29 subjects were wrong (either a false positive or a false negative). Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that less than 10 percent of the test results are wrong
In a study of 820 randomly selected medical malpractice lawsuits, it was found that 471 of them were dropped or dismissed. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed. What is the test statistic? (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Consider a drug that is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 6073 patients treated with this drug, 160 developed the adverse reaction of nausea. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that 3% of users develop nausea. Does nausea appear to be a problematic adverse reaction? Find the test statistic and the P value
A Mailing Company sells computers and computer parts by mail. The company claimsthat at least 90% of all orders are mailed within 86 hours after they are received. The qualitycontrol department at the company often takes samples to check if this claim is valid. A recentlytaken sample of 164 orders showed that 135 of them were mailed within 86 hours. Do you thinkthe company’s claim is true? Use a 2.5% significance level.
According to a publication, 12.9% of 18 to 25-year-olds were users of marijuana in 2000. A recent poll of 1378 randomly selected 18 to 25-year-olds revealed that 215 currently use marijuana. At the 2% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of 18 to 25-year-olds who currently use marijuana has changed from the 2000 percentage of 12.9%? Use the one-proportion z-test to perform the appropriate hypothesis test, after checking the conditions for the procedure.
Consider a drug that is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 6055 patients treated with this drug, 152 developed the adverse reaction of nausea. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that 3% of users develop nausea. Does nausea appear to be a problematic adverse reaction?
In one study of smokers who tried to quit smoking with nicotine patch therapy, 40 were smoking one year after treatment and 32 were not smoking one year after the treatment. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that among smokers who try to quit with nicotine patch therapy, the majority are smoking one year after the treatment. Do these results suggest that the nicotine patch therapy is not effective? Identify the test statistic for this hypothesis test. The test statistic for this hypothesis test is Identify the P-value for this hypothesis test. The P-value for this hypothesis test is
In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, one restaurant had 40 orders that were not accurate among 310 orders observed. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of inaccurate orders is equal to 10%. The test statistic for this hypothesis test is what?
A large manufacturing company claims that less than 10% of its customers make a complaint about the company’s products. Test this claim at the 10% significance level, if a survey found that 29 out of a random sample of 320 of the company’s customers made a complaint about the company’s products.
Adults randomly selected for a poll were asked if they "favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos." Of the subjects surveyed, 257 were in favor, 281 were opposed, and 103 were unsure. A politician claims that people don't really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin flip. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5. Find the null and alternative hypothesis. H0: p=0.5 p<0.5 p≠0.5 p>0.5 H1: p<0.5 p>0.5 p≠0.5 p=0.5 If we consider + to represent those in favor, then how many of each sign is there? Positive Signs: Negative Signs: Total Signs: What is the p-value? (Round to three decimal places.) What is the conclusion about the null? What is the conclusion about the claim?
