Which of the following statements is correct? 1) 79% of all roaches are killed 2) 79% is a statistic 3) 79% is a parameter 4) more than 79% of roaches are killed 5) less than 79% of roaches are killed

2. A researcher wants to determine which of three advertisements is most likely to encourage teens not to smoke. To assess the impact of each advertisement, she asks a sample of teenagers to view each ad and to rate the ad's effectiveness on a scale of 1 (not at all effective) to 7 (very effective). One ad used words only (no-cues condition), a second ad used a generic abstract picture (generic-cues condition), and a third showed a picture of a teen smoking and coughing (smoking-related cues condition). Fully test the question (5 steps) and determine the effect size.

A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 318 people over the age of 55, 77 dream in black and white, and among 298 people under the age of 25, 16 dream in black and white. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. H4: P1 P2 H: P1 #P2 O D. Ho: P1 SP2 H1: P1#P2 O E. Ho: P1 P2 H1: P1 = P2 O F. Ho: P1 =P2 H1: P1 #P2 Identify the test statistic. z= 6.52 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Identify the P-value. P-value = 0.000 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis test? The P-value is less than the significance level of a = 0.05, so reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion…
1. The percentage of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported talking at least once in the past year with their parents about the dangers of drug, tobacco, or alcohol is 60% nationally. A state youth council believes this proportion is higher in their state, where there has been an intense media campaign about this issue. A survey of randomly chosen students from across the state shows 1032 of 1642 students reporting they are having these conversations with their parents. Is there evidence that the percent of students using drugs, tobacco or alcohol in this state is above the national rate?
1) The Mars company says that before the introduction of purple M&Ms, 20% of the candies were yellow, 20% were red, 10% were orange, 10% were blue, 10% were green, and the rest were brown. You buy a bag of M&Ms and count 29 yellow, 23 red, 12 orange, 14 blue, 8 green and 20 brown. Use a significance level of ? = 0.1. d) Use your calculator to perform the appropriate hypothesis test and report the test statistic, p- value and degrees of freedom. Be sure to write out what you entered in your calculator. e) Write a full conclusion for this test in the context of the problem.
Suppose we wish to compare the health status of two groups of people. What variables might we use to measure the status? What variables might we want to control in order to draw the appropriate inferences and why?
Do ethnic group and gender influence the type of care that a heart patient receives? The following pas- sage is from the article “Heart Care Reflects Race and Sex, Not Symptoms” (USA Today, February 25, 1999, reprinted with permission):Previous research suggested blacks and women were less likely than whites and men to get cardiac cathe- terization or coronary bypass surgery for chest pain or a heart attack. Scientists blamed differences in illness severity, insurance coverage, patient preference, and health care access. The researchers eliminated those differences by videotaping actors—two black men, two black women, two white men, and two white women—describing chest pain from identical scripts. They wore identical gowns, used identical gestures, and were taped from the same position. Researchers asked 720 primary care doctors at meetings of the American College of Physicians or the American Academy of Family Physicians to watch a tape and recommend care. The doctors thought the…
A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 320 people over the age of 55, 72 dream in black and white, and among 313 people under the age of 25, 15 dream in black and white. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion for those under 25. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. Consider the first sample to be the sample of people over the age of 55 and the second sample to be the sample of people under the age of 25. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? A. H0: p1=p2 H1: p1≠p2 B. H0: p1=p2 H1: p1>p2 C. H0: p1≥p2 H1: p1≠p2 D. H0: p1≠p2 H1: p1=p2 E. H0: p1≤p2 H1: p1≠p2 F. H0: p1=p2 H1:p1<p2 Identify the test statistic. z=_____ (Round to…
A research poll included 1762 randomly selected adults who were asked whether "global warming is a problem that requires immediate government action." Results showed that 975 of those surveyed indicated that immediate government action is required. A news reporter wants to determine whether these survey results constitute strong evidence that the majority (more than 50%) of people believe that immediate government action is required. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. What is the best estimate of the proportion of adults who believe that immediate government action is required? The best estimate is ☐ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?
